paul_5 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I remember being 17 and at the tail end of my 'thrash metal' phase, mainly because I'd just bought a bass and chugging on an open e string wasn't all that great for me. I ordered a soul music compilation cd froths Britannia music club (my dad was a member) and set about learning to play the entire cd. The scales fell from my eyes and a whole new world opened up for me, turns our most of the playing was our dear departed Ducky Dunn. Great lines and a great musical education. I've been playing that cd a lot today. Quote
lee4 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I have to say that this sad news has really pi**ed me off. Another wonderful musician gone. Quote

Mr Fudge Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Saw him with Neil Young in '93. All Neil gigs are memorable but Dunn was a legend. R.I.P Quote
MB1 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 MB1. Sad News indeed! a great talent and portfolio of work. Rest in Peace Mr Dunn. Quote
