Not many people know that Dave Matthews Band was, in fact, not founded by Dave Matthews. It was saxophonist LeRoi Moore who, one Thursday night at a Charlottesville, Virginia, bar named Miller's, first suggested to a bartender named David J. Matthews that they start recording together. The rest is history.Yesterday, LeRoi Moore passed away at the unbelievably young age of 46.
I'll never be able to listen to that sax solo in "Rapunzel" in the same way again. So long, LeRoi. You will be missed.
