He also played Gen Jeb Stuart In the Electric Mist.
And he made his acting debut in the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter." He played Loretta Lynn's father.
Levon's wake was open to the public and so many people, including myself, paid our respects to Levon. He gave so much to our town. He played many benefits and did many acts kindness. He was well loved. The main road into Woodstock is named after him: "Levon Helm Boulevard."
