  1. The Last Waltz is over.

    My brother used to crank up ‘The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down’ too loud on his 8 track player when I was trying to sleep. And I saw The Last Waltz movie more than once at the old movie houses in DC. Good times.

  2. I first heard The Band at a college party . The horns and piano made a great festive atmosphere. I thought it was older kids’ music. I eventually grew into it. Mr. Robinson – the last of the true troubadours , thank you for making the soundtrack for so many of my great memories.

  3. Me in the car yesterday:

    “No, honey…Robert Robertson, not Robert Pattinson. Go back to your phone. And somebody should tell the DJ that it’s Robbie, not Robert.”

  4. My entire family was subjected to listening to The Band on every road trip. My now mid-30’s kids play it at home to their kids. It’s pretty timeless and wonderful stuff. Glad it was a part of my youth.
