Just finished “Testimony” by Robbie Robertson and “This Wheel On Fire By Levon Helm.
Read them back to back…What a different take on my favorite band.
I play a lot of The Band’s music and without a doubt they were one of the greatest influences on my guitar playing.
I love the genre known as “American Roots”.
Their different take on “The Music Business” by Robertson and Helm make me very happy that I’m “just a picker” who plays for my own enjoyment and the pleasure of a few others.
So sad that that such genius can be destroyed by time and money.
But…..I’ll always be “Up On Cripple Creek” .
My thanks to The members of “The Band” for many nights of music. -

I’ve been reading quite a few books by performers and I couldn’t agree more with your words above.
What a grueling life ,on the road and dealing with all that encompass’s. I love my farm life.
I own 2copies of “The Last Waltz” which I try to view several times a year One of the Greatest!

“Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.”

“The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side.”
