in Dublin tonight.
He was from Elaine, Arkansas, East of Pine Bluff along the Miss. River. He started with Ronnie Hawkins band in Fayetteville in the late 50s and they moved to Canada and became famous.
I was in the U of A then but I didn't party and went to George's Lounge only infrequently, so I was not really an active fan. Apparently a lot of Irish are Levon Helm fans. This is the 3rd annual tribute show here.
