Fair point that The Band are mostly Canadians. I'd forgotten that. They got their start there. They wrote and recorded most of their great stuff in Woodstock, NY at the pink house. They don't sound Canadian to my ear or even like they are from upstate NY. Levon Helm gave a distinctly southern flavor to many of their songs.

Fun topic, but there are roughly a jillion bands I'd pay to see before either The Eagles or Aerosmith.

I met Steve Tyler a few years ago at the final four in Arizona. Really sweet, nice guy.
I tried and I just don't get it. Willing to agree it's me. I have a passion for Bluegrass and classic Country.
