Tribute to the great Richard Manuel about whom
Eric Clapton said: "For me he was the true light
of The Band. There was something of the holy
madman about Richard. He was raw. When he sang in
that high falsetto the hair on my neck would stand
on end. Not many people can do that." Tags :TheBandRichardManuelWhisperingPines

born in 1888. His gravestone says 1889 :-/ There
seems to be some confusion.

Unknown song writer for this song - it is from the
1870's
I heard this version of this song about 6 months

written by Kurt Cobain. Tags :leadbellymygirlwheredidyousleeplastnightinthepinesblackleadbellynirvana
