"Anna Lee" and "The Weight" Performed by Levon Helm
Two recent numbers to remember a man who "fused rock, blues, folk and gospel to create a sound that seemed as authentically American as a Mathew Brady photograph or a Mark Twain short story" — Levon Helm, key member of The Band, dies at 71. May he rest in peace.
Labels: America the Beautiful, Folk Music, Passings, Rock 'n' Roll

As usual, you are in tune with the music in my ears. I heard "The Weight" in the car today while driving to that conference I had invited you to!
Hopefully next year you can make it. It'll be upstate.
Cheers!
