That song, Sweet Caroline, got me into big trouble in Mexico. I met a singer from spain there and my last night there, the singer replaced the name "Caroline" with mine. My other 1/2 & the couple we were with looked at me like

The Band and Staple Singers - The Weight

(for mother's day my kids got us tickets to Levon Helm's birthday bash - at his house in Woodstock- so I'm listening to the Band - getting more and more excited every day). We get to go to a barbecue at his place and there are only about 100 people in his barn in Woodstock where a lot of historical music's been made.

This video is a classic - Richard Manuel - introduces it - sadly he and Rick Danko are gone - but Levon is still kicking even after enduring throat cancer and being unable to sing for years - he's able to sing again- that's a miracle and a blessing in itself.

aidan that is a nice song

awesome. -- for me it doesn't get any better than that, Aidan!

I'm glad you like it TTH - it's one of my favorites by them- I like the gospel influence.

Ragman - it doesn't get any better than this for me either - I've loved these guys since I heard them back Bob Dylan on Planet Waves and I think I was about fifteen when I heard that. Levon is a force of nature- I think each other THE BAND members individually was incredibly gifted in different ways - and some would say that Robbie Robertson was the star - but although I loved them each - and maybe especially Rick Danko (his voice just touched me - so plaintive) I have to admit I think Levon is the glue that held them together.

He's 68 this week-end. You should try to get tickets - it's not that far from Albany.

Here's some info about Levon and the gatherings in general (I don't know if there are tickets still available to his birthday thing - but he does them throughout the year-just google levonhelm.com)

I will check it out.. thanks

(oops...yoo late..they needed 7-10 days...and at $150 per ticket too rich for my blood...but if I had that kind of discretionary cash, if anyone's worth it....he's worth it.)

Just one more from that series:
