    What a shame! Ha, I saw a guy play one time that used to get checks sent to him because HIS name is Don Dunn. He said, "There is no way I am making that much money!" :lol:

    Still not a lot of details on how he died, other than he died in his sleep, and was alone. I guess they added that last part to ensure nobody thought he died with a groupie or something.

    Bummer. I saw him with Neil a few times. He had some talent.
