Got my boots, a roll of tools, leathers for the rain
Helmet for where it’s the law, flask for the pain
I’ve taken off the sea shell; laid it on its beaded thong
The one you made me by the coast when I wrote you that song
Doesn’t suit my neck no more, cuts right though my skin
Gonna kick this old bike into life and climb back on the wind
But there you are, standing at the side of the road
There you are, thumb not hanging out
There you are, crying out those cactus eyes
“Stay, let me make it right”

Hicks & Dawe Old New Year’s 2014
Posted: January 13, 2014 in gigs, Hicks & Dawe, musicTags: hicks&dawe, loren hicks, music, The Local
To celebrate New Year’s on the Orthodox calendar, we’ve lined up some special tunes for you. In our own orthodox way, we’ll be playing almost exclusively our own neo-roots material. Our own way, as always.
It will be a warm, cozy night to get away from the frigid howling mess that Toronto has become, and time to raise a pint to spring. You know, the more you come out and have fun, the sooner spring will come. Scientific fact.
Me on banjo, Doc on guitar, and Neil on sax and bass. 3 sets – starting at 9, done by midnight. Hope to see you.
Tuesday, January 14th

Hot Buttered Rum – nice holiday song
Posted: December 16, 2013 in music, videosTags: #junctionto, banjo, loren hicks, music, video
This has long been one of my favourite holiday sings. Written by Tommy Thompson and performed by him with The Red Clay Ramblers, I almost wore the vinyl out (I know I’m dating myself there). I finally got around to learning it properly for the Hicks & Dawe 2013 Holiday Party, and decided it might be nice to record it just very simply with the Gold Tone dojo in my living room. With a little Kraken Spiced Rum, just to ease my vocal cords of course. Hope you like it.
Ready for the Holidays

OK – it’s a week away – the Hicks & Dawe Holiday party at Grafitti’s:
Wednesday, December 11thm from 7 to 10 PM, so you can be home happy and still rested for Thursday.
170 Baldwin in Kensington Market …
Mitchell is going to let us decorate the place in a holiday way (for those of you that know Grafitti’s – just imagine!).
We’re planning some snacks – most of the prizes and giveaways are in my hands already – we’re up to snuff on some obscure but delightful holiday tunes – this will be just pure fun all evening (well, until 10, anyway) —
Is that Deerslayer hiding behind the cat door?
