Booker T was just on Letterman sitting in with the band, playing Booker T and the MG songs going into breaks.

This is sad, sad news.

Just heard about this. One of the best. RIP Duck.

RIP Donald

thanks to "sweet charmed life" on rocksoff (same as our SCL?) for the text of steve
cropper's statement. steve was right there. heartbreaking.

"Today I lost my best friend, the World has lost the best guy and bass player to
ever live. Duck Dunn died in his sleep Sunday morning May 13 in Tokyo Japan after
finishing 2 shows at the Blue Note Night Club."

One day we'll watch "The Blues Brothers" and we'll whisper "God they're ALL dead"

In memoriam RIP Donald

Really saddened about Duck's demise.

I love the MGs, and am always moaning that, like McElmore Avenue, Concord should reissue Melting Pot with extra tracks. The MGs toured circa 1970, and footage exists of Creedence watching them do Time Is Tight.

I love Duck's bass on Green Onions, recorded live in 1967 at Paris: it knocks Lewie Steinberg into a cocked hat.

Really sad news. Roll on in heaven, Duck.

Keep on rollin'

Blues Brothers 2000 was on an obscure late night channel the other night -- not the best movie or close to the original but fun with some great musical numbers. Anyway, the comment about them all dying -- I'm glad they got to do it one more time in the flick, even just for themselves. Dunn should be brought up in any discussion of greats of the electric bass. Watch Otis at Monterrey -- he's practically punk rock!

He's in the pocket with Al Jackson, Jr. as we speak....

He's in my top 3 for favorite bass players, fly on, R.I.P.
