Rashawn Interview and Roi Tribute

In case you missed it, and judging by the number of You Tube hits you probably did, Rashawn Ross participated in a tribute song to LeRoi Moore, fittingly entitled One Moore Farewell. Ross talked about his participation in the song, and also his participation in Dave Matthews Band in an
interview with Guitarist Jay Pun.
The hauntingly beautiful tribute to Roi is found not only in the above link, but here as well. Check em both out, they are well worth the time.

Here are some of LeRoi Moore's Greatest Moments
(Lack of) Grammy Apology
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Member News on 2/11/09 8:53am
The Grammy's said... well, I'm not sure what they said. According to their press release, which you can read here, they reason: "Unfortunately we are unable to include all of the talented and wonderful people within the allotted timeframe." So in a three-hour show, it was impossible to shave 30 seconds off some intro by someone, or heaven-forbid drop a 30 second commercial to squeeze in a few more fallen musicians?
As we stated previously, the decision to exclude Roi was made in the pre-production stage of the program. So the 'unable to include' was made about a month or so before the Grammy's even aired. So pretty much the Grammy's are saying, 'We left him out on purpose, it wasn't a mistake.' Now you feel better?
LeRoi Snub Gets Press

There is still no 'official' word from the good people who honored Allison Krause and Robert Plant for their album no one heard of until it got nominated. The closest thing to an 'official' reply came from the well-respected music blog Bob Lefsetz, which said (via an email), "(Roi Moore) was... named in the In Memoriam section of the program book along with 274 other deceased musicians. They simply can't fit all 275 people on the telecast. When it was brought to the producer's attention that he was missing from the telecast, it was supposedly too late to add him."

As for reaction from the band, Dave and Stefan both commented via their Twitter accounts. Matthews commented, "We all know what a great man Mr. Moore was, we remember him," and "The Grammies (sic) are not my cup of tea." Lessard was a bit more blunt, responding to the snub, "It just goes to show how full of s*** the Grammys have become."
