Take a load off your fanny
Make a load for free
Take a load off your fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
YECH!

One of the rare percussionists who can sing and play at the same time. He makes it look easy.

Great song!


And yes, ive had a few chuckles at that song as well....thats because im a 6th grader in many respects.


Fare thee well, Levon, say hi to Rick Danko and Rich Manuel for us. The Sky Arena is slowly reuniting the group.

I had no idea who performed that tune until this thread. All these passages make one feel old...

If anyone's interested, NPR did an interview with Levon back in 2007. It's long (about 45 minutes), but you can stream it here:

He played Loretta Lynn's father in coal miner's daughter. Did a nice job too.
