He’s been dead for over a decade, just thought of him because of his association with James Burton, who was super-tight with Joe Osborn, who did just pass, and played on tons of records although no Memphis recordings I am aware of.

I saw a Marshall Crenshaw email note to Bob Lefsetz that mentioned bass player and one time guitarist Joe Osborn's death. His little obit didn't mention any Memphis work.

Yes, these guys had a Shreveport connection, not a Memphis connection.

Did Charles Lloyd play on any Stax releases? Saw a William Bell interview where he said they used to hang together.
