I grew up 10 miles south of Greenville Mississippi, it ain't no town and it ain't no city. Just outside of Wayside, Ms my father had a farm that we affectionately referred to as "Po' Baby", 240 acres of the sorriest land that the Lord ever created, buck-shot, Delta gumbo.

Now here I am 48 years later. I took quite a few years off from playing to raise my son. Now that he can drive me around, I'm back at it again. Right now I'm working with Duff Dorrough (Formerly with The Tangents) George Allen (Played with Sassy Jones - Bass Player Extraordinare) and Morson "Mo" Emerson (Played with Bobby Rush) - Stan Street - Harp & Sax. George, Mo, Stan and I are also doing a 4-piece (Chick French & The Ticklers) and I'm doing a few solo acoustic gigs.
Why this name?
The name Chick is just a short form of "Chickenlips" that was laid on me many years ago.
Do you play live?
Yep, just started back after taking some years off to raise my boy. My most memoriable times were spent playing with Frank Frost and Sam Carr. They taught me more about what not to play than anyone I've ever worked with.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think the internet is a great chance for musicians regardless of their expertise to be heard and hear other musicians that otherwise they would never have the chance to hear.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Let me think about it.......
