I had no idea he was co founder of the Band, but he is played on Outlaw Country on Sirius all the time, he sounds as if he was 91. Has some really good songs tho.:sadangel:

May he rest in peace and be blessed my God. I always liked his singing style.:sadangel:

I was always hoping to get up to one of his "Midnight Rambles".

Looks like I waited too long, but I didn't know his cancer had come back.

RIP Levon. :sadangel:

Rompin Ronnie Hawkin's band used to play around here all the time when I was a kid, with the lone American, Levon on the skins, in an all Canadian band. He's packed up his kit much to early. RIP Levon :sadangel:
