Where’s the Money?
To say hello & evenin’ I’ll go
Last Train blew my mind when it came out - I had heard nothing like it.
RIP, Dan
So sad, hubby will be bereft over this. We saw him several times, most recently in a little club in a little town in NY, right across the border from Jersey. Always great.
RIP Dan Hicks, you will be missed.
RIP.
He didn’t get the attention that he deserved.
RIP.
He didn’t get the attention that he deserved.
Have several of his albums and saw him live at City Hall in Newburyport MA some years back
How Can I Miss You...
The Diplomat (covered by Maria Muldaur)
Piano Has Been Drinking (Tom Waits cover)
My Cello
etc
At one point on Live and Lickin’ he sings, to the tune of Don’t Get Around Much Anymore:
Missed the toilet last night
Went all over the floor
Cleaned it up with my toothbrush
Don’t brush my teeth much anymore
During the live version of How Can I Miss You:
Now I gotta admit, I’ve seen fire and I seen rain
(How can I miss you when you won’t go away)
I’ve seen fire
(been tellin’ you, day after day)
I’ve seen rain
Two songs for the price of one, ladies and gentlemen...
I got to see him years & years ago, when visiting a friend who lived in the SF area. He had an interesting sense of humor.
RIP.
Absolutely the tightest, swingingest band I have EVER heard perform.
Ave atque vale, Dan......

College kids do “My Olde Timey Baby”, I thought that was really good, I thought he always came off a bit like a Vaudeville act would have looked. Like a 1930s act.
“The home of happy feat” is another good song, unsure of the exact title.
