Rest in peace, Leroi Moore...

It's pretty hard to describe what I'm feeling right now - I just read online that Leroi Moore, saxophonist for my favorite band in the whole wide world, The Dave Matthews Band, passed away earlier today from complications from his ATV accident some days ago.

What I've always loved about the band is that it's comprised of talented musicians, and they all bring something special, and irreplaceable, to the band. And those who know me best have heard me say on many occasions how much I love Moore's mellowing (and sometimes, appropriately wailin') saxophone solos. I still can't believe I'll never hear him play again.

Rest in peace, Leroi. It's impossible to thank you enough for all of the joy your music has brought millions of fans around the world over the years, and me personally, but I'll write it anyway - thanks for the memories and your passion for being the best you could be, and for sharing your talents with all of us. You will never, ever be forgotten, and your music will live on in our hearts forever.
