One more from Đ®åⒻṬëŕṽøï's box of tapes received in trade in the 1990s.

This one has Mr. Dan Hicks reuniting with his classic Hot Licks line-up, featuring violin virtuoso Sid Page, and Lickettes Maryanne Price and Naomi Ruth Eisenberg, bass player Jaime Leopold, with John Girton (guitar) added to the line-up.

The last four songs were with his band at the time, The Acoustic Warriors. 

I actually met Ms. Eisenberg one afternoon over in the Sunset District at my drummer's apartment.  Yes, shameless name-dropping is not beneath me. 

I tracked down an article from the Austin American Statesman of September 26, 1991, and that's the lone piece o' junk in the Artwork file.

If you've never heard Dan Hicks, he's an interesting anomaly of the San Francisco ballroom scene.  He was in the Charlatans, the band that set-up the "San Francisco scene" with their residency at the Red Dog Inn in Virginia City, Nevada in 1965.  I made the "pilgrimage" to the Red Dog last summer for the first time. 

In terms of distance and time, it's as if Merseybeat started at Bournemouth in 1961.

Anyway...the Charlatans didn't amount to jack-squat, they're not really worth tracking down and listening to, but good for them for starting a "scene."  What's odd is that Dan Hicks was the drummer for the Charlatans...and his new band didn't have a drummer.
