Leroi Moore, DMB sax player, dies at 46

According to reports all of the interwebs last night, the sax player
and founding memer of Dave Mattews Band passed away yesterday.
Complications that arose from an ATV accident in late June were cited,
but no official cause of death had been released. Dave and crew had a
performance scheduled last night in LA and decided to play that night
in memorium.

This is a pretty sad day. It's always trajic when anyone passes away,
but I have always felt particularly bonded to DMB. Much of my high
school life was dedicated to Dave's crew and their unique blend of
jazz, folk, rock an pop that no one else has been able to mimic to
this day. Each and every member of that band is exetermely talented as
well, and it breaks my heart to see such talent taken from the world
so early.

Take the time to toss in done Under The Table And Dreaming today (I
know you still have that cd somewhere) and pay some tribute to a
fantastic musician.
