Drummer and songwriter, and Van Dyke Parks collaborator. Variety has an extensive obituary.
I heard Don play with Van Dyke in Chicago and St. Louis. So I can agree with Don’s Lone Justice bandmate Marvin Etzioni, quoted in Variety: “Like Ringo, he didn’t play drums, he played songs.”
The Los Angeles Times obituary has a great photo of DH and VDP. And here is Don Heffington’s website.

I didn't really know his name but he seems to have played on one or more records by just about every American performer I regularly listen to.
ReplyDeleteThe “Full Credits” page on his website is pretty staggering.
