You might enjoy reading a recap of the Levon Helm Ramble with GPN as guests last night ( Saturday, 1/9/10 ) .. http://bit.ly/5B7VsF

Lisa, if you liked that recap of Levon Helm's Ramble . . read this one . .
the author's passion for music is real . . the emotions honest . .

excerpt . . . .

" Levon and the band stroll in from the sides and take their places behind their respective instruments. Levon’s simple smile lights up the room – completely. If you know this man, his history, his music at all – just watching him sit down and drum set and flash that grin brings enough emotional heat to make you forget about the logistics of being here, the close to zero weather, everything. They kick into “Shape I’m In” as an opener and I’m gone into the zone. I think of all those legendary rock bands who you would have loved to see in their prime. The Stones, The Beatles, Zeppelin, Dylan, but here we have something else. A guy whose music helped define Americana. Who wrote and vocalized tunes that are still part of the soundtrack of my life and here I am, in his house for god sakes. It’s like a personal invitation to validate the love, effort and money I’ve spent on music for over 30 years and I take it and absorb it. Could you imagine Mick Jagger or Paul McCartney asking you over to their house to hear some music? No? Me neither. Yet here we are in a musical mecca in the hills of Woodstock and I feel like Levon’s doing this for me. "

ETA : .. from a comment left on Van's recap today . . .

" I couldn’t believe how tiny the place is. There is a door that leads from Levon’s living room to the stage. The place is actually part of Levon’s house. He lives in the back and upstairs. "
