Dicky Neely was born in 1947 in Marshall, Texas, a small town nestled in the Piney Woods of North East Texas. This is another part of the South that nurtured the blues.
Neely lived close enough to the tracks to hear that lonesome train whistle blowing as a young boy. Perhaps that helped lead him into a life time of loving the blues and playing harmonica and singing in many blues bands over the years.
His family moved west to San Angelo where his dad continued in the restaurant business.He went to junior high and high school here.
Another move took the family to South Texas and Neely attended Victoria College.
Neely found his way further south to Corpus Christi, on the Texas Gulf Coast and out to Santa Barbara in California. Here he found other passions, riding waves for 35 years and windsurfing for 20 years until an accident crippled his knees.
That hasn't stopped his blues passion and has not stopped his other main interests, reading, writing and cartooning.
Neely's first writing appeared in a local newspaper when he was in high school in 1964 and in the 80's he began writing for several wind surfing publications. He began working for the Coastal Bend Sun family of newspapers in the 90's and has contributed to many newspapers and magazines over the years. He also has contributed cartoons for many publications. He is online with a number of blogs.
