A.k.a. Ugly Dick Drippin

Greg McConnell (September 12, 1964 – April 4, 1999) was a Canadian country & indie rock musician, who was a founding member of the alternative country bands The Absolute Whores (where he used the stage name "Ugly Dick Adonis"), Lost Dakotas and Stratochief (2). McConnell was famous for his cowhide-trimmed upright bass, which Steve Earle once described as looking "like Dwight Yoakam threw up on it". On Easter Sunday, 1999, McConnell died unexpectedly while on a camping trip in Tobermory, Ontario. In May of that year, a memorial "GregFest" was held at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern, featuring Stratochief, Jughead (2), Adam Faux and a one-off Whores reunion; funds raised from the show were used to dedicate a portion of the Trans-Canada Trail in Caledon to McConnell's memory.
