"Dear LeRoi,

May you always be a light.
May you always be a friend.
May what you did for others be done for others too.

You have been a great friend.
You have been a great supporter.
You have been an inspiration for a generation.

The world will miss you.
I hope you're playing with Coltrane right now.

Love,
--All of us"

So is the rest of the tour cancelled? It's goin to be interesting to see what they do. I have to assume they are finished forever. They can't make an album without Roi.

I just got back from the show tonight and was completely shocked to hear Dave announce that a good friend had left the band. After he mentioned it I realized how lucky I was to see the band actually perform that night, able to push through even something that heavy. The band played a very emotional show tonight, one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Roi would have been proud. Dave said that they played songs that Roi liked, and he told a story of when Roi got drunk and leaned up against a register in a bar and played the most beautiful version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow he had ever heard. You could see Stefan and Carter crying. Very very sad. I had no idea his problem was this serious.

I find it unbelievable that they managed to play an entire show tonight. I've been listening to DMB for the first time in months and I get all sad whenever I hear Leroi's parts.

"greave" or "tuff?" Both are pretty idiotic.

Dave put it into perspective stating, "There's no place I'd rather be than here with you guys right now." We cherish special memories of our lost friend. Tonight, Dave told a story about LeRoi at a bar in Virginia where the cash register was near the stage, and LeRoi leaned on the register because "standing had become a chore" and then played the most beautiful version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Dave said, "that was the day I fell in love with him." It's safe to say we all were in love with him. "It's always easier to leave, than to be left." -DM

I just wanted to take a second to thank everyone for the support and blessings.

It means a lot and I know that Leroi feels the vibrations where ever his soul may be....
