I just heard myself. He was writing and playing until the last. His
last couple of CDs has his daughter playing and singing along with
him. Gonna miss that boy.

Yep, I made a little gut noise when I read that headline. Made my wife
say "What is it?" Same one I made about Pete. Good guys gone for good
makes you feel bad. Well, it makes me feel bad.

I saw the Band twice - at Dylan's 1974 "Before the Flood" tour, and at
the Last Waltz. He was a great drummer and a great singer.

I read a great line this morning on another site.

"Note to God: You should never have taken the very best".

RIP to a great musician and from all accounts a great man.
