RIP Donald Dunn
one of the greats of Electric Bass Playing , restraint + feel + great tone
played on some of the best records of all time, no exaggeration. His work with Otis Redding and Sam and Dave is fantastic and those slides really are pieces of art as much as popular culture.
he'll be missed.
I'm off to fire up the Precision to play along with some Atlantic / Stax soul goodness.

Booker T and the MGs are one of my absolute favourite bands.

Real shame. One of my favs for sure.
I climbed on the back of a giant albatross which flew through a crack in the cloud to a place where happiness reigned all year round and music played ever so loudly

AWWW Crap.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

So sad to hear. Top of my list of the best, too.

Aww quack! Love Booker T
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

RIP Duck
Hey have any of you guys seen the "Respect Yourself" doco on Stax? I picked up the dvd for $4 from the Warewhare a while back and its got 'stax' of cool old footage of Otis, Booker T & the MGs, Sam & Dave etc. As a movie it's not as good as 'Standing in the Shadows of Motown' but there's still some great footage and interviews. It really shows how ground/barrier breaking those guys were as a multi-racial outfit in 60s US. Happy to loan it if anyone hasn't seen it (as long as its a boomerang! )
