I post this in honor of Cylent. I have no idea if he would have details on Garth Hudson or if he even liked The Band, but it's a group that I liked at the time.
Garth Hudson, the Band’s virtuoso keyboardist and all-around musician who drew from a unique palette of sounds and styles to add a conversational touch to such rock standards as “Up on Cripple Creek,” “The Weight” and “Rag Mama Rag,” has died at age 87.
