So obviously, not a Phish related post, but I feel it's important for our awesome little board to acknowledge the passing of one of the most iconic voices of all time.  Plus being a killer drummer and mandolin player, Levon Helm was one of my favourite musicians, probably you guys too.

I totally agree, I had the privilege of seeing the Levon Helm Band at Mountain Jam 2010 and it was a concert I will never forget . Was an icon for sure and I will miss him a lot.
