RIP Rick Danko - Dec.10, 1999


Prost

Recommended Posts

I met Rick at a Hawks show when I was in high school. I got a chance to talk to him for a little bit, but our conversation got cut off when a brawl broke out in the bar.

Much later when I was touring in a band, we played at the Red Dog in Peterborough and I met a young guitar player from Arkansas who was visiting Ronnie Hawkins. He told me the story that he was told about Ricks final days. He basically came home from a tour of Japan and parties for many days straight at Hawkins' house and the years of abuse caught up with him.

I'm a huge fan - RIP Rick!

FUCK! I can't believe the 10th came and went and I didn't think of Rick once. Thanks for posting all of the great stuff guys.

For pure Rick I'll take Ferdinand The Imposter any day. I think that song says a lot of things but also a lot of things about Rick.
