January 21Jan 21 Damn, he was the last one. RIP What really blows me away is that they formed in 1957. Wow.

January 21Jan 21 RIP Garth. That accordion on Atlantic CIty gets me every time. Edited January 21Jan 21 by dcbc
January 22Jan 22 We all know that Woodstock isn’t close to where the Woodstock concert was held, right? It’s about an hour and a half away. Also, i will now Google the guy, because no one ‘splained-me who he was. R.I.P. UPDATE: Quote Eric Garth Hudson CM (August 2, 1937 – January 21, 2025) was a Canadian multi-instrumentalist best known as the keyboardist and occasional saxophonist for the rock group the Band, for which he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. He was a principal architect of the group's sound and was described as "the most brilliant organist in the rock world"[1][2] by Keyboardmagazine. Hudson was the last living original member of the Band.[3] -from Wikipedia Edited January 22Jan 22 by Napoleon

January 22Jan 22 Always loved the tidbit about how Garth was paid an extra ten bucks a week to teach music to his fellow band mates when he first joined the Hawks. I guess so he could tell his parents that his formal music education wasn't going to waste.

It's 7 miles from where most of The Band lived in West Saugerties while recording Music From Big Pink.
