 From his website:

My darling darling husband left this earth early this morning.
He was true blue, one of a kind, and did it all his own way always.
To all who loved him, know that he will live forever in the words, songs, and art that he spent his life creating. He worked so hard on each and every detail -- they are all pure Dan.

So, Duke, Benny, Django and Stephane -- he's on his way -- you'll be laughing soon!

Much love,

 One of my all time favorites. Where's the Money is great. A sad day indeed.

 I play his music a lot. Total drag. Rest in peace, Dan.

 The fourth 74 year old musician.
The last 2 were both born in December 1941.

I'm right on your heels, so don't stumble...

 

I hitchhiked to a town 30 miles away when I was in high school to buy his record after his appearance..., posted on February 6, 2016 at 16:48:12

 on the Tonight Show with the Hot Licks, an appearance that garnered a standing ovation from Doc Severinsen and the band. One of a kind!

 

Well, now we can miss him since he's gone away..., posted on February 6, 2016 at 16:52:44

 Gone but never forgotten, a great wit and constant source of fun
and joy amongst a generation of musicians that grew to take itself
pretty damn seriously.

RIP to an inspired and inspiring musician.

 This, indeed, is sad news. His kind of cool doesn't come around often. Just another reason to look forward to getting to the other side with him.

 Really?
I like his music, I worked with him a couple of times, little testy because he had recently stopped drinking.
Personally I'm not That eager to join him...

 

Yeah, being on THIS side with him certainly seems sufficient..., posted on February 6, 2016 at 21:25:34

 ESPECIALLY considering that the OTHER side lasts much, much, much, much longer.

Depending on who you talk with of course.

 Having just crossed the threshold for that year myself I've been aware of the number of musicians passing at 74.
