Rest In Peace, Robert Hunter

Such a sad day today, September 24, 2019 when Bob Hunter left the planet. Fuck is all I can say.











 Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast I love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Walking in Jerusalem just like John (bid you goodnight, goodnight) I remember right well, I remember right well (bid you goodnight, goodnight) His rod and his staff shall comfort me (bid you goodnight, goodnight) Tell "A" for the ark, that wonderful boat (bid you goodnight, goodnight) Tell "B" for the beast at the ending of the wood (bid you goodnight, goodnight) Well it eat all the children that would not be good (bid you goodnight, goodnight) I'm walking in Jerusalem just like John (bid you goodnight, goodnight)

Donna Jean Returns: Bonnaroo 2016


Download Here or Watch below: Cool that Donna Jean sat in.  I thought it was David Gans, who recently spoke about Donna Jean to the Alabama Hall of Fame ceremony was the guy who put DJ back with the guys (for the first time at a public performance since February 1979?) but he says no way dude
