Levon Helm
Sad news today from the music world. Levon Helm, drummer/vocalist/songwriter from The Band and the series of "Midnight Rambles" at his home in Woodstock, NY, is in the final stage of his battle with cancer. I saw this news on the Old Spokes Home website and followed this to Levon's website where I saw the news repeated. The Band is, in my opinion, one of the greatest and under-appreciated musical acts of all time. The blended perfectly American roots music with rock and soul to create something unique filled with beauty and passion.
And you know the Muppets recognized good songwriting.
