What a miserable week and year.
Leon Russell was a monster musician who played with so many. George Harrison, Bob Dylan, The Byrds among others.
Much like Dr. John but more Okie and less Bayou.
Rest in peace Leon.

Re: Leon Russell
It has indeed been a horrific year; and another great musician lost. I was lucky enough to meet Leon Russell through an old school friend who lived nearby and knew him. We went to the local Dairy-Queen for a snack, and Leon Russell drove up in an enormous Pink Cadillac Convertible. It doesn't seem such a long time ago. Anyway, that is when I first met him.
I am very saddened by the loss of this great musician; and the Happy memories of that time are overshadowed by this loss. He was a very kind and polite man with a quick wit and a wonderful sense of humor. And what a Talent.
RIP Leon.

RIP Master of Space and Time. I got to see him in a road house bar way out in Magnolia NW of Houston in 2006, epic in a word.
