Wow, I haven’t heard that name in years. I saw him live in 1977 at the Starview Summer Jam in Hellam, PA along with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee and Johnny Hartford.
He was in Galway for the Arts Festival a good few years ago. Great gig. Said he was walking home down an alley in New Orleans when a girl came up to him and said she’d do anything he wanted for twenty dollars. “So i gave her the twenty. Now she’s painting my house.”

As if I need yet another reason to visit this blog, you’ve given me the treat of Leon Redbone.
Ta, Robber Man.

I saw Leon Redbone live in 1985. Opening act for George Carlin. Two great tastes that taste great together.
