We’re one big ol’ soul short today. Dr. John passes at age 77 from an apparent heart attack.
Godspeed, Mac.
I’ve saw him a couple of times over the last 20 years, he seemed old decades ago. Surprised he was only 77. Seems like a good youtube thread to head down today.
didn’t know about him but never too late to discover new artists. They played some of his songs last night, voodoo queen and some others.

Big loss, I used to see him frequently at The Maple Leaf uptown during the 80’s. He seamed really old then and I was surprised he was only 77. RIP
Huge talent
FRI i went to begin the process of my commemorative tattoo from my tours in Afghanistan (thanks to JSA for the off line counsel). They were playing Dr John non-stop the whole three hours of my first session. Love his talent but three hours non-stop was a bit much.
