In Memoriam, Happy Birthday / RIP Dan Hicks, 74

The leader of Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks and original member of the Charlatans was 74. No news items have appeared that I can find so far, but his website confirms his passing.

The roll of the dead continues. I guess there are just a lot of musicians in that age group and the actuarial curve is catching up with them. Still, these weekly passings are kind of unsettling. Is this part of the aging process, seeing your heroes and admired artists all fall away?

You'll have to let me know. I have a 10am meeting, so whatever it is, I shall miss it.

eek: '97.
