Another one gone. RIP Dan Hicks
Dan Hicks, San Francisco Folk Jazz Pioneer, Dead at 74 | Art Wire | KQED Arts
Dan Hicks, the wildly creative San Francisco singer-songwriter who, with his group Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, had hits in the 1970s such as “I Scare Myself” and “Canned Music,” died Saturday after a two-year battle with cancer, according to his website. He was 74. I saw him in a small local club about two years ago...put on one helluva show.

74? Wow, I had no idea. What the hell, you're 70 now...can't be all that "Wow", Don.
BTW, it's "...His Hot Licks." ...not The Hot Licks. He hung around San Francisco Bay Area quite a bit...saw him twice. He always seemed to attract high quality musicians and put out a smooth, swinging sound. If you like Manhattan Transfer & The Squirrel Nut Zippers you'll like Dan Hicks. Here's Sid Page on violin and many others DH employed over his years. One cool tune - "I Scare Myself". RIP ............ ~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~ . Where's The Money? (Full Album) .

Good sounding stings on Jorma's guitar.

Wow. RIP Dan. He had great lyrics and a gyspy guitar sound. My favorites were "How can I miss you when you won't go away." and "Evening Breeze". Going to miss him.
Bill

Always a fun, lively show. Saw him a few times around Reno/Tahoe in the late 70s. Bon voyage, Dan.
