The BEST session bassist in rock & roll history. Thankfully, he died in his sleep. If it's your time to go, that's the way to go for sure!

Yup. That dude was a heavy hitter. Listen to those old Otis Redding tunes and you'll hear it. RIP.

My grandfather died in his sleep, much to the dismay of his screaming passengers.

Oh, james you's a bad bad man... Funny, but bad. Oh, and tell your avatar to stop swinging his tallywacker at everyone. Bad form...

So glad I made a point of checking him out both this and last year - if even only for the day.


This video was made a year or two after the first time I'd attended the festival he'd created in honor of his son Merle.

Amazing man, no doubt. I like how he kicks it up to double time at about the 3 minute mark. Doc musta' been about 69 yrs. old back when this was filmed.

This year, I did notice he'd forgotten/stumbled over a few lyrics here or there...he was hittin' a few "dead" strokes inadvertently (where he either just wasn't getting a finger there in time, else not depressing the string hard enough)...though he still played multiple sets with various performers. I remember telling an old friend of mine (i hadn't seen since highschool, but ran into out there)as the sun was setting on Saturday Night - "I sure am glad to be here this year", it went unspoken, but we were both convinced Doc proh'lee didn't have too many more Merlefests left in him. Of course, a month ago I don't think any of us really saw this coming.

And Yes, for those of you who are not familiar with him - he lost his sight before his 1st birthday.
