Unrelated but a little story about Levon Helm. I have a friend named Starla who is a dancer and bit part actress who used to live a couple of doors down and now lives out of state. As a child she played in a movie called The Dollmaker with Jane Fonda and Levon as their daughter. She kept in touch periodically with Levon. One day about 7 or 8 years ago, I was at her house when the phone rang and she was busy with one of the kids so screamed for me to get it, it was him. I about fainted. He was going to be in Chicago and wanted to know if her and hubby would like to come over and meet up with him. Of course I knew he had played in the movie but all I could think of was I'm talking to a member of The Band! He was really nice and funny.
Sorry, I digress. Just had to name drop a bit. Anyways, on with the thread topic....
