Jason Schneider, author of Whispering Pines and my co-author of Have Not Been the Same, writes a beautiful personal essay about getting to know Garth Hudson, one of his musical heroes, with whom he once found himself in a late-night student diner and driving around to random convenience stores in Kitchener, Ontario.

As a keyboardist, I appreciated this in particular: “Canada gave the world three of the greatest musical minds of the 20th century: Glenn Gould, Oscar Peterson and Garth Hudson.”
