Very much the same for me. Their music is ingrained in me by now. It's part of me.

Here's Garth on the clavinet, which is one of the coolest novelty sounds in rock music I know of. It always made me think of a jaw harp that was somehow electrified and amplified.

Up On Cripple Creek

So that’s what’s making those sounds! I never knew. Great song by the way.

Here’s another story. After a gig while they were packing up their gear Richard Manuel went up to Garth and thanked him for twenty-five years of great music, which seemed an odd thing to say. Early the next morning he hung himself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Manuel#Death

Funny the things we remember... I still remember the day I heard Richard Manual was dead on the radio on my morning commute in to my first job out of college. I still remember exactly where I was — at the end of a specific interchange ramp — on the commute when the news hit.
