The Last Waltz …
... released April 7, 1978. It's the second live album by the Band and is the soundtrack to the 1978 film of the same name The Last Waltz is also the final album by the original configuration of The Band. The icons that showed up to say farewell is amazing and the music they create is iconic. Listen to The Last Waltz by The Band on Amazon Music ... #thelastwaltz #theband #richardmanuel #rickdanko #levonhelm #garthhudson #robbierobertson #rock…

It’s #Blues man Muddy Waters birthday today, April 4 (1913-ish) and to celebrate him starting off on harmonica and a “broken down #accordion” this week’s episode of @accordionnoir radio is a tangle of different squeezebox blues styles
From Muddy Waters himself (with #GarthHudson of The Band on 🪗) to #CountryMusic #Klezmer #CajunMusic #Zydeco #Bluegrass and #Jazz
With the world as it is, a little blues seemed like the thing to do

Bob Dylan Remembers Garth Hudson: ‘He Was a Beautiful Guy’
Celebrities Who Have Died in 2025
#Variety #Obituaries #PeopleNews #DavidLynch #GarthHudson

Sunday Morning Reading
What do Aristotle, Katherine Hepburn, Garth Hudson, beautiful minds, and ugly hearts have in common? They all make an appearance in this week’s Sunday Morning Reading. Or at least writers doing their thing and writing about them do.
Hearts can be ugly things, yet they draw our poets, songwriters, and story tellers like moths to a flame. NatashaMH flutters around the heat in The Beautiful Mind Of An Ugly Heart.
Speaking of ugly hearts, quite a few of them are on appearing on shirt sleeves alongside all the chest thumping and Nazi salutes going on here in the U.S (and elsewhere). We’re only a week into the victory laps and lapses of humility, yet already writers are wearing out keyboards with words of resistance. Ian Dunt has penned How To Resist The Tech Overlords. In this new and hot category of writing, let’s hope none of this seems like fiction down the road.
Another way to resist the tech overlords is to just say no when they overreach. Microsoft overstepped by raising everyone’s Office 365 subscription prices on the inclusion, wanted or not, of its Microsoft 366 Copilot AI features. There’s a way to avoid the price hike written up by Mark Hachman on PC World. You might want to check that out.
For a good read on the entire Microsoft situation, Ed Bott chronicles the story of Microsoft’s latest AI unintelligent move in The Microsoft 365 Copilot Launch Was A Total Disaster.
Meanwhile the Chinese might have found a way to fight the AI money grab and spend long before we reach the cash out stage. Zeyi Yang lays it out in How Chinese AI Startup DeepSeek Made A Model That Rivals OpenAI. The sexy stories about TikTok might be taking a back seat to this one.
Alex Himelfarb tells us The Politics of “Common Sense” Is Making Us Meaner. He’s right.
Joan Westenberg takes it all on in Clash: Power, Greed, And The Fight For a Fair Future.
If you’re concerned about what the tech side of all of these moments of madness we’re living through might mean, remember it’s not the tech and it is. Check out Nina Metz’s review of the Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy flick Desk Set. As Ms. Metz puts it, This Movie With Katherine Hepburn And Spencer Tracy Anticipated Anxieties About The Internet And AI. Oh, also check out the flick. You won’t be sorry.
There really is nothing new under the sun, including cribbing and cropping from the work of others. Massimo Pugliucci takes a look at Ayn Rand’s Objectivist theories and her claims to be influenced by Aristotle. As he puts it well, “one can hardly imagine what possible points of contact the two might have.” Take a look at On Ayn Rand and Aristotle.
These are indeed challenging times and often they feel quite dark. Alexander Verbeek gives us the always needed reminder that When Darkness Returns, Art Exists.
And on that note, and since we lost one of the greatest musical artists of my generation, Garth Hudson, this week, Check out Amanda Petrusich’s Remembering Garth Hudson, The Man Who Transformed The Band. Remember many of Hudson’s and The Band’s creations came in another turbulent era in our history. A beautiful musician and beautiful mind.

You can also find more of my writings on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. You can also find me on social networks under my own name.

Sunday morning listening…. #TheBand #StageFright Rest in peace #GarthHudson the last member to leave planet earth earlier last week. 🥀💔
With Garth Hudson having passed, I figured it was time for a rewatch of THE LAST WALTZ (1976; dir. Martin Scorsese), since it's been over a decade since I last saw it. I don't think I noticed how much it's the Robbie Robertson show on my last viewing...

Last night's episode of CFRO's weekly hour-long #AccordionNoir broadcast - a tribute to #GarthHudson of The Band - is up online and available for your listening enjoyment via https://accordionuprising.wordpress.com/2025/01/23/accordion-noir-radio-playlist-2025-01-22-garth-hudson-we-thank-you/
If you don't know who #GarthHudson is or why he's so important to us musicians, you can't do better than check out this fantastic 19-minute documentary on him:
“But if you’re lucky, one day you’ll find out
Where it is you’re really coming from”
Garth’s organ solo starts at 2:12. Don’t miss it. One of the all-time great moments in music.
In one sense, #TheBand ended almost 50 years ago – this video caught the moment of that ending on screen. In another sense, it ended two days ago, when #GarthHudson died. (1/2)
