Helm ready to Ramble

Dec 18, 2010 5:03 am
Kyle Wind in The Daily Freeman reports Woodstock-based singer and drummer for The Band Levon Helm was released from a New York City hospital Thursday night and returned to his Woodstock home, according to his manager Barbara O’Brien. “He’ll be at this Saturday’s Ramble, but he’ll be pacing himself accordingly,” O’Brien told the Freeman, referring to the Saturday night performances Helm gives at his home. “Steve Jordan, legendary drummer and great friend of Levon’s, will join us. We’ll set up two drum kits, and they’ll play side by side, often, throughout the night." The 70-year-old musician missed last Saturday’s Midnight Ramble because of the cold that forced him to the hospital.
