Not pejorative at all, but who started this “perfesser” stuff some months ago? One of the northeast upstate NY-Ontario boys, I suspect–and I guess it’s harmless enough. I wish I knew enough vocations of fellow Board members to coin some similar spellings, but I don’t. So all in good fun, Mr. Mordant-ator, keep those threads distinct and intact.
I must say, sir, the moniker is used with the utmost respect! 🙂

Saugerties Post Star
Posted Feb 25, 2013Saugerties, NY — (Kingston) Assemblymember Kevin Cahill (D – Ulster / Dutchess), announced today legislation that will designate New York State Route 375 as “Levon Helm Memorial Boulevard.” The road will span from the intersection of New York State Route 28 in West Hurley to the intersection of New York State Route 212 in Woodstock.
“Levon Helm was a true inspiration to not only millions of fans but our community,” Cahill said. “His Rambles became a mainstay in the town of Woodstock bringing back old soulful music worth listening to in a welcoming venue he created.”
Levon Helm Studios which was opened in 1975 brought legendary musicians to our area including Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, Phil Lesh, Kris Kristofferson, The Black Crows, and many others. With his Midnight Rambles he was able to return the music culture of Woodstock to the levels for which it was once known.
“In a world that often compromised integrity Levon Helm cultivated the tradition of professionalism with a deep respect for his craft and remained refreshingly genuine throughout his life. It is with great honor that I carry a bill that would preserve the life, career, and music of Levon Helm.”
