The Previous Post..

got me thinking about The Band and all of the trials and tribulations they seemed to experience. Rick Danko passed last year and Robby can't seem to patch things up and take the high road with Levon.

Richard Manuel was a big part of the "sound" of The Band both vocally and musically. His voice is almost instantly recognizable as part the mix of some of The Band's best songs.

Sadly, he committed suicide. I wonder why more wasn't made of it? Anyway, here is one of his solo's with his mate's backing..
