[Rhodes22-list]"The Band" was Define: Lee Helm

[Brad Haslett]

Slim,

I flew  client of mine that was in the musician bus leasing business from
Little Rock to Memphis about 1978 or so to watch a Lee Helm concert.  I
don't remember much about the concert but do remember sitting around the
hotel room after the show with  Mr. Helm and his band members.  They invited
me to participate in some activities that people who fly airplanes don't
participate in, but I enjoyed being a "fly on the wall" anyway.  Where is he
these days?

Brad

PS - Leaving for Destin this morning to get Cora's feet wet in the Gulf -
maybe even get some sailing in.
