The Shape I'm In...Levon Helm RIP

This is ridiculous, 2 death blog posts in one day?!?!?!  Levon Helm, we loved you and your raged voice and unique style of drumming. You were in the first All-Starr band with Ringo, now Clarence has someone to keep the beat up there with him.  Clarence was also in the first band.  It's hard to believe that there are only 2 members of The Band still around and both of them really don't do anything anymore.  I would check out Levon's latest release, Ramble at the Ryman, a live CD and DVD featuring many Band classics and special guests like Sheryl Crow and John Hyatt.  I saw you in 2008 when you came out for the encore at the Radio City Music Hall show with Ringo and played With A Little Help From My Friends on his drum kit.  He was excited, so was I.  You will be sorely missed Levon, have fun up on cripple creek.

Jimmy Buffett played "The Weight" at his Texas concert last night to honor Levon.  It sounded pretty good if anyone else was listening in on Radio Margaritaville, the band took turns singing the verses.  Good job Peter and Mac.
