What an unspeakable loss.
Dan was one of the loveliest, most knowledgeable people I ever encountered in the music world - and a wonderful singer, as well.
So educated, Dan managed to be incredibly scholarly without being in the least bit stuffy. A true gentleman, and I do not use that word lightly.
When Alice and I would see him (and Bonnie) at a session or performance, whether in person or online, we knew we were in for a treat. Seeing them was always a pleasure.
Alice knew him far longer than I did and she related a couple of stories of how kind and understanding he was - someone who could keep his head when many others were losing theirs.
