From Rolling Stone's 1968 cover story with The Band, Bob Dylan called Robbie Robertson: 'the only mathematical guitar genius I’ve ever run into who does not offend my intestinal nervousness with his rear guard sound.'
There are four others in the band. Like Robertson, three of them came from Canada. At the organ, there is Garth Hudson, who had started out to attend agricultural college until a photograph of his uncle playing trombone in a dance band led him into the study of music theory and harmony. By the time he was 13, he says, he was the only one in London, Ontario, who knew how to play rock and roll.
Organist Garth Hudson was born in London, Ontario to a farming family whose relatives included a number of musicians. “My uncles all played in bands and my father had a lot of old instruments around the house. I guess I began to play the piano when I was about five.” Garth’s high school band was “kind of a vaudeville act” according to him, and it wasn’t until later that he began playing rock and roll. “I’d heard country for years though,” he says.
They all met playing with Ronnie Hawkins, who hired them one by one until, after three years, they quit. They were playing at a night club in the seashore resort of Somers Point, New Jersey, when, in the summer of 1965, Dylan telephoned them.
