How about some good vibes for one of my heroes: the great Levon Helm, who's now on his deathbed?

Ahhhh **** .... You know he was present and playing when the first dance move, we now call the "moon walk" was performed.

I was sad to hear that, but at least he seems to have found peace. Many of my favorites are already mentioned so I'll post a couple that are apropos. Thanks for the music Levon, you won't be soon forgotten.

I don't usually repeat my answers but someone posted about Levon earlier and I think my answer there fits here-

What?? Deathbed?
That's terrible.
The Weight remains one of my favorite Band songs.

Hey now Neal. Omg...I did not know that. Always been a fan of Levon's. From the Band to his solo stuff. I'm thinking of you Levon and you are in my prayers :)

Oh, that's so sad !! What a "rock" of the "unique" & remarkable Music, written in those days; as well as the "forever" touring & spritie of The Band...
Not mention a tremendous actor(!!) in Coal Miner's Daughter & The Right Stuff
He is in my prayers....
