LeRoi Moore is no longer on the sax-a-phone....

Listening to Loving Wings and thinking about what a huge talent LeRoi was and will remain so because of all the tapes and digital recordings that we have of him in that space that he used so well to help define what the Dave Matthews Band really is.
To lose such a wonderful talent to such a crazy thing like 4 wheeling on your own property makes you really think just how totally precious life really is.
LeRoi was a member of the band that I have the highest amount of respect for-- the one band that I have seen almost 50 times, had the pleasure of working with many years ago and one which is so inspirational to so many artists.
LeRoi is the one guy that just does his thing and does it so well--and now not seeing him up there, well, its got to be like Zeppelin playing without Bonzo--but the band seems to want to finish this tour and then see where things lie.
My thoughts and prayers are with the band and Moore's family. What a tragic loss for the world...
