So last night I watched The Last Waltz for the first time. If you're familiar with the Band, you know they spent a lot of time in Woodstock, New York (the town, not the farm) and the late Levon Helm stayed there permanently, eventually starting the 'midnight ramble' concerts on Saturday nights in his barn.

Today a client called, but the boss was on the phone so I started taking a message. I'd always thought he was in Arizona, but it had been mentioned that he was in New York, so I asked. He said he was in Woodstock, NY. For the heck of it, I asked if he'd ever been to a midnight ramble. There was a silence, then 'you know what that is? I've been 3 times.' I explained I'd just seen The Last Waltz and he said the rambles were like that, except smaller in scale. But it's quite a coincidence, I must say.

Watching it right now, for the first time. I had no idea that the Palladia Channel existed, probably because it's HD only and I don't generally search those channels, but go directly to the one I want. (It's the SD stations where I mosey along.) Looks like some cool stuff, although being HD only I'll have to take care not to overload the DVR.

Anyway, they ran The Last Waltz a few times recently in honor of Levon Helm and I was able to record it. Wow, the 70s. But damn they could play. Digging this mightily.
