Vale Mac "Dr John" Rebbenack

I suppose there was a time before Dr John. But I don't remember it - and I never thought I'd have to think of a future without his magical music.

From titty-shaking RnB, to swampy Louisiana soul, Mac did it all with his own style. Truly great music man that made our lives better, and fear not p4s we will never have to be without his magic.

R.I.P.

I don't think Dr John features

[roar]

Ha ha ha. I bet he wished he featured.

Very sad. A legend. My older brother who plays a mean piano put me onto Dr John more than 40 years ago. Brilliant pianist.

It's goodnight Irene.

Just watch and copy. It's easy.

We lost the great Rocky Erikson this week, too. The tragic genius that wrote the all time classic, Thirteenth Floor Elevators song, You're Gonna Miss Me.

Both were into voodoo and the occult so who knows, we may still hear from them

Best cover of a Donovan song, since the Allman Brothers recorded "Mountain Jam" and Judy Collins recorded "Sunny Goodge Street":
