It is with this theory in mind that he shares his fascinating personal experiences and insight into his views as he recalls a unique journey through a creative life filled with adventures and misadventures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn his memoir, Hicks begins with remembrances from his childhood growing up in North Dakota, where he emulated his cowboy heroes by riding a pretend horse, wearing real bearskin chaps, and firing a Red Ryder BB gun at imaginary desperadoes. As he matured, he found a passion for music, formed his own combo, and began traveling to and from gigs that took him from North Dakota to Montana and beyond. Motivated by his love for music, Hicks eventually landed in California, where he began playing professionally and found a new passion as a visual artist-a discovery that leads him down an unforgettable path, questioning his challenges, choices, chances, and changes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo and from Gigs\u003c\/i\u003e is the intimate memoir of a musician, artist, and teacher who embarked on a lifelong search to find his better self.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 12, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48725836038392,"sku":"9781475998634","price":35.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/2XDueFRuPW9781475998634.webp?v=1780235425","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/to-and-from-gigs-challenges-choices-chances-changes-hardcover","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
