Is this the lady that sang in Dan Hicks band?

[@deadcoroner]

I can't find that she was a member of the Hot Licks but Maria Muldaur and Dan did several collaborations together, so it's not impossible she sang with them at some point...?

Ty for this. I really needed it today❤

[@jimpowell6789]

Isn't that Bill Graham's voice working with monitors & mics crew? What's the background for the cracks about David Nictern (10:45), "a very RICH and talented composer," says somebody, and then BG (10:50) "... a very talented accountant, and a very talented scenariest"?

[@susiefairfield7218]

Nah that voice is not Bill Graham imho..not deep and resonous as Uncle BoBo

[@xneapolisx]

No way is that Bill

[@jimpowell6789]

@@xneapolisx I'll stick with my impression. I talked with BG on several occasions over many years, and there's recordings.

[@xneapolisx]

@@jimpowell6789 BG had a very pronounced NYC/Brooklyn accent, the man speaking at the time stamps does not.

[@jimpowell6789]

@@xneapolisx BG turned his accent up and down as occasion invited, the tone here is tongue and cheek. What interests me is the backstory.
