Darel Decounter

Post by Joey Ace »

Darel Decounter, of White House, TN, who owned and operated DeCo Productions passed away this morning.

Darel was a longtime studio and touring musician, on keyboards. He's done much work with John Anderson, among others.

Darel recently produced a song written by my friend Neil Cotton. Neil received an MP3 of the song today, hours before Darel's passing.

RIP Big Guy.

Joey, Darrell and I grew up together, his brother and mine all played and jammed together all of our kid lives. Grover Decounter called my dad and told him, I was floored as was my whole family. He will be missed and rested peacefully.
I would like to know just what happened, 52 is way to young to pass on.
Thanks for posting this, I would have. Darrell was a great musician and a better friend. He will be missed.

Roger,
Here's his web site
http://www.decodemos.com/

It hasn't been updated since his passing. There's a lot of cool photos, from his musical journey.

I don't have any info concerning his passing.

Yes, far too young.
