[daveabr]

one of the greatest voices and songwriters in all of blues/rock music. he will be sorely missed. got the chance to see him live a few years ago. still was putting on incredible shows.

edit: sorry, maybe this should've gone in another forum. mods, move where appropriate if need be

Gonna miss Levon. The Band was something special and it seems like not nearly enough people knew about just how good they were.

[Bo Diddles]

People know.
He'll be missed. Amazing musician.
