Mac Rebennack was born in 1941. Dr. John was born in 1967. What happened in between would color his whole musical career. blog.ponderosastomp.com/2019/06/mac-re…

The Stomp was devastated by the loss of longtime Stomp family member, Lil Buck Sinegal. Buck was an integral part of our concerts since the very beginning. Our deepest condolences to his friends & family. See message from Dr Ike on FB: tinyurl.com/y6rpk6ps

RIP Dave. Besides helping create rock n roll (see video) he supported so many people. Watching him conduct a rehearsal was one of the most intense musical experiences of my life. He made every musician in the room give everything they had, start to finish. youtu.be/T8DtD10UYCc
