RIP - Bill Mallory - former bass player in The Shitdogs and long-time employee of Leisure Landing Record Store. He passed away last night
(4/3/08) of a heart attack in Ft. Walton, FL. Peace to him.

Comes as sad news, I was just talking about him last night. Bill will be missed. We will post info as we get it.

That is truly sad news. Bill was such a great guy... one of the funniest people at KLSU when you were just sitting around shooting the shit.

This is terrible news ! Bill gave me a lot of good memories. Many of us will miss his talent.

This reminds me to dump the bs and live more in the moment.

Condolences from my family to his family.
