Hope he doesn't try and screw over Richard, Rick and Levon in heaven like he did on Earth.

Garth is all that's left here.

The Far, Lonely Cry of Trains

Pretty awesome-but-unknown song he did for the Jimmy Hollywood film soundtrack. Haunting tune.

While I’ll always be Team Levon, agreed. The Band is my father’s favorite, so many memories of listening to their music as a kid in the car.

I’ve been to the Big Pink house, pretty cool experience.

Mean no disrespect to the dead, and not trying to be edgy...but I always thought he was the least talented member of the Band. Maybe that is really just a compliment to the other members.

There was much talent to go around and he was a helluva singer/songwriter.

He was a great guitarist and songwriter. Very tasteful player.

He plays one of the leads in Eric Clapton's: "It's in the way that you use it"

Listen to it through headphones.

My mom went to hs w danko and remembers he and his brothers playing in bands in s ontario. RR was the songwriter for the band but the rest of them made the music sing, he didn't cut them in on royalties and they broke up. The sum was greater than the parts. Too bad he couldn't have shared more and they stay together.
He was amazing talent, once we were brothers is the story of the band really thru him so not quite balanced but a good bio.
His charity choice for donations speakes to his first nations roots, he embraced them.

God speed

He wrote It Makes No Difference, one of my favorite songs of all time. RIP.
