    Garth Hudson "The Band"

    Last surviving member of the Band. I loved the Band. I hate that I never actually was able to see them.

    I'm a big fan of The Band.
    Many years ago I read the Garth had a deal with the other members of The Band that they had to pay him something like $10 per month to act as their "Music Instructor".
    Seems that Garth's parents had spent a lot of money sending him to school to study music.
    When he joined The Band, he didn't want to tell his folks that with his expensive education he had joined a rock & roll band, so he told them he had found work as a music instructor.

    The end of era, the music of my life. When music was music! RIP Garth.
    Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.
