Looks like he didn't beat his cancer after all.

I have a master copy of the album The Last Waltz.  I desremember what I paid for it back when...but it was a whole lot more than the going rate for wax in those days.  Now I don't even have the equipment to play it.  One of my favorite albums of all time.

RIP Levon. =(

The complete 2 + hour album can be found on Youtube.  Listening now..."A drunkards dream if I ever did see one...."

Ashes of laughter, the ghost is clear.
Why do the best things always disappear?

Except Helm hadn't become a sad parody of himself like Elvis.

RIP. Been listening to "the weight" a lot lately. Something comforting bout that song when you're traveling and dead tired.

Earl Scruggs died last month. Much to my chagrin, I neglected to start a thread on the subject.
