Re: Rest In Peace Levon Helm
Absolutely gutted over here. Incalculable influence on me.
Some words from Garth:
"LEVON HELM LEFT US TODAY AT 1:30 PM, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 2012. I AM TERRIBLY SAD. THANK YOU FOR 50 YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP AND MUSIC. MEMORIES THAT LIVE ON WITH US. NO MORE SORROWS, NO MORE TROUBLES, NO MORE PAIN. HE WENT PEACEFULLY TO THAT BEAUTIFUL MARVELOUS WONDERFUL PLACE. HE WAS BUDDY RICH'S FAVORITE ROCK DRUMMER ... AND MY FRIEND. LEVON, I'M PROUD OF YOU."- Garth
Robbie Robertson has not released an official statement (yet) but it was really nice to read he spent a good long time with Levon over the weekend. Hopefully they buried the hatchet.
Go easy Levon. I know that Richard and Rick are up in there just dying to jam again.
