Donald 'Duck' Dunn's Quiet, Sweeping Influence

From wiki:
"Murphy has been less active since he suffered a stroke on stage while performing in Nashville in 2003 — he finished his set performing with one hand. A benefit was mounted by notable musicians of Memphis and Nashville. Murphy now resides in Miami, Florida. He has been playing in Florida with two young proteges Tim O'Donnell and Darrell Raines, and performed with his nephew Floyd in the Florida Keys during 2009.

He has been on the comeback trail with a reunion performance with James Cotton at the 2010 Chicago Blues Festival. A September 2011 release took place of a 1986 live recording from the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia. Patton Biddle recorded the show live, and Floyd Murphy Jr, Matt's nephew, played the drums along with Howard Eldride on vocals."

Do you remember in the Blues Brothers movie that Lou Marini worked in the kitchen at Matt Murphy and his wife's (Aretha Franklin) diner?

Indeed I do, through a hazy memory of seeing an Animal House/Blues Brothers double feature at a drive-in, in which my friends got the bright idea (from the cowboy bar scene in the Blues Brothers) that throwing their empty beer bottles into the back seat of my car and hearing them shatter was cool.

Marini was also in the house band on the once-great Saturday Night Live. He kicked ass then. Hopefully he still does.

The name of the cowboy bar was "Bob's Country Bunker".

Classic! What's funny is that even after they start playing music that the people like, the people still throw beer bottles at the stage.
