Rest in Peace to another Canadian music and cultural giant. The Band were a bit before my time and out of my wheelhouse as a kid but benefit of life experience and maybe a bit more mature musical palate, I came to appreciate the greatness of Robbie Robertson and his band Band mates.
It's quite something to look back in the waywayback machine in a two channel tv world, how Canadian icons were at the forefront of making distinctive original music. We've a bit lesser for the loss of Canadian talent like Robertson, Lightfoot, Tim Backman, next generation Gord Downie. Hold on to our treasures still with us, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Burton Cummings, Randy Bachman.
RIP Robbie Robertson, thank you for your music and wisdom.
