Steve Koch reports from Arkansas about the legendary musician Dan Hicks:

Dan Hicks was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, but his family moved to Santa Rosa, California when he was five.

Hicks spent most of his life in northern California, where he honed his chops and became a ground breaking folk jazz bandleader.

On the verge of making it big in the 1970s, Hicks tired of leading a band and dropped out of the public eye before making a comeback 15 years later.
