Don Hatcher - bassist with Bettye LaVette & The Fun Company/100 Proof

[imnokid]

Bettye and I were talking about Don. No one seems to know what happened to him. A Wiki entry on 100 Proof has him deceased in 2005.
I googled the hell out of him and all I could find was that he owes Stubass some money. That was from a thread on here in 2003.

Anybody have any info on him?

Any relation to the other 'soul related' Hatcher's ??

I had mentioned your post from 2003 to bettye. She said that didn't sound like something Don would do. When did that happen?

Then I'd welcome Bettye to come up with the 200 bucks he owes me LOL...$250.00 for a Fender Jazz bass was pretty cheap. I took 50 bucks down as a favor because he told me he had a gig he needed it for. Always seemed like a cool guy to me, so I helped him out. Never heard from him again. seemed like a lot of money then...but all in all...a pretty cheap learning experience...Still, as I said...Don was a pretty nice guy, if not a great credit risk lol...

Stu-hahahaha

what year was this? None of the local cats know what happened to him?

I guess erly-mid 70's...maybe 74 when Don used to come to my place and jam...

Hello All,

It's been 10 years since you all have posted, but I was looking to talk with anyone who knew Don Hatcher. Hope to hear from you all soon!
