Thanks for posting this Iceman.....Very Sad News indeed and condolences to 
his friends and family.

Duck played on an amazing double LP back in 69' called Fathers & Sons:

It's hard to believe that only the Producer Norman Dayron and Drummer Sam 
Lay are the only two living members from this landmark record!

a project at Chicago's Auditorium Theater and a subsequent recording session 
organized by record producer Norman Dayron, featuring Muddy Waters and 
backed by pianist Otis Spann, Paul Butterfield, Michael Bloomfield, Sam Lay, 
Donald "Duck" Dunn, and Buddy Miles, Jeff Karp on Chromatic Harp, which was 
recorded and portions released on Fathers And Sons on Chess Records.

This record is a must have for all serious Blues Harmonica Players and Blues 
Lovers and the playing by all is stellar!

PS... I had the honor and good fortune to work with Duck Dunn on occasion 
during my tenure for 7 yrs with the Original Blues Brothers band. He was a 
kind and generous soul with a great sense of humor.

also, check out his work with Butterfield on the RCO All Star records which 
was basically the Blues Bros Band but with Dr. John and Levon Helm whom we 
also just lost and levon played a little harp himself...check this out:

RIP Duck & Levon

Love & Peace,
Rob Paparozzi
