Mac Rebenack known to his fans as Dr. John (after his impersonation of the fictitious Dr John the Night Tripper persona ), a true New Orleans music legend, died aged 77 of a heart attack on 6 June 2019.
"À re'oir"(Goodbye) Malcolm John Rebennack Jr. and thanks for the music! You'll hopefully jamming with all the other greats up there in Nola heaven. RIP! Here are some of the so many great shows he performed over the years since I discovered Mac in the mid seventies.
If you wish to know more about the man I recommend his infectious autobiography:
