Lifetime Achievement Award in Mississippi

Rickey Medlocke was honored to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award in Mississippi a few weeks ago.

A music award ceremony honoring Mississippi musicians drew a record crowd at this year’s event.
Mississippi Music Foundation founder Peter Whitham said over 400 people paid to attend the 2023 Mississippi Music Awards show, which was held last weekend at the Landers Center.
“We had a huge crowd,” Whitham said. “Last time we held it, which was two years ago, we filled the theater at the Landers Center which seats 300.”

The show featured over 40 musical acts who performed live on stage. Presenters handed out awards in a number of categories and musical genres recognizing homegrown talent in areas ranging from the blues to alternative rock. Musical celebrities Steve Azar, Jeannie Seely, and Ricky Medlocke were given Lifetime Achievement Awards.

I have been trying to figure out if Rickey lives in MS or FL. I saw the commendation from the MS legislature and now this award, but I'm still confused. I've heard lots of conflicting rumors, so where does he call home?
