What a wonderful obit by Malcolm Jones.

I remember reading the rave Rolling Stone review of Music from Big Pink. That day, I stopped into Woolworths to pick up some thread for something I was making. I stopped at the 99 cent album bin just to look around. There it was -- The Band's first album for 99 cents (!), thus beginning my own long running love affair with Roots and Americana music wrapped up into Rock and Folk music. They were revolutionary then and they still are.

Levon was such a wonderful presence. Wonderful voice, great chops -- He had it all. He and Rick and Richard are jammin' now. That's for sure!

Thanks for posting this Will.
