Title: The light grows dim: Levon Helm nears the end of this journey

His cancer is in the final stages. Over the years, I've done a number of his songs, in a number of different bands... I'm going to miss him...

Sorry to hear it. I guess that's why he canceled a concert he had scheduled in New Jersey recently. I only know his music from his days with The Band but those were formative years for me and their music was a big part of my life. I still listen to the albums (yes, on vinyl!).

Thank you, Levon--you will be remembered.

Heard a small excerpt from this recent interview, while listening to PBS Radio here in Houston tonight - PRI's The World - Levon Helm, a Kitchen in Woodstock (http://www.theworld.org/2012/04/levon-helm-a-kitchen-in-woodstock/)
