God I miss these guys...Nobody like them anymore..Its a by gone time..for me it's my youth, I listened to 'The Band", Bob Dylan, and Lightfoot, When my friends were listening to Van Halen, Judas Priest and Motley Crew..Don't get me wrong I love the heavy music too...but my heart was in the earthier music.
I got to tour with them in 94 as the drummer for Bobby Whitlock which was really the first real tour he had done since Derek and the Dominos. It was incredible because I was only 23 and every show was SOLD OUT!! Rick was awesome and spent time with me often. Later I was with Buddy Miles and we did Bluesaid with Levon a couple years in a row and that was great too. I only wish Richard was there….
I remember as a young teenager in Toronto (1960's), seeing flyers on telephone posts, etc., for Ronnie & the Hawks, then Levon & the Hawks. Sadly, I was too young at the time to see them.
Richard looks very sick in the thumbnail. As a former addict of the same drug. I couldn't imagine having that kinda money and being able to stay alive as long as he did.
It's amazing how Levon and Rick look younger here than they did at Woodstock 1969.

Richard Manuel’s philosophy was to be kind to everyone”-Levon helm. All he needed to do was be nice to himself though.😢
I'm sure we all wish Richard was still around and that we're still thinking of him! 🥲🙏
Richard ❤❤❤❤
