One of the best, and swingin'est, IMHO.

What a great player he was! Terrific tone, enviable right-hand!

They were an animated bunch, weren't they? (Nice to see a very early Jazzmaster, too.)

Thanks Herb. Good morning for listening to non-pedal steel!

Thanks for posting Herb! What a great period of Steel Guitar that was. You are right Roger, uncanny blocking.

Love it! What a great player and a great showman he was. I saw Leon play in 1981. Such a class act and a wonderful stage presence.

That was great,he reminds me of the showmanship that Robert Randolph has in modern times.

So exciting to watch, wish more players could be as enthusiastic and animated as Leon was many many years ago!

What a great piece of history. Leon was such a cool performer.
