A great has died


Garth Hudson.  The last living member of The Band.

“Honey Boy” always made the music sweeter…..RIP

His sax solo on It Makes No Difference so expressive with sadness.

I met Levon Helm at the groundbreaking for Bethel Woods (site of Woodstock) back in the early 00s. Lovely person, he passed a decade ago? His wife still runs his semi-outdoor music venue, Levon Helms Studio. I’ve seen Richard Thompson, the Gypsy Kings, a few others there.

We are all getting old. 😢

RIP,Garth...only saw,him once with Ringos Allstars. They were different when I first heard the band back in 68.

May he rest in peace with his fabulous band mates!

That Lowry Festival is what set Garth’s organ work apart from all those Hammond B3 guys. There’s a little something different about the sound of that Lowry organ. Could it be a hint of calliope?
