    RIP Robbie

    And then there was one. Garth Hudson is the last original member of The Band now, he's 85 and beenstuck in a senior home for a while now.

    Take a load off Fanny, Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny and You put the load right on me.

    RIP Robbie Robertson

    This sucks. As it ever was, I'll throw on the last waltz and crank it up. On dvd no less (dad, what's a dvd?)

    as to the dispute - venue is proper here as much of their music came from the Upstates, if we could figure out where that is. One great regret is I never made it to the barn while Levon was still alive and playing

    Levons Barn is about 2 hours from me and I never made it either. It was always like, " I'll get to it..." and I didn't

    Annie. Take a load off Annie.

    What a life. Plugging in with Dylan, riding it out with such an amazing group of musicians. Writing and performing tracks that define rock and roll. He was probably my least favorite member of the Band, but he was still a legend. I’ll give Music from Big Pink a spin in memory this week. Maybe even watch some of the Last Waltz. RIP RR.

    So you're saying Woodstock is an exclave of downstate? Because it's certainly surrounded by upstate.

    I'll be over that way next week and will be sure to oblige with sufficient photographic evidence. UC is usually available south and east of there at the Beer and Bike Shop in Highland so that parameter is met.

    I was a big fan, especially like Robertson's guitar playing (listen to him in Blond on Blond). Saw the Band once in Columbus OH, it was like listening to the record, for all I know they were lip synching. Off night?
