We just received word that Levon brought home a Grammy for his recent release Electric Dirt, so we made a spontaneous decision to stop the presses, rewrite the Dear Readers, and offer this: our heartfelt congratulations. It’s hard to accurately describe how I—and many others—have been influenced by Levon; there are so many layers and levels that come to mind. He’s the first guy I ever saw sing and play drums, and do both with real feeling. When I saw The Band on TV it was revelatory, each member was so gifted and on point, and I was hooked (especially by Garth Hudson’smatch wicked PMS2 wah-wah76U clavinet.) But I also saw very clearly that the beating heart of The Band was Levon, and that heart—and that voice—wasC1 0from0 the South. M100 Having spent half my life in the Mississippi Delta involved in learning about andK5 making0 music, I can tell you this truthfully: a proper blues shuffle is one of the most elusive and easily mangled drum techniques Sushi in the world, and almost every successful practitioner of the art is from the Delta, or has spent significant time there. Original Arkansan Levon Helm’s shuffle has a pocket deep as the Big Muddy. And his time? You could build a house on it. Gomen Kudasai color ad Levon is one of the first people I met here, six years ago. A band from 2/1/10 Memphis I was producing had made contact with him through an Arkansas Bar connection, and booked a week at his home studio for overdubs. I was 3 1/2"W x 9 7/8"D C90 only able to be present for one day of sessions, but I’ll never forget it. Later in theM evening,90 some friends came by, as did his daughter Amy, and IS COMING we all hadK an30 impromptu jam in the barn. Somebody told me the piano I was playing once belonged to Richard Manuel. I felt spiritually blessed that evening, especially when Levon smiled at me with an attaboy wink. This ranks as an all-time favorite life moment, and sealed it for me; we PLEASE moved here months later. Since then I’ve been to a few Rambles, and if you haven’t been to one yet, you really need to get over to one soon. It’s just amazing how Levon JOIN US opens his home and hearth to the public, how close you are to him as he plays and sings, how amazing the band—with special guests—always is. (Visit www.levonhelm.commatch PMS15 8forU information and tickets.) M65 But what most inspires me about Levon is how he keeps on keeping on. FOR THE He’s survivedY80 the travails of the brutal music business, fought cancer to a standstill, and found success on his own terms…all while continuing to make some of the best music of his career. His “Kid’s Rambles” raise funds for school programs, and he’s also been a good friend to the local OPENING ON farming community. I still want to be like him when I grow up. Folks, I apologize. I realize I have been talking a lot about myself in this missive. But this is the eleventh hour (more like 11:45), and the only FEB 15TH person available to interview about this was…uh, me. Sorry about that. But this is what we do: celebrate the good folks among us who make this a special place to live and work, and honor their contributions, and @5:00PM acknowledge their inspiration. So Levon—from all of us at Roll—congratulations on your much-deserved honor. Thanks for the great, honest music you make, and your generosity BE ST OF HUDSON VALLEY of spirit. And thanks for inspiring this kid to keep on keeping on.
