Garth Hudson, what a life. The last man standing from The Band, and a crucial reason why the world fell in love with their musical brotherhood.
I wrote (a lot) about why we dream about The Band, and why Garth was the glue guy holding it all together.

RIP Garth Hudson, The Band‘s last living member has died aged 87 🌹
"We called Garth “H.B.” among ourselves. This stood for “Honey Boy,” because at the end of the day, after the other instruments were put away, Garth was still in the studio sweetening the tracks, stacking up those chords, putting on brass, woodwinds, whatever was needed to make that music sing. Garth made us sound like we did." - Levon Helm

RIP Robbie Robertson of the Band. If you haven’t seen the Last Waltz, make a point to do so. Wonderful film and Robbie’s interviews and performances were very memorable. Here he is trading licks with Eric Clapton in that 🎥
