Levon and a Free Tote Bag?

From Jambase:

On most Saturday nights since January 2004, Levon Helm has hosted evenings of music at the “barn,” his home studio in Woodstock, New York. These magical nights are called The Midnight Ramble Sessions. On September 17, 2008, Helm took the Midnight Ramble on the road to one of America’s treasured venues, Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, where — accompanied by such luminaries as Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Sheryl Crow and Sam Bush — the Levon Helm Band gave birth to a night of stage magic. Captured in pristine high definition Levon Helm – Ramble at the Ryman is part of special programming airing on PBS in August 2009.

The performance is a veritable tour through the American songbook, featuring tunes from Helm’s tenure with The Band, as well as selections from the 2008 Grammy winning Dirt Farmer and classics from artists such as Chuck Berry, The Carter Family and more.

Here is an excerpt:

Midday Ramble on the Road…

The midday ramble is taking the show on the road this weekend for a visit to New York City to see Levon Helm (of Midnight Ramble fame). The Levon Helm Band will be appearing at The Beacon Theater, Friday & Saturday nights, March 7th and 8th at 8 pm. Ollabelle will be opening both shows.

Note: Although Timber won’t be making this trip, he will be there in spirit.

Ohhhh….it all makes sense now.

Was just checking out Levon’s website for some updates on the real Ramble. It looks like he’s made some significant updates to the FAQ section. And suddenly, I’m starting to realize what the Dude was losing his shit about that fateful night. See for yourself…

Dude, my apologies. You had every reason to be upset.

It’s true. All good things must come to an end. As long as Mr. Phenomenal has a say.
