A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing.

 

My love of The Band is well known, and perhaps becoming annoying. Sorry, but imo there is The Band, and then there is every other self-contained (songwriting, singing, ensemble musicianship) Rock 'n' Roll combo. The maker of this video obviously agrees with my assessment.

Garth Hudson was The Band's oldest member, and is it's only surviving one. He is unlike any other musician I have ever heard, and The Band unlike any other combo. Their first two albums are both in my Top 10 albums of all time, and in terms of calibrating that fact, consider that my Top 10 contains not a single Beatles album.

Great thread… similar but rare are why i stick around this place.

Amy Helm….anything she has done..including her new album…. yes, a great time to be attending shows, buying and listening to music - new and old… and remembering those who are gone… I’ve got JJ Cale on the turntable…just now…. ah

and Rawlings / Welch headed my way…..
