Take a Load Off Fanny

Levon Helm at OSFM Blue Jean Gala

March 17, 2012

Well take a load off, Fanny.

The late, great, Levon Helm from the Band brought his famous Midnight Ramble sessions to the Old Town School of Folk Music in March, 2012, for their annual Blue Jean Gala, and it was a night to be cherished. He passed away just a month later at the age of 71.

Levon Helm was known for his deeply soulful, gravely voice, his multi-instrumental ability and creative drumming style. He also had a successful career as a film actor, and authored a book.

Helm's Midnight Rambles are based loosely on the southern medicine shows of his youth, inviting a who's who of rock, blues and jazz to his barn in Woodstock, New York, for loose, yet musically inspired jams. Special guests included Donald Fagen, Paul Barrere, Fred Tackett, and Shawn Mullins, Larry Campbell, Teresa Williams and Amy Helm.

Magellan Corporation has realized many benefits through our partnership with the Old Town School of Folk Music, and this evening numbers among the best of them.
