RIP Duck Dunn

The legendary bassman passed in his sleep after a show in Tokyo. He will be remembered.

Gone to MG heaven, and maybe eventually even help Jake put the band back together.
RIP Duck.

Really sorry that he's now gone, too. Excellent musician, and perhaps one of the few who could touch James Jamerson in terms of talent, groove, and that rare combination of quality and quantity.

I must confess to not knowing much of his work, aside from "Green Onions".

A few choice YT clips would be appreciated. :D
