    RIP- Donald "Duck" Dunn. :(

    Legendary-bassist-donald-duck-dunn-passes-away-at-age-70

    Living and playing around the Mississippi Delta for so long made his bass lines required reading for myself and loads of other Roadhouse flunky bottom feeders.

    You did good Duck. Rest in Peace knowing you left a legacy of soulful lines in your wake.

    And to think musicians of his caliber are being replaced by the current crop of Whitney/Britney/Spitney clones... :roll:

    He was also the bassist in the group they put together for the movie The Blues Brothers. Perhaps one of his lesser accomplishments but still the one he's best known for among those who are not big fans of blues and R&B.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
