R.I.P. Don Wright...Opposite Six, Don Wright & The Head Set, Nuclear Valdez 1948-2001

[Frantic]

Just got a phone call and took a major kick to the groin. My buddy Don Wright of I'll Be Gone (Opposite Six) fame died in July. Alec and I had lost track of him when he moved to L.A. a number of years back. I've had a cd of his 7ts punky band NUCLEAR VALDEZ (not that one) ready to go for years but couldn't find Don to finish it up. Looks like I'll have to get it out next year. R.I.P. buddy! https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/sacbee/name/donald-wright-obituary?id=14241885

I'm sorry to hear that Joey. I love "I'll Be Gone". It exudes classic 60s punk, especially the vocals.

It is a stone classic.

Sad news, but I look forward to hearing Nuclear Valdez!

Sorry to hear, Joey. ‘I’ll Be Gone’ is a personal favorite.

Yep, the other Nuclear Valdez took their name when they broke up.
