Leon Russell - RIP
Leon Russell, who probably helped create more music the we listened to as kids and affected how we felt about music, passed from this world sometime last night in his sleep...
Remember him for good tunes, good compositions and in general a good take on music as a part of life! |

Leon lived in Tulsa which is not too far from me. He knows a lot of folks here.
By the way.... Leon loved to drive his 560sel. I don't know if he still has it in his garage but it was not uncommon to see him tooling around town at one time. Leon was the host to a lot of rock stars that were passing through the area and he would sometimes invite the musically aspired teens in the neighborhood over when someone was visiting. Today people talk about the times during the 70's when they got a call from Leon to come over and Paul McCartney, among others, would be sitting there, giving lessons and just jamming away. Some talents have to put on an act to look cool. Leon was born cool. |

I saw Leon and Mary Russell in concert. Mary was a screamer and in my opinion she ruined the sound.
