In Memory of Rick Danko
Today is the anniversary of the death of Rick Danko, bassist for The Band. Rick died December 10, 1999. One of my favorite songs is The Band’s “It Makes no Difference” sung by Rick.

Thanks, Darwin, for this. I followed the link to the video, then spent the better part of last hour chain-watching more vids (and listening to the music) of The Band, with such guests as Eric Clapton and Neil Young. Took me back to a place and time, long before the grey hair, the wrinkled skin. and the aching body, when musicians worked hard, played hard, and made honest music. Great way to end a hectic week, with fond, though melancholy, memories.

Yes You Tube videos of great band performances can be addictive especially with a glass of wine and a stroll down non-wrinkled memory lane! d

My favorite song of all time is “The Weight”!

The Weight is right up there for me too! The Band is one of my top 10 favorites bands of all time. Darwin

Thanks for the blast from the past Darwin. The Last Waltz is probably in my All Time Top 5 Albums!
