That’s a very touching note about The Band. I agree. It was a really sad day when Levon Helm died. I’ve loved their music since first hearing it many years ago. I recall watching The Last Waltz back in college, in a big auditorium at UCSB. First time I realized what they were all about. Big Pink is almost always on my rotation.
Take care of yourself…

I cried when I learned that Levon Helm passed. The Band got me through so much in my life. Levon lived ten years longer than the doctors told him he would. But in the final analysis, he was too beautiful for this world. R.I.P.

My fiance’s mother, Carolyn, grew up with Levon; he was a good friend of her older brother. When I asked her what he was like, she replied, “He is every bit as beautiful as his music.” Sadly, we lost our sweet Carolyn a year ago yesterday. When Levon gets to where he’s going, he’ll have an old friend waiting for him.

They were my favorite Band.
I saw them in concert more often
than any other back in the day.
I had the honor this week of doing
an L H under a little pink house on
another big-time Band fan.
Thanks for your lovely memories.
