Duck Dunn Dead no one said ?

[deepbass5]

I have been on here every day and only just heard that Duck died on Sunday.






The bass community grieves the loss of another one of its greats. Donald “Duck” Dunn, member of the legendary Booker T and the MCGs died Sunday night in his sleep. He was 70-years-old.
While initially his parents did not see a future as a musician for their son, Donald, a self-taught bassist, put together a vast and impressive career. He was overseas in Tokyo, Japan, playing bass on a tour with his long-time musical companion Steve Cropper, having played a double set that night at the Blue Note Night club.
Along with Booker T. and the MCGs Dunn helped define what came to be known as the Memphis soul sound.
As a session bassist, Dunn worked with the best of them through his career, from Eric Clapton to Bob Dylan to Neil Young, and in 2007 he was awarded a lifetime achievement Grammy for his great contributions to music
