My main interests other than Music, are painting in black and white, building computers, and running my web site, so as I can get my songs heard! I no longer do tours, and only do TV or Radio nowadays, the trouble is I dont ever seem to want to stop playing my guitar, and still like to make people happy! Broadcasting my own music for nothing is more pleasing than singing known songs for a bunch of drunks! I used to join in! And I enjoyed it while it lasted! But! If you want to live to an old age, then you have to learn that all good things must come to an end! So, Good health to us all! Hickory

About me: I have been on the music scene since 1958, I was twelve years old, and had been playing the guitar for eighteen months, I played at mount rd transport club,Mount rd, Levenshulme,Mc me and Glynn Ellis (Wayne Fontana)used to be plonked in the cricket changing rooms with a lemonade and a packet of crisps, both of our parents liked a good night out at "the club" now and then we would be asked to sing and play on stage! before I left school at the age of fifteen, I had met Bobby And Eddie Crossland, Bob and Eddie both played the guitar and sang. So we formed our first band Bobby Dell and the Strangers, when we left school we changed the name to Bobby Dell and the Delstars.
I left that band in 1963, I tried to form a few bands with no success. at the age of nineteen, I formed a duo The Ivan Brothers, we rocketed to manchester fame and soon became known internationaly, we missed the boat a few times with various recording companies, including a meeting with Peter Asher at Apple, we chose the wrong material for him. when I finaly split with Ivan, I went on the road by myself as Tony Dell and later changed my name to W Hickory Smith. I am still known as Hickory Smith to this day! Why dont you take a look at my web site? Its
http://www.bigbonghick.com ... You can dowload various songs of mine, some are for free, Especialy my war protest songs! also I have uploaded a video of me playing at a street party in Jackson, Tennessee, along with a brilliant backing band, with W S Holland on drums. W S Holland was Johnny Cash's drummer until Johnny died a few years ago. also I will put on this site a free download of The Muddy waters of the Mississippi, I recieved a letter of gratitude from the mayor of New Orleans (Ray Nagin) for writing this song and donating any US rights to use it,to make money for them poor people that got flooded out! I hope you enjoy my web site. I must add that I am very happily married,to my present wife of thirty one years, I have four children, and seven grand kids!

Sorry to say Hickory passed away. I received an email from his daughter Alexandria. He was a great man and will be missed by his friends in Jackson TN.
Hello. I just have to say a HUGE "Thank You" for the kind words you had about my mom, Lorene Parchman, in your blog!! She really enjoyed having you all over!!! THANK YOU!!!
Hi Hickory. Heard you and your wife on 101.5 again. You folks seem so nice. I had to laugh, that silly ole Dan doesn't understand some of the things ya'll say. hahahaha I hope you have had a pleasant stay here in Jackson, TN!! Sure has been hot tho. lol I wish you had brought some rain with you since you said you had more than enough when you left home.
Just saw this and snipped it out. But heard on radio it might get up to 105 next day or so. And will be like this for next 7 to 10 days and no rain in forecast. :( My flowers are burning up! I think I will just quit trying to water them and give up till next yr.
