Not training related

This has nothing to do with strength training but it sucks.
The music industry lost an all time great. Donald "duck" Dunn passed away this week.
You probably never heard of him, but you have heard him. .
He was one of my greatest influences as a youth when I had aspirations to be a musician. Duck is one of the best bass players that ever lived.

He was well known in the music industry as a session player with his partner, Steve the Colonel Cropper.
They played in many bands, including Booker T and the MG's, and the Blues Brothers.
They also played on more records (kids don't know what records are) than you can imagine.
This has to be one of the biggest losses I can remember, along with SRV and Jimi.
A great talent is gone.
Go on Amazon and find some of his stuff, if you like the blues, you'll love his work.
