Last night in bed while listening to their music I read these words. RIP fellows.

"Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay:

I'm a martyr to a motion not my own:

what's freedom for? To know eternity.

from I Knew a Woman

Theodore Roethke

A good interview with Nanci

"My heart is sad and I am in sorrow

For the only one I love

When shall I see him?

Oh no, never, till we meet in heaven above"

from Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow Tree

I love the music of The Band and it is time for a cow day.

Some great work by Garth Hudson here.

"Without your love, I'm nothing at all

Like an empty hall, it's a lonely fall

Since you've gone it's a losing battle

Stampeding cattle, they rattle the walls

And the sun don't shine anymore

And the rains fall down on my door"

And it Makes No Difference, The Band

"I've seen you watching people

walking through this world

seen what they do to try and make it through each day.

Don't be alarmed there's something

out there waiting just for you someday.

from Everybody Cries
