"He cast off his nervousness from the rehearsal and took the stage in blazing form... We played 'Who Do You Love'... Ronnie growled like a mad dog. In the middle of one of my solos, he took off his hat and fanned my fingers like the guitar was going to catch fire, just as he had done back when I was seventeen." — Robbie Robertson Remembering Ronnie "The Hawk" Hawkins, who passed away on this day in 2022.
