13 years ago today Levon Helm left us for the Celestial Midnight Ramble. A giant in American music. An influential voice on the soundtrack of my youth. I'm confident he's sitting behind a kit somewhere. Jude Autry carries his name.

I pulled in to Nazareth
Was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need someplace
Where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me
Where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand
NO was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And
You put the load right on me
