    Orpheus plays Carnegie Hall in New York City.

  6. I pulled in to Nazareth
    Was feeling 'bout half past dead
    I just need someplace
    Where I can lay my head
    "Hey, mister, can you tell me
    Where a man might find a bed?"
    He just grinned and shook my hand
    NO was all he said
    Take a load off, Fanny
    Take a load for free
    Take a load off, Fanny
    And
    You put the load right on me

    On this day in 1986, #RichardManuel of #TheBand took his own life after a show in Florida. The talented musician with the stunning voice was only 41.

    "They say every man needs protection
    They say that every man must fall
    Yet I swear I see my reflection
    Somewhere so high above this wall"
