When you get a new piece of Musical Gear... Be it hardware, software, rack-mount, stomp box, and so on... Put away the instructions aside from the set-up and throw the troubleshoot guide into the trash... Accidents and ignorance creates beautiful mistakes... (Jaco Pastorius : 1951 - 1987)

Rest In Peace LeRoi Moore..


The Official Dave Matthews Band website reported that LeRoi Moore died of complications from his injuries in the ATV accident:

We are deeply saddened that LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. LeRoi had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program.

Dave Matthews paid tribute to Moore on August 19, 2008 at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, after the band's first song of the performance, "Bartender". "We all had some bad news today, our good friend LeRoi Moore passed on and gave his ghost up today and we will miss him forever." Matthews told the sold-out crowd. Fans then shouted Moore's name in remembrance..



"We were walking. Just the other day
For a moment this good time would never end
You and me. Just wasting time

And if I go, before I'm old
Oh brother of mine, please dont forget me if I go
And if I die, before my time
Oh sweet sister of mine, do not regret me if I die

I shall miss these things. When it all rolls by
What a day.."
