RIP T-Bone Wolk

[Chaser001]

I was saddened to learn that T-Bone Wolk passed away.  People mostly seem to remember him from Hall and Oates and SNL, but he did a lot of bass playing other than that, too.

Wow.  58 is too young to go.  Heart attack, no less.   Sad news.

I heard on the 12 o'clock news as my wife and I were heading to lunch.  Very sad news indeed!  Such a tasty bass player.  R.I.P.   



Check out the lick at 2:08 where he snaps his fingers.  I always loved that!  He really acknowledged Motown on this one.

wow that sucks!, I happen to be wearing my vintage h&O T-shirt today too.

>Whew< Thot it was T-bone WALKER there for a minute.
He's gotta live til at least Sat. to collect his oscar.
I really dug Crazy Heart.

A bud of mine is a huge H&O fan. He runs the Y&T site.
Guess I'll post this info for him over there...

all i know is he is still dead.

[Chaser001]

I am sure Rhythm n Bliss meant to say T-Bone Burnett.  T-Bone Walker died in 1975.

[Rhythm N. Bliss]

Yeah, yeah~ Burnett. Too many T-bones.
One less now to reduce the confusion.

"They call it Stormy Monday..."

My bud said Wolk was the H&O music director as well as being their bassist so he'll be sorely missed.

all i know is he is still dead.

Yeah that's probably right . I'm a big T Bone Walker fan, I should have known when he died.
How come there are so many T Bones and nobody went with Porter House or New York Strip

RIP T-Bone Wolk. A great musician. Never needed to be some pappy-whackin' technical uber goober. Soulful and talented did him just fine. One of my faves.
