Amazing! Sometimes these things just get into the ether. And yes a toast to Dads! Mine especially loved that movie.

Ok. Last thing. I have a movie poster of it on my office wall that I got when I was 16 from a movie theater in Damariscotta, ME. I asked them and they gave it to me. I couldn’t believe my good luck. That movie was like a religion for me. 😊

Thanks for adding these. An oversight!

So great, all of it. The name of the band, the title of the movie and all those guys.

My dad took me to see The Last Waltz 3 different times when it first came out, and that "sound" you described was always my favorite moment. Loved this description.

Ok, so history repeats itself. My daughter, 21, growing up was my musical mentee (although that dynamic is shifting fast right now). This morning she sent me completely unrelated to this or anything else a link to Up on Cripple Creek. Oh, ho, ho, happy dad.

And good for you and your dad. He knew what he was doing. Here’s to Dads. 😂
