Today in rock history, Donald “Duck” Dunn was born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1941. Most well known for his work with Booker T and the MG's and as a session bassist for Stax Records, he also got considerable screen time as a member of the Blues Brothers Band, known for being “Tight as a fist and meaner than a junkyard dog.” He also had one of the most memorable lines in the 1980 Blues Brothers movie: “We had a band that could turn goat piss into gasoline.” As a gentleman farmer and owner of a couple goats, I could use that formula! At any rate, let's celebrate “Duck's” life by watching this vid of the Blues Brothers in action (sort of). Thanks to www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_%22Duck%22_Dunn for the info, keep on rockin', and have a safe and happy Turkey Day!
