The Weight by The Band

We lost another Canadian Musician in Robbie Robertson, one of the greatest Guitarists in the world.  He was 80.

Probably every Canadian Guitarist has copied Robbie.

His fingers would just flow across the Fret board. He was amazing to watch.

As Lead Guitarist for ” The Band ” (Hawks) one of the top ten bands in the world. Four Canadians and one American.

Backup Vocals Rick Danko, Bass, Violin, Drums, Vocals, Songwriter Levon Helm Drums, Mandolin, Vocals, Songwriter Richard Manuel, Rhythm Guitar, Piano, Vocals, Songwriter Garth Hudson is the only surviving member. He is still active arranging songs for young Artists…especially Canadian artists.

When you think of the music the Band released…it is really a sad thought.
