A great video about Garth Hudson.

……thank you bdp24 for this clip. I hope that I am staying somewhat on topic but I believe it was 1972 and I was at a friends house and she just bought the Band’s album with the brown front cover and a photo of The Band …..the name escapes me know . There were things going around as we listened to that album and for the life of me just couldn’t get into it or better yet ; I didn’t understand it . The years rolled by and picked up just to have in my library a few of their CD’s ( albums were not cool then ) I really started to listen to them and began to realize that those guys were really good musicians . I began to understand their music and my appreciation grew and still does . They were a point in time that will never be duplicated and maybe came on “ that scene “ a little too late during that time when the musical scene exploded . I sometimes remind myself that they were from Canada . I am thankful that my life gave me a second chance to enjoy them even until this day ……and Garth Hudson is last one standing. 

Correction ; back drop 

…….bdp24 thanks as I listened to The Band last evening .  “” Twilight “” in particular along with ; “‘ Don’t Do It “ . “ Twilight “ along with ; “ The Weight “ have probably been two songs that have been the back of my life .  They really were very special musicians . I actually have a Remo drum head signed by The Band and Bob Dylan from Before The Flood Tour that is encased and protected in a shadow box. These songs and talking about it brings me back to a special time in my life . I also realize that I am getting older and the music that I enjoy is also old but still very relevant at least to me . Time marches on ……

…….bpd24 I can’t listen to that song ; “ It makes no difference “”…….was one of the best in my opinion is one of the best love lost and still in love song’s ever written. I lived that song for years and lyrics are just so true and pure raw emotion. One of the best and sung by Danko ……pure magic.
