Around 1981, the Levon Helm band came to play at McGill University's ballroom in Montreal, and I went with my girlfriend. We both liked The Band and were curious. Best dance band ever! Levon just had great spirit and musicianship.

I got to see him in Boston when he was still not well enough to sing but was playing drums,(His daughter Amy sang in the band.) I was sitting on the stage about 7 or 8 ft away from him, just groovin' the whole night. Every now and again he'd play a cool fill and kind of look over with a smile and a wink like, "Yep, still got it." Such a blessing to be there in that space and time. Thanks God! That was a great night;)

“In the whole history of Rock and Roll, no one ever had a greater encore than Levon Helm...” I took some Art Classes about 25 years ago; Drawing, Painting, Color & Design... in one segment the Professor showed us some paintings from the late 19th Century. They were ‘breath taking’ in beauty and majesty. They showed some ‘Landscapes’ out in the ‘Old West’ and invariably the artist had shown the land with a ‘shaft of sunlight’ (shining down through ‘parted clouds’). It looked like a Spot Light. The professor explained that the paintings were used by land developers to ‘Sell the West’... Remember when... I think it might have been Horace Greely encouraged, “Go West Young Man”? Well these paintings helped with that. They were truly beautiful but the Art Community developed an antipathy for the ‘artistic use’ of sunlight in that manner - they began to call it, “God Light”. They were being snide and sarcastic but the description was (and I think still is) apt. ‘God Light’ is real! I’ve seen it ‘for real’ a couple of times - usually out somewhere away from people, no one else around but me... It IS beautiful! Sounds to me like Mr. Helm was... had a little ‘God Light’ in him...

Music is supposed to lift one's spirits, and nobody was better at that for me than The Band. I keep Music from Big Pink and the brown album in my car all the time. If I'm having a bad day, I'll click on Rag Mama or The Weight and that brightens my day. I wonder if Levon knows how many millions of people brighten their days by listening to one of those songs. I hope he did. A terrific musician and a better man, by all accounts. Would have loved to meet him and spend an hour talking to him. Maybe in the next life?

I only saw evon once, in Newrleans a few years ago .The sound of his snare drum was like no other drummer that I have ever heard in my 69 years: not loud, but it had a signature that made the rest of the musicians all sound great. They must make a film on 'The Life and Music of Levon Helms'.

Eric Clapton has been good friends with Robbie Robertson for many many years. he even had him on one of the Crossroads events. if you watch real carefully on the Last Waltz by the Band. Eric and Robbie are performing a song and they were facing each other. and as Eric starts in a solo his guitar strap comes unhooked. and Robbie continues the solo while Eric gets his strap reconnected. and hands the solo back to Eric it was pretty AWESOME. that was back in the good old days times in which we will never see again. unfortunately music has changed I don't think we will ever see performances like those again no doubt.

I can't help but say you made a mistake. not to take anything away from Rush. but if I had to make the decision to go see The Band and Levon Helm. I would have had to have given it some thought. but I ultimately would have decided to go see The Band and Levon Helm. that's probably because The Band had more influence on me and my music. a lot more than a lot more than most other groups no doubt.
