We went Live with Lee Sklar one of the most storied and successful musicians to ever grace a stage or session, and holy hell! Kicking off the show with a kick ass Phil Collins tune... we launched into everything Leland... how he started... where he went, and loads of the inbetween. Meeting James Taylor, being managed by Bill Graham, The Wrecking Crew playing for him, and a few years later playing with them, weekly. Billy Cobham, playing with James, Carole King, Russ Kunkel, Danny Kortchmar, forming The Section... Tapestry... meeting Paul the McCartney one, playing with Barbra, the oft misunderstood, TV with ex-manager Mike Post, lots of TV, loads of sessions, the world then, the world now, The Facebook, how it works and how it hurts, players to love, memories to cherish, Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, from Wembley to pub clubs, all he wants to do is play... Jackson Browne, Phil Collins- getting goosebumps, every night...NAMM, Reba, Clint, Cocker, Ronstadt, Garfunkle, Stills, Nash and the Crosby... without rhyme but with plenty of reason, we talked his art, his preferences, passions, kitsch, friends lost and treasured... we were all over the place... a crazy fun ride landing us back to the bottom... it's all about his bass... a great Lyle Lovett tune, That's Right (You're Not From Texas) brought us close to home... Judith Owen... The Immediate Family (with Kunkel, Kortchmar, Wachtel and Postell) , the upcoming album, and the Denny Tedesco upcoming doc... loved every single precious second. Gifted player, beautiful person. What a treasure this time was. Grateful and thoroughly entertained. Thank you, Sklar, sir.
