I don't think it got much Philly airplay, but I vaguely remember it being talked about. It's on it's way via Amazon, thanks!M_Sharpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-53386777889842572852019-10-22T13:06:09.755-07:002019-10-22T13:06:09.755-07:00the Largo track links didn't work for me.

I do wish he was included in the Playing for Change video of The Weight. Also, I read somewhere that he was not interviewed for the Band doc Once We Were Brothers.<br /><br />When you listen closely to Northern Lights Southern's Cross, you hear all sorts of great sounds that can be attributed to Garth "honey boy" Hudson. <br /><br />He has played with just about every stripe of popular music musician. An unassuming musical genius, IMHO.<br />JoeJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557009733886353093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-42211763685581193092019-10-21T06:57:50.925-07:002019-10-21T06:57:50.925-07:00Really cool post.

I'd never heard of Largo, but checked out the links at Amazon and there was some really intriguing snippets. Will definitely dig into that a bit deeper. That's what I love about these music communities, is that you never know what you're going to be exposed to. Have a good one, and thanks again.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863565099476649907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-71654032004428384722019-10-21T06:28:13.352-07:002019-10-21T06:28:13.352-07:00Another highest recommendation for visiting Opus 4...Another highest recommendation for visiting Opus 40. We were there a few years back and were blown away. (The photo is just a tiny portion of the site—it's enormous.) Inexplicable why this place—and Harvey Fite—are not more famous. Especially now, as more artists with a singular, non-mainstream, vision are widely celebrated.<br /><br />Garth, without question, is near the top of the pantheon. Always love that story (told in "The Last Waltz," I think) that he had to tell his family that he was the Band's "music teacher" because that was way more respectable than being a road musician...<br /><br />Will checkout the "Largo" links. I'd heard of it at some point but that's all...<br /><br />(Nice, wide-ranging post, Jeff!)<br /><br />Ken Dnoreply@blogger.com
