I know there are a few "Muso's" on the site it has been announced that one of the most influential and accomplished Piano players of all time, Dr John , has sadly passed away aged 77 . A great stalwart of the New Orleans scene and a fabulous piano player it's another great who has sadly passed away, though his music like that of Professor Longhair and the wonderful Allen Toussaint will live on .

He was a one time member of the Wrecking Crew, a group of session musicians who played on some of the greatest records ever released and are up there with the Funk Brothers[Motown house band] and Booker T and the MG's [Stax house band] but it's his solo stuff that will be remembered .Mac Rebennack will be sadly missed.
