Another Louisiana legend is gone, Dale Hawkins. He was a close friend of Dean Mathis and James Burton and many of my other friends. His brother Jerry is my friend, and another brother, Ronnie is also a famous artist. I guess our age is starting to show around this area.

What a full life! Less than a year ago, playing with James Burton?

He made his mark in American music and was evidently a good guy on top of that.

A life to be celebrated!

He will be sorely missed. Thanks for letting us know. Hope you are recovering nicely from your recent scare... and all the work associated with the "JAM-What-Am!"

I remember seeing him perform at a local dance when I was a young teen in Shreveport. His “Suzy-Q had just been released and was hot. He rocked the place!
