  1. I've often heard of his father referred to as a "Jewish gangster." Anyone know anything more about that?

    And Robertson was/is a helluva songwriter and musician. For a few years there, The Band was about as good as it got.

  2. Wasn't he born Jamie Royal Klegerman, as opposed to Jamie Robert?

  3. I LOVE ROBBIE ROBERTSON I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU PROFILED HIM! A lot of people say that The Band's (Agree, best band name EVER for a um... er... band) best album is Music From Big Pink, yeah it's great a 10/10 but I have to give an 11/10 To The Band's (1969)Sophomore album! It's just THE BEST! Anyway I have a suggestion for the next musician you should profile... Can you please, please Profile Donald Fagen from Steely Dan!!! I know he's Jewish! So you have to give him what at least a 13, 14 or even a 15! Please, please, please!!!! Oh and YAKOV and/or do you know if his partner in crime Walter Becker is Jewish? There seems to be a inconsistency on the web, some saying that he is, some saying that he isn't some say nothing at all, yadda, yadda, yadda... Any-who be much appreciated if you could tell me, pretty sure that he is but I want to know what you guys come up with... Shalom! P.S. Thanks again for the Robbie Robertson Profile! Shalom! - From a musical Jew.

  4. "Jewish gambler", I've seen. Actually I've seen: "son of a Jewish card player." That sounds much nicer.
