Absolutely the tightest, swingingest band I have EVER heard perform.
Ave atque vale, Dan......
I would have loved to see Dan with the Hot Licks. As it was, I only saw him on stage once, in the late 70s sometime, and I was disappointed. He was opening for some other act (don’t even remember who; I was more interested in seeing Hicks), and performed solo. Appeared to be fairly drunk, too.
Oh well. I only have one of his albums these days, but I still listen to it from time to time.
