Duck Dunn has passed

[oerk]

:-(

The bassist who had the biggest influence on my playing.

I'm seriously in tears right now.

RIP Duck.

I did a search from the Android app, and five of the first six results were threads about his passing.

I just wanted to come back with a link that I thought was pretty cool for those of us who haven't heard the man talk.

Prayers and blessings to the Dunn family as Duck Dunn passed away today in Japan.

Sad news. He is immortalized in his music, which will live on. One of the original guys who laid the foundation for many songs of our lives. In my view, he also helped chart the way forward for the electric bass. Prayers and blessings indeed, Mr Dunn, and THANK YOU

I had the pleasure of seeing him play live! Twice with cs&n and once with csn&y! One great bass player!

RIP Duck. You were a huge influence on my playing. The best "in the pocket" player I've ever heard.

Took a sec to sign up - email confimation - totally worth it.

It's a good interview - He's talking about some very happy times. Very down to earth. He's as cool as his playing.

Here's to The Duck! (intro to time is tight in backround ).

Just heard about this. Truly a legend, and a very sad day.

Surprised no one has posted this link to one of my absolute favorite lines from him. IMO, the definition of perfection:

I ordered a Duck Dunn signature Lakland just a couple of weeks ago. I can't believe he is gone!
