In loving memory of Dan "Bee" Spears

12/09/11

We are deeply saddened by the death of Family member Dan "Bee" Spears, long time friend and bassist for Willie Nelson and Family.

We are still in shock and gathering details as the day continues. He apparently died of accidental exposure at his property near Nashville, Tenn.

    Oh what a shock! My heart goes out to his family as well as Willie and all the Family Band. He was such a wonderful guy and great musician. He will be sorely missed by all.

    With deepest sympathies for Bee's family. No one else could play on 9/8 time. I was watching the live at Billy Bob's the other day, and he was so eager to tell his story...Willie, take due care, Mike in CA.
