    WindEagle got to hear him play with Joe on RMW last October. I was just re-reading the review.

    This is incredibly sad.

    Now Robbie & Garth are the only Band members still alive.

    Haven't checked the Joe on Twitter thread but here's what he had to say a bit ago.

    I'm sure they all have fond memories of making music with each other.



    If there's a rock & roll heaven, you know they've got a hell of a band. RIP Levon.

    Sirius Classic Vinyl are having wonderful tributes to him from the DJs, artists that remember working with him and they are having a spot between songs periodically honoring him.

    So many people are posting tributes on FB and elsewhere... Fellow Band member, Garth Hudson, just wrote a lovely message. I can't copy and paste it because I'm on my phone at work, but perhaps someone else can.


    you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
    you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--

    Thanks, Willie.

    One of my service users just switched onto another TV channel and the credits of a film were rolling. I happened to look up and the first name I saw was Levon Helm. The universe is a funny place...
