Robbie Robertson has apparently died. Rest in peace.

This wasn't the first The Band song I ever heard but was the first that made an impact. This version indeed:

So Garth Hudson is the last man standing.

What the Fvck? Losing Danko was tough on me. Now Robbie? I so wish it was 1976 again.

There's something cool about "an orange cat named Hank" that just jumps out. I think there's a funny country song in there somewhere. Country Punk, maybe? Can that be a thing?

It may strike some as heresy, but I think Son Volt’s first album, Trace, was their best and they haven’t equaled it yet. Nor has Jay on his solo albums.

I know. But I like them all. That said, this is and will always be one of my favorites.

There's a good call.

Just saw them play that album in its entirety as well as their tribute to Doug Sahm at Levon Helm Studio. It was a fantastic show.

I last saw them in 2019 touring Union. Such a great night.

I love that custom Creston DuPlantis is playing.

He opened with his own set. I got to talk to Andrew a bit. A really nice, down to earth guy.

The black one with a maple neck? Yes, it belongs to @JIO he can tell you all about it - super cool bass!

 

[cuth]

Any suggestions on where I might find a bridge cover that will actually fit my Greco TB900?

Just got home, did I miss anything?

The black one on the stand is in fact a custom build by club member @JIO and it truly is an awesome build! Pickups to die for, innovative strap horn extension for perfect balance and even a programmable backlit pickguard logo for that wow factor. He can chime in with the specifics, but it was one of the coolest basses at the GTG.

I can't promise that he still has any left, but you might PM Scott @godofthunder59 as he has made very nice Repros in the past.
