Leo LeBlanc Youtube tribute
Hi,
I've been creating some videos this week on youtube for those who'd like to hear/remember Leo's less known or unknown recordings.

All of the songs in these two clips were played on his custom Endicott double-neck...which was a rickety ride to play, it personally amazes me what he was able to do on that steel.
I plan on doing a couple more of these to include stuff he did later...we'll see.
Hope all of you are well, peace and love.
Leo's youngest son, Stephen
P.S.
this tribute site is still up but it is old and in need of some help

Wow, Leo LeBlanc!
All I knew of him was that he played on (at least the first) John Prine record in the early '70s. I was just barely starting on Hawaiian steel then, and really liked his sound.
Thanks for the post, Stephen. Any chance you will come up with a CD collection of some work by your father?

I'd love to release a collection of my dad's best work but not only do I not own the rights to most of it but it would also be a very difficult task.
For now, I'll upload what I can get away with to Youtube and/or LeoLeBlanc.us
Thanks for checking out the videos and for remembering dad's playing.

I thought this was a particularly good example of my dad's playing in 1971 so I uploaded it...

Leo LeBlanc playing "Hong Kong Hillbilly". Clarence White recorded it as a single then later recorded it as "Nashville West". Not sure which came first. Did Leo write it? (interesting side note: I believe Clarence's real name was LeBlanc later changed to White --- he was French Canadian)
