Garth Hudson, multi-instrumental genius of Canadian pioneers The Band. When they first went on tour with the affa radge Ronnie Hawkins as The Hawks, Garth?s ma and da were concerned that it would wreck his child prodigy instrumental prowess. This was solved by his excuse that he was giving the other Hawks musical tuition for a small daily fee. Hawkins himself told the boys, ?You may not make much money, but you?ll get more ***** than Sinatra?.

Then Bob Dylan came calling, Big Pink was established and the sepia-tinted songs just poured out.

RIP Mr Hudson, the last living member of one of the most influential acts of modern times.

Ach.
