Garth Hudson

There is a view that jazz is 'evil' because it comes from evil people, but actually the greatest priests on 52nd Street and on the streets of New York City were the musicians. They were doing the greatest healing work. They knew how to punch through music that would cure and make people feel good.

    Yes, and Garth's music has a healing power all its own.

    Are you familiar with his post-Band CDs?

    Nice to see those words in print.

    Thanks for reminding us of them, Emily.
