Sad day for music

LeRoi Moore, founder of Dave Matthews Band and incredible musician died yesterday due to complications from an ATV accident that happened on his VA farm on June 30. He was 46 years old.

He arranged most of the songs that DMB played and wrote a few himself. He was a master of all woodwinds, with an incredible "acid jazz" style that fit so well with the music that he loved and played.LeRoi was the quite member of DMB, but he played one of the biggest rolls. You would find him on stage, hiding in the shadows or playing his amazing assortment of instruments behind dark sunglasses. Truth be told, he had stage fright! He was an amazing man, incredible musician and a faithful member to Dave Matthews Band. He will be missed.
