We were saddened by the passing of Dave Matthews Band sax-man LeRoi Moore. From what we heard, he was a quiet, introspective dude. We met LeRoi once in Charlottesville, Virginia, and he was really nice. 

Our buddy, esteemed rock photographer Danny Clinch, sent us this photo of LeRoi's arsenal, taken prior to DMB's legendary 2003 gig in Central Park. 

RIP
