Garth & Maud Hudson/ Various Artists, Jeff Healey's Night Club, Toronto, Ontario, 10.10.2002

Four hours again of fabulous music! A real close and personal gig with The Hudsons and Jeff Healey and the Weber Brothers from The Hawks. Even the sound check was great! The Weber Brothers are Sam (19 and sporting a Beatles hair cut and playing guitar) and Ryan (22 and again wearing his Rick Danko floppy like hat and bouncing around on stage while playing bass) were a pleasure to watch. They're from Maryland but now reside in Peterborough to be close to The Hawk! The harmonica player Jerome Godboo sent out positive vibes during their set by interacting with the audience and smiling....smiling.....smiling. I met a musician who plays with The Weber Brothers and he told me that the word out was Ronnie would only be at the show if Robbie was to show up. I met Maud and Garth finally. This was my third time that I saw Garth perform. Maud was groovin' all night long to the music of all the performers. I wished she would have performed more than one song, especially "It Makes No Difference". I never would have imagined that anyone could touch this song but Rick, but I was wrong. Maud can. I feel "blessed" that I heard her sing it at The Hard Rock Cafe gig. A lot of guest performers shared their outstanding talents! A few female singers (one even served drinks at this club) were all amazing singers. They need more singing time! A musician from Nova Scotia did an amazing cover of "Thrill Is Gone". So amazing that even B.B. King would have been impressed! There was also a really young guitarist who came up on stage and sent out all the testosterone that he possessed via his guitar. He was small in stature but not on talent. I liked how his body became a part of his instrument as well... Hendrix always did this, didn't he? Garth and Healey wowed everyone with their musical brilliance. Garth played every instrument that he brought and again, when Jeff stands up, he means business! I don't know what else to say about these two Canadian performers that hasn't already been said a zillion times. They are musical treasures of Canada. Garth has said that he'd live in Canada if he could and Jeff is still here. I can't even imagine what it was like to have seen the original Band members live. I would have had my first epiphany for sure! --"Brown Eyed Girl", The Band guestbook, October 2002
