brownie Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 This would be more sad news! We've had enough of those notices recently... Too many bass players gone away these past few months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul Stream Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Sad news. Heaven's getting a lot of great bass players up there as of late. And NO, you can't have Richard Davis yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I was listening to Nat Adderley's Work Song this afternoon - Keter Betts plays on half of the tunes. Then to come on Board and see this. Too many deaths. Rest in peace, Mr. Betts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Heard about this on NPR this morning while driving into work. You can hear the audio file here. (There's also a link to an earlier story on Betts.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
