In reply to the discussion: Robbie Robertson, Leader of The Band, Dies at 80 [View all]SCantiGOP
(13,878 posts)29. Interesting story about Garth
He was the only one in the group with classical
music training, and he told the others that he wouldnt play unless they paid him $10 a week for lessons.
They thought it was weird and that he just wanted the money. It turned out that both of his parents were classical musicians, and would have been appalled had he told them he was playing in a hippie band. Instead he told them he was making his money teaching music.

I deleted this because it was a performance by the Band but Robertson was not there.
