Dear Friends, Levon is in the final stages of his battle with cancer. Please send your prayers and love to him as he makes his way through this part of his journey.

Thank you fans and music lovers who have made his life so filled with joy and celebration... he has loved nothing more than to play, to fill the room up with music, lay down the back beat, and make the people dance! He did it every time he took the stage...

We appreciate all the love and support and concern. From his daughter Amy, and wife Sandy

“Our” era is fast coming to a close. As the song says “They should never have taken the very best”.

I highly recommend his book, “This Wheel’s On Fire”. Both his story, and the story of The Band.

Read it a while back. It gets into the song writing royalties....Levon said Robbie ripped the others off

Not yet. But we’ve had our moments. Ran the last Yankee mayor out of town...actually proposed eliminating gun replicas at Civil War reenactments.

Some people that get elected are just retarded.

Hopefully no more yankees will get elected to office. You should get a majority “born in the South” city council and pass an ordinance that to hold office you must be Southern born and RAISED.
