RIP Levon Helm.

The first time I heard this guy was listening to Bob Dylan/The band playing "Like a Rolling Stone".
The iconic military driving drum beat and distinctive voice will always be there for me.
Thanks for the memories Levon.

I remember watching and taping The Last Waltz when it aired on Ch4 many moons ago. I didn't have a clue who The Band were at the time, but one of the things that impressed me most was Helm's ability to play drums as well as he did and sing lead vocal at the same time.

Definitely one of the greats, RIP Levon
