Sad... But also nice after ten shows in five days. Cropper's tweet is very nice. Duck Dunn is a real hero!!! RIP.

I'm glad he was able to keep doing what he loved 'til the end, but I'm still sorry for his family and friends.

RIP

One of my all-time favorite bass lines, and songs to play, was one of his.

I had the privilege to meet him in Chicago after the Raising The Bottom concert. He was a true gentleman and very nice guy. He loved golfing!

He will be missed

GREAT bassist!

Anyone can play LOTS of notes. It is way harder to play in the "less is more" school of thought
and simply just play the RIGHT notes, where the bass part ends up a memorable hook.
