Thanks....
I did not want to input too much info or drama for you all. The post was really about the band. I had written Mav several times over the last few years expressing our thanks for their entertainment and inspiration. Not much else to say. I do not how I would get through these dark times without music. At times it seems it is all I have.
Cheers...

So very sorry for your loss. I really do hope you can meet the band to thank them for their music.

I would be satisfied knowing that they read some of the threads or emails sent in. They can look for the guy in row BB Saturday night with a big head, squinty eyes, and a courage t-shirt on. Should stick out like a sore thumb :lol:

I'm not even Canadian and feel the same way as their fellow countrymen do about them. No band has impacted me like The Hip, for so many reasons.
This music speaks to me.
All I'm hearin' is youuuuuuuu

Although I won't be at the show Saturday, I will be thinking of you. I will also walk proudly on Sunday at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Buffalo. In honor of your wife, I will listen to the Hip and think of both of you! So sorry for you loss.

I got this piece of paper in the mail today from a collegue in Boston - we talked about this piece of paper 5 years ago at dinner and with reading this open letter to the Tragically Hip this week - I thought it mysterious it showed up and very appropriate to share - especially with Dave:
Music is a moral law, it gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to to sadness, gaity and life to everything else. It is the essense of order and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful - of which it is the invisible but nevertheless dazzling, passionate and external form. Plato
Have a gooder on Saturday night!
