Never heard of him.

Never heard of the Band either, must live a sheltered life.

Sad, sad news. He used to invite all kinds of musicians up to his place at woodstock, sell a couple hundred tickets and jam all night long ( you were encouraged to bring a covered dish to put out on the buffet for supper). I only made it to three of them, but It was the some of the best three nights of my life. These events were called "the midnight ramble". It still can't comprehend I'll never see another one.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Helm. You've crossed that river.


Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

Levon Helm played Ted Webb (Loretta Lynn's Father) in the movie Coal Miner's Daughter.

I guess I would have been a fourth generation coal miner if I had gone that route. My Great Grandfather, Grandfather, and Father were all coal miners at different times and places.

One of the benefits of working on audio products is that I get to listen to music in the guise of working.

Hard not to AND hard to listen to him today.

Levon had a great bit part in Tommy Lee Jones' movie, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, too! If you haven't seen it, you need to do so.

I have a few of his songs on my iPod, but the best is his performance of "Deep Elem Blues" live at the Ryman Auditorium.

I'll miss him for sure.

Levon Helm also played the part of the ghost of Confederate General Hood in the 2009 Tommy Lee Jones movie "In the Electric Mist".
