R.I.P. Levon Helm

I feel sadness in my heart today. I did not know Levon personally but he spoke to me many times through his music and I always felt like he was my best friend after hearing him. A true living legend, no longer with us.

Somewhere I hope Levon is singing with Rick and Richard. What great music those guys made together. Last night I listened to some music by The Band. Bittersweet in many ways.

.....all of the above. The Band was truly in a class of their own - and nobody has ever really come along that has even resembled them musically. They were really good. I did read that Robbie Robertson was there at the end for levon. Hopefully to say ; '' I'm sorry '' or possibly out of guilt......

Levon what a voice,what soul.Truly enduring music.

I'm a much bigger fan of Levon Helms than of the Band. Understandably, most of the reactions I've read here and elsewhere reference his work with the Band. I've said it before, and I'll say it again (sadly, I'm realizing it's the last time I'll do so), anyone that's a fan of the Band that HASN'T heard LV's solo output (Dirt Farmer, Electric Dirt, & Ramble At The Ryman) should run, not walk, to get these great records!!
