I'll always remember Don as a terrific drummer, and for his beloved yellow Plymouth 340 Duster. We played in the band Lodestone together from 1971-74, and his rock-solid drumming was the glue that held the band together. He was so quiet and easygoing, that it was hard to believe he could play with such abandon when the show began. Kay, I'm so sorry for your loss, and I hope that these recollections will bring a smile to your face during this difficult time.
