Rush’s double-platinum album Moving Pictures, including its smash hit “Tom Sawyer,” was mostly written in Hawkins’s barn while the band lived in his home (the recording was done in Quebec)

Ronnie started his band with Levon Helm in Helena, Arkansas. That is the same town that Conway Twitty came from and encouraged Hawkins to go to Canada.

the following musicians are forever intertwined in one of the (if not the) most important chapters of the great american songbook:

ronnie hawkins
levon helm
robbie robertson
richard manuel
rick danko
garth hudson
bob dylan

only robertson (78), dylan (81) and hudson (84) are still with us
