I love the Dead, Airplane, and other SF bands, but Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks at The Boarding House in 1972 was just a crazy night. I had only been 21 a couple of months.
The album cover photo was taken on Main dock in Sausalito, CA with MT. Tamalpais in the background wich can be seen by raising the top of the cover. It was a bohemian lifestyle with the likes of Shel Silerstein and Alan Watts a couple of docks south. While others and myself worked on Dan's houseboat Dan would usually bring us a sixpack and put on a stack of records. One day Dr. Hook and the Medicine SHow performed live on the Main dock. Cool stuff when you're 19.
These people are all wonderful musicians and singers, Dan Hicks is a very clever and funny songwriter. They should really be more well known than they ever were. Whenever I play Dan for someone who has never heard of them they are impressed.
