photoshop disaster? thats hilarious. Levon can play the drums as well as the mandolin as well as a guitar, as well as harmonica. Head size might be an issue but I wouldn’t doubt any instrument you see in or near his person being playable by him.
Bring Levon on!

It’s an electric mandolin. Much smaller than a geetar. However, Levon is rumored to be packin’ 12″. No photoshop enhancement needed. Makes me proud to be an Arkansan.

@imaidiot We’re working on it.
@unicorn You’re right. It is kinda weird, isn’t it?

I think we’ve found a new meme: photos that look like photoshop disasters but are sadly real. Don’t look too close.

When can we expect the Flyer to have a contest for tickets? I think the first person to have asked for a contest should get them.

Whoote! Levon is easily one of my top 100 favorite singers that sounds like a frog.

If I’m not mistaken, he’s playing an solid-body, electric mandolin. Count the strings. If you come up with a number higher than four, you see more than I do.

@unicorn Not seeing it.

Photoshop what? Is Levon playing a guitar, or is that some kind of fancy electrical mandolin? Never seen him play guitar, but I’m sure he can do it.

Levon Helm is one of the greatest rock and roll practitioners of all time. We’re lucky he’s still loyal to Arkansas and the Stratton family, or Fayetteville wouldn’t be a stop on this tour. He’ll have family in the audience, and old friends. We’ll get the best show of the tour.

You think Chik-Fil-A on MLK is awesome. This is Levon Helm. A National Treasure and an Arkansas Diamond. His dad was even named Diamond.
