Well, I have to say that even though he was a very outspoken member here and on other Surf Forums, that I didn't often agree with that I am sad to hear this. Jeff(bigtikidude) |

That's very kind of you, Jeff. You're a swell guy. I saw his craigslist ads up FOREVER as he was trying to get LBR going again and felt not what I'd call sorry for him, but more like- thankfully that's not us! But also, yeah, sorry for someone who loved surf so much, of course. www.jetpackband.com Last edited: May 02, 2016 21:18:10 |

I hope Bruce is at peace. Early in my career as a surf guitarist he was very supportive and it meant a lot to me at the time. —Danny Snyder Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

I guess the hyperlink was too obscure. His Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/bruce.duncan.182 People are leaving condolences. As Jeff said, Bruce's daughter, Sara, announced her dad's passing. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. |

Fir those unable to read Sara's post, here it is: This weekend has been an emotional, heart-breaking blur. My dad, my first love Bruce Duncan suddenly, unexpectedly passed away on Friday. He was a talented musician, recognized (along with his band Longboard Ranch) as one of the top classic surf musicians of all time. My dad shared his love for music with me; he would perform various oldies for me and I was his #1 fan. I know almost every oldie because of my dad. He was intelligent; he strongly valued education and inspired me to want to learn and to be creative. No matter what my dreams were, he supported me. He was never afraid to be honest and genuine. Though he didn't always make the best choices, he remained optimistic, loving, and adaptable. I will love and miss you forever. Losing your father is like losing a part of you that you can never get back. It was accompanied by this photo montage.

Wow. Sad news. If it wasn't for Bruce, and (LBR), I never would have hooked up with Rob Woolsey. Rob played with LBR for a while. Cheers my friend. RIP —Be careful following the masses. Sometimes the "M" is silent........................... |
