The Band’s song The Weight. An all-time favorite, first discovered during my sophomore year of college when my friend Matt began practicing guitar. I’d sit and listen to him & a few friends have a jam session on the weekends, tackling greats like this one. I owe these few friends eternally for introducing me to some of the best music of the 60s & 70s.
