Yeah Bill, especially that of Richard Manuel, whose suicide brought me to tears. The only death of a musician I’ve cried about.
I was lucky, so to speak, to see The Band at the Columbus Agora the night, or two, before Manuel committed suicide. Maybe it was a week….cannot remember exactly. I was shocked when I heard the news, but knew then and there, there would never be another chance to see them again. Even without Robbie.
And, for me, that night, Garth was the highlight. Special person and musician.
