R.I.P. Levon Helm
http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/turnitup/sc-ent-0419-levon-helm-obit-hold-20120420,0,626190.column"Levon Helm was the rarest of musical multi-taskers: an unflappable drummer and a singer who wrung soul out of every note. He also was a terrific team player and bandmate; he made the people around him sound good.
Helm was "the only drummer who could make you cry," critic Jon Carroll once wrote."
You will be remembered by all, musicians and non-musicians alike, as a great drummer, singer, and man.
