Name: John 'Little Johnnie' Dickie    Astrological Sign: cancer- 'cancer shmancer as long as you've got your health.'       Instrument: played-lead vocal, which is like lead guitar only it's like vocals, also guitar, mandolin, harmonica and piano.       Past musical Tribes: John and the Sisters (which is also a current tribe), The Prima Donnas, The Cameos, Mondo Combo and Piledriver back in the 70's.       Hallmark musical moment: sharing stages with all the greats over the years, like Albert Collins, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Dr. John, Holly Cole, n' The Neville Bros. Also interviewing people like Oscar Peterson and Buddy Guy on all night talk radio, and never having to compromise my deal...musically.       First Became A Hippie: the first time I heard the legendary Buffalo New York dj, George 'Hound Dog' Lorenz broadcasting his R n' B show from the bon ton in Buffalo live, all those fuzzy years ago.      

Favorite Organic sound: ten minutes after I wake up in the morning and I realize that all my organs are still working. Future Hippie Plans: write and record some more hippie music...play some hippie gigs...look after my family and friends...buy a hippie bus...drive out to the hippie desert...find a hippie commune... drop off Hughie n' Gordie...then keep on goin'. Peace man. -j.d

LIVINBLUES CD REVIEW by Gary Tate/ - Who cares about such details as to why they call themselves The Mississippi Hippies, especially when you're getting an adrenalin rush from their explosive carnival of 'rock-em/sock-em' revivalism. These musical Canadian veterans, by way of Toronto, have souls firmly immersed in the rich Delta soil that cultivated the likes of Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, and Bo Diddley...read more!
