Apr 19 12 8:22 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	This is sad, but not unexpected news. I had the great pleasure of listening to Levon sing and play mandolin a dozen or more times at the now defunct Lone Star Cafe in Manhattan. Back in those days, Levon and friends were something of an early-in-the-week house band, and the music on those evenings was always unpretentious, spontaneous, and freewheeling. To my regret, I never had the chance to catch Levon playing at his Midnight Ramble in Woodstock, but in August 2008 a friend and I drove up to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center to attend an all-day music festival which concluded with an unforgettable one-two punch at the end: a warm and soulful set by Levon Helm and friends, followed by the usual chaotic - but always riveting - closing set by Levon's former band-mate Bob Dylan. I wanted so bad to see Levon and Bob play something together, but it didn't happen... at least on stage that night. R.I.P Levon, you will be missed.

Certainly deserved but I think there's a Band fan at the Beeb. RIP Russ Last Edited By: professor liebstrum Apr 20 12 4:30 PM. Edited 1 times.

(Stumbled on his brief turn in Shooter a couple of weeks ago and marveled again at what a natural he is.) R.I.P. "I consider it dispassionately as a possibility -- not hysterically as a fact."
