Title: Levon Helm
Post by: Hajo on April 19, 2012, 06:42:13 PM: Levon Helm the drummer and guitarist for The Band died today.

The Band was a smash in the late 60s and early 70s.

The Weight, Up on Cripple Creek just a few of the hits The Band made.

They were originaly the backup band to Bob Dylan professionaly after
a few years of playing in barns and Bars.

I shall miss him....as I miss The Band.

And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, na."

RIP Levon Helm

RIP.
