Bman's Blues Report

This morning February 25th 2013, "Dangerous" Dan Toler lost his long battle against "ALS, Lou Gehrig's Disease".  Dan passed away peacefully at he and his wife's home in Sarasota Florida. Our thoughts go out to Dan's family at this sad time. Dan Toler gave us the greatest music memories of our generation while playing with bands like Capricorn Record's "Allman Brothers Band", King Mojo Record's "TGC", the Dicky Betts band and the Gregg Allman band. Rest in peace brother.                  Dan Toler         Copyright © 2004-2013 King Mojo Records & Entertainment , Copyright © 2004-2013 Cotton States Music , BMI, Dick Wooley Associates
