For me, Levon Helm is one of the all-time great musicians. Besides his phenomenal drum skills combined with his soulfull Southern voice, he brought music that touched the heart directly. So pure, enlightening, fragile and powerful at the same time. Levon Helm brought real life to the stage with his music in a humble way and full of gentleness. The joy for the music and letting the other band members excel. All that was Levon at his very best. Thank you Levon of what you gave me and the world. You are a jewel that I will cherish forever.

And James Taylor being as gentle as always.

We flew to LaGuardia Halloween 2010, rented a car, and went to Levon's Barn/Home/Studio for his Midnight Ramble... Never forget it. Jesse Winchester was the Guest. Levon was not in good shape; he played and sang his heart out. Flew back the next day...

Levon, oh what a voice like a brick threw a picture window, unmistakeable.
