Levon Helm

“Dad and mom would have preferred that I be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, or a great humanitarian.”

“My dad and I played music. He teaches me a song or two every time I'm home.”

“If you pour some music on whatever's wrong, it'll sure help out.”

“Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.”

“I never subscribe to the stay-at-home policy. I'm not sick of the road or sick of eating in good restaurants around the country. I like to travel.”

“We're all dealt with the same hand here, so to speak. I feel like I've had it a lot better than most people. I've had the opportunity to travel and play music all my life.”
