My personal play list is chock full of songs he was involved with.
May he finally rest in peace.

From the SynAudCon facebook page:

Audio Pioneer Don Davis, founder of SynAudCon dies at 94.

Don and his wife Carolyn Davis founded Synergetic Audio Concepts, later referred to as SynAudCon in 1973. For 23 years Don and Carolyn created the synergetic foundation that educated and trained more than 10,000 sound contractors, designers, and consultants from around the world. They literally changed lives. SynAudCon was acquired by Pat and Brenda Brown in 1995 and is still training contractors, designers, and consultants from around the world.

Through the company philosophy, he taught that knowledge should be shared.  He also stressed the importance of understanding the fundamentals very well.
Don and Carolyn wrote or were a contributing author on 10 books. He is best known for Sound System Engineering 1st edition.  Many referred to it as the “audio bible."
Don and Carolyn were AES Fellows, received the Sagamore of the Wabash award, and the Adele De Berri Pioneer Award.

The love of Don's life was his wife Carolyn Davis. Together they enjoyed SynAudCon, their many pets, traveling, fast cars, target shooting, and their farm.
Don will be remembered as a learner, teacher, listener, trend setter, audio sage and great story teller. He was highly respected among his friends and colleagues.

To Pat and I, Don was a dear friend who inspired us in so many ways.

That song is awesome for two reasons, the drum solo and the bass solo, by Herbie Flowers.

Attributed to Don:  'if bad sound were fatal, audio would a leading cause of death."  He must have had good sound, living to 94. :)

Sound System Engineering by Carolyn Davis and Don Davis was a very, very huge help in my learning about audio systems. He'll be tuning Heaven so it will sound great when we get there.
