    RIP Levon Helm

    Levon Helm

    May 26, 1940 ~ April 19, 2012

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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:
