Leon Russell

Post by spzretent »

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.

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.
