I had money to go to a Band show at the Flood Zone in Richmond but I would have had to weather a,pouring rain to wait for a bus to get there one of my life's greatest regrets!!!

I'm a musician...and met levon ...don't remember what year at the lone star cafe in manhatten...he was with rick danko and they'd played there the night before. forever after that night, whenever they'd play some sort of festival in the summertime...they'd ask the promotor to put me on the bill. bless. i'll always love and miss them both....i'm with YOU absolutely the best! ps...i got kisses too. and stuff up my nose. dammmmmmm.

He was in some videos with Bruce Hornsby too.

That's because he is a drummer ..

ya seem kinda tense Mr. Branham. He's holding up one finger to indicate that the song is on the root chord, and a four or five to indicate that the song is on the fourth or fifth chord. So if the song is in the key of G, it's the 1 and C is the 4 (four notes away) and D is the 5 (5 notes away). He doesn't actually have to be playing an instrument but he knows the song and some of the band does not, so he's telling them what chord is being played.

mrsweettater All they have to know is the key...if they understand how keys work then they shouldn't have to be told what the root is or any of the notes in it or in what order they come in that particular key. If anything he's trying to show the drummer the time signature he wants to do it in ...which would make sense I guess because I don't believe the Waylon Jennings version is quite that fast and being that it's the original it was probably what they were familiar with.

So how long have you been playing? All the bands I've played in indicate the chords as 1, 4 and 5 or whatever chord they're doing. It's like musical short hand. Maybe we're just all wrong.

mrsweettater I'm not particularly advanced in theory but I know enough to get by. That's kind of theory 101 though so its more than likely the first thing you're going to learn...or at least it should be. If you know the fretboard and know the notes that make up each chord ...then you already know most of what you need to know about keys. It's why keys are so useful to understand."..you won't need to even bother communicating the names of the individual notes or the order in which they fall. Super useful and time conserving. Honestly though I don't think he was doing anything...it appears he's just dancing with his hands so to speak if that makes any sense lol.

YES!!!

"Changed my beer...."..."CHANGED MY BEER???"..Lord help y'all...!

+Slapsy Maxsy as wrong as that lyric is, I Love it.

LOL, yes, I think normaly it's " she shaves my beard " but "changed my beer" is even better ;-) .

That's what bill Clinton says lol

Mr. Roach Steve?

Coal Miners Daughter ring a bell?

I am a big fan! But you are getting carried away

What Susan means to tell you it Levon played Ted Webb in Coal Miners Daughter. He has 20 movie credits... go to IMDB and look him up.

Hi Jay, You had a bit to do with Buck Dollar as I recall. I was the Biscuit festival director. Hope you are well!

@@georgehays5857 Hey George! Hanging in there. I hope you are well, too. I've got some great black and white film footage of this performance. Miss Levon every day.

@@georgehays5857 I had not watched this in a long time - I think that might be me who comes in at the very end to talk to LH.
