1) Yes, this post is NOT hockey related, but who cares its the off season and one of our favourite bands DMB, lost one its original members. For non-fans of the band Moore was the wind instrument musician, playing everything from the sax, clarinet and every thing in between with acuity, verve and precision. LeRoi Moore, founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. He was an indispensable member of the band that helped give them such a distinctive sound. The band and life will go on, but he will be missed.Thursday, August 21, 2008
Good-Bye LeRoi!

R.I.P, LeRoi. You will be missed but have left the world with the incredible gift of your music, which will always be with us.
Amen!
Faux2, you have coaxed me out of hiding at this time with your heart felt post memorializing a genuinely kind and gracious man... The Antzmarching family is deeply saddened by the shocking and premature death of Leroi Moore... For those in the know, it is apparent that my screen name is a testament to the admiration and affection I feel for this band... LeRoi, your end came way too soon and you will be greatly missed - but certainly never forgotten... "Stage Left" shall not be the same again... My thoughts and prayers go out to the Moore family in this time of grief, as well as a special thank you to Faux2 for this classy tribute...
1) Good to have ya back on the blog Antz. Sorry it took this tragedy to have ya return.
