Bummer, an all-time great band. And his son, Derek Trucks, ain't bad either. RIP Butch. Say howdy to Skydog. If you've got funk, you've got style. | |

Yeah I read that. My heart goes out to his wife and family. They said the call she made to 911 that she was so emotional she could barely form sentences but managed to get out the basic info needed to dispatch medics and such....sigh...suicide is never the right answer...it is a permanent fix for a temporary crisis usually....
