I met Lavon I think it was at the Riverboat in Yorkville. A good yak with him about Ronnie Hawkins...the dude was a champ. He lost his voice many years ago but his daughter worked with him to make it better, and it did come back. That was after the Band years. I have almost everything he ever did. The Band's last concert is a classic that I watch from time to time on DVD. RIP my friend.....
