"Vinnie's Lookin Good" is a personal fave.

thanks

I can't believe he is gone. He was so full of life and energy.

Damn.

thank goodness for Keith Richards. We still have this Dan Hicks album.

Thanks for the post. I love that line of "How can I miss you when you won't go away?"

are nearing our expiration dates and so we're all expiring one after the other, in a steady stream. I'm afraid we'll just have to get used to it as the generations before us did. I can remember my parents getting glum over the passing of the pop stars of their youth.

As Laura Nyro wrote:

And when I die and when I'm gone,
there'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on.

Seem to be promoted on their looks rather than their voices. It used to be those with a good voice got the contract and they would try to make them look good on the album cover. Now it seems it is all about how they look and autotune to fix up their singing.

So few distinctive voices these days. I know I'm an old, but their used to be a time when you turned on the radio and heard a song and said "Oh, that's a new song by so and so", now they all sound so generic.

RIP Dan Hicks.

Hicks was a larger driving force behind San Francisco's music scene than he ever got credit for.

74 has become the new 27.

I'm still feeling bad about Maurice White.

he was one of my favorite artists, ever.

Wonderful musician and showman. His band was fantastic.

So... Dan Hicks went on playing after 1973, primarily with his band the Acoustic Warriors. He did use the
Hot Licks name again in 2000 and thereafter.

eat organic, fight against air pollution, filter your water. Do not buy "conventional" food grown with chemicals.

and god damned cancer again and in Mill Valley, Marin Co. being the cancer capital of the USA at one time not that long ago ...

RIP Dan Hicks!

For some, their first introduction to Dan Hicks was via Sesame Street. I present to you today, "The O Song", with music by Dan and animation by Ernie Fosselius.
