OT: Levon Helm

is in bad shape. A sad day is coming. I rarely get emotional for celebrities, but I'll shed a tear for Levon.

I will have to bust out The Last Waltz again. When there was not much of a late night in the cotton district, we always resorted to watching it.

Love the Band. Love Levon. Had the good fortune to see him at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta a few years ago. He was in rare form. Had just come back from his first setback and had regained his voice. Touring after the release of Dirtfarmer (fantastic record if you haven't given it a listen). It was a fantastic show.<div>
</div><div>I have long been trying to get myself to go to one of his Midnight Rambles at his place in upstate NY. I wish I would have motivated myself more. If anybody here has been, I would love to hear about it.</div><div>
</div><div>I Shall be Released.</div>

Always wish we could add him to the list of great Mississippi artists, so close.

And The Band.

Always thought he was really good in The Last Waltz when he talks about Rock N Roll and how it all comes together around these parts.

I've got Robin Gibb to complete the trifecta.
