Sad news to report, and which I just learned of minutes ago.
Van Conner, the bassist and song writer of legendary Seattle band the Screaming Trees has died. He was just 55.
This death comes not quite a year after the death of former Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan last February.
Found out about it via Facebook, on Gary Lee Conner's Facebook page. Here is what he wrote in tribute to his brother, close friend, and of course, former bandmate.
