Yes. Saw that in the latter stages of the work day yesterday. Sad news to see/read/hear. I knew him first and foremost from his solo works. LOVE the song "What About Now?". Plus, a couple of years ago, I heard a new (new to me, anyway) Christmas tune done by him - titled "Christmas Must Be Tonight". Needless to say, I downloaded that song from iTunes. EDIT : Meant to mention that it was after I heard "What About Now?" that I found out that he was a part of The Band.RIP Robbie Robertson. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Joker's Wilde
