RIP Dan Hicks
Another sad day for music with the passing of Dan Hicks from the dreaded cancer. He was another bay area musician whose folksy music was well regarded. With the "Hot Licks", a couple of violin playing ladies, he would rock amny a venue. RIP, Dan, but your music remains with us.

Eff cancer.

2016 has not been a good year so far for musicians dying

Lots of legends dying and it is going to continue. Many of the rock stars are in their 60's and 70's, and that is when people tend to die, particularly those whose bodies lived a lifetime of college Saturday nights.

THIS JUST IN...
People will continue to die, especially as they grow older.

that someone would die that I never even heard of, or someone that I only new as an old person. At the time the dead were not a part of my life, that perhaps they were a mention in a history book. Well that was a while ago, and many passings ago; now the folks who are passing had an impact on my life . Robert Palmer's passing took me by surprise. George Harrison, Maurice Gibb. Of course now recently David Bowie.
Cha-cha-cha changes!
Nowadays, it's almost like I can hear a little gong in my soul, the sound of mortality, inevitability. Make your mark while you can, and appreciate the days you have left!
I looking at you, Detroit Lions!

Certainly not a musical heavyweight. Shouldn't be on this blog.

I feel like I'm a more than average music listener, especially of stuff from when this guy was active, but I've never heard of him. Sorry, but probably way OT. Bowie he was not.

Or at least be tolerant. You might like it.

listen to a variety of music, is my synopsis, or you are too young to have recognized this genre. There are some videos below. Please educate yourself.

Nobody ever been quite like Dan Hicks. Saw him in Austin on a road trip. Actually, I was seeing multiple Dan Hicks before that particular evening was over.

Nobody ever been quite like Dan Hicks, and most people have never heard of him.
He was also an important figure in the whole San Francisco rock scene, as he was a member of the Charlatans, who some consider the first San Fran hippie (for lack of a better term) band.
