Just saw Leon in Rockford, IL last week. It was a great concert! Songs I'd like to hear Leon sing: "Dream a Little Dream of Me;" "Pennies from Heaven;" "Beedle-um-bum" [that's a Jim Kweskin song].

I recently got my parents old record player and discovered they're albums. Among them was "Double Time" by an artist I was not too familur with. After listening, I became entranced. I hunted down other albums, put them on tapes and shared them with my friends. I really enjoy your music and hope I can catch you in concert some time soon. :-)

Hello, my name is Buffie Rodman and my father is a big fan of Mr. Leon Redbone. He has always enjoyed his music and has spoken of him frequently. I had been living in Orlando, Florida in the year of 95 and was working along with my significant other downtown in Orlando at a Rock N'Roll establishment called Jami Lane's Sunset Strip and Mr. Leon Redbone happened to be there that night and my significant other was able to get an autograph made out to my father on a matchbook. I still have that to this day and keep it with me so it does not get misplaced. I came across this site recently and logged onto the upcoming appearances and one is listed as the Muncie Civil Theater on November 13, 2004. I will mention it to my father and I am sure he would enjoy attending. Thank You, Buffie Rodman

Hey, I hope you remember your show in Everett, Washington when my Dad and I managed to sneak back stage and meet you. You were cutting up cantelope and eating it with a knife. I just wanted to say how wonderful it was that you were so kind to us and spoke to us as long as you did. My father introduced me to your music years ago. He came 250 miles to see you play that night and I thought it would be really special for him to meet you, so we snuck backstage to meet and I could tell that it was one of the most exciting moments of my father's life. thanks again for being so kind and signing the poster for my dad. I know that neither of us will ever forget it. I hope the rest of your tour goes well and I hope that you continue to make the amazing music that you've made for so long. Peace be with you. -Ephraim Brown

My step dad died a long time ago, and he didn't leave much behind. One of the things he left me was his music collection. I used to listen to your "On the track" tape and think of my dad. I lost it about 10 years ago and couldn't find another copy. I am so glad I found your website. Trying to talk my husband into seeing you in Akron...Wish me luck...A long lost fan...

Your show in Napa Sept. 9 was awesome...just not long enough. I brought your CD's home with me and now my daughter and grandaughter are hooked on your soulfilled renditions, proof that your music spreads all generations. Your pianist and Coronet player were great. Is there anything available that you have recorded with them? Looking forward to your next California tour!

Been a fan since Saturday Night Live days. Not only a great singer but quite the accomplished guitar player. I am trying to figure out the guitar for Leon's rendition of "Ain't Misbehavin'". What a master of great music.(Leon that is) Thank you Mr Leon Redbone for so many years of pure music pleasure!

Hi! I am a youngun from Toronto, and an enthusiast of both Bluegrass and genuine Jazz. I just recently stumbled across "On The Track" having never heard of Leon Redbone before, and I was wowed! I love your music, it's funny and enjoyable and a great reconstruction of the old greats. So I have two very importnat question: Why has no one in this your hometown ever heard of you, and why haven't you performed here in so long? There are plenty opportunities, from Jazz festivals to mass concerts. COME BAAAAAACK!!!

It's TORTURE knowing you've got Leon all to yourselves across the pond. Oh Please put him on a boat with a blanket for a sail and let your English cousins enjoy him for a bit. It's a long time since Leon's band 'got drownded in the Atlantic' on their way over to the Isle of Wight. So would you mind awfully if Leon could just pop over for an afternoon. We'll feed him buttered scones and jasmine tea. From your English cousins

Leon, love your music. Was based in Atlanta with an airline years back, early in your career. Would bid my trips around your performances. Attended every performance you gave in Georgia years ago. The club name escapes me, but had oriental carpet on the floor, no chairs, and audience sat on the carpet. You performed on a small stage with a wooden swing as part of your set. Been a fan ever since I discovered you there in Ga. Named my dog Leon Redbone after you, ha. He is a beauty....Redbone hound & he sings to me too. Its so difficult for musicians to develope a unique style of their own, which captivates ones soul with a magical almost undefinable quality and uniqueness, which You have managed to do quite well. Love your work. Wish you continued success and happiness.

If you haven't already taken the opportunity to catch Leon live, do so, it's a treat you soon won't forget.Pure magic. Thanks Leon! I took my parents to see you in New Jersey a few years back. That was nice. You are a fabulous musician & I enjoy turning my friends on to your music. I have your CD's playing in my tattoo studio a lot! Come to New York for some shows! I'd love to see you perform again. Lots of Love.... Butch

I can't believe one of my favourite musical artists has a picture of fruit pastilles on his website, it isn't cool or funny just a VERY big let down. You wouldn't see Tom Waits or someone with more dignity allow this on their site.

My first experience with L.R. was "I want to be seduced" and I'm looking for more. I was always more into R&R especially Jerry Lee. I do a lot of his songs in clubs. Looking for more L.R. but it's hard in Montreal. Is there a site where I can order ?

Hi ya Leon, I was looking to getting tickets for Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks this Sat. at the Palms, it lead me to the Crest website (where I produced a benefit concert in 93) and lo and behold there you were - planning to come and play in Sept. I've been a fan for decades and every year your CD dominates my xmas play list. So looking forward to catching you there; probably one of the finest playhouses in all the West, acoustically so sweet. Take care Leon. F.

My wife, of thirty-five years, is not into music. The only LPs I was ever asked to buy for her were Leon Redbone�s in the late �70s. When I told her Leon was coming to the Wildwood Springs Lodge in Steelville Missouri (a favorite haunt of ours) she squealed! Hope to see a lot of you there, September 19th, 04.

Hello Mr. Redbone, so glad to have seen you at Ram's Head in my home town in Annapolis MD again recently. Truly you are a one of a kind! So many of my friends have been turned on to your music by my CD collection that I can't count them all. I work with my friend Tony who makes very high end custom pool cues here in College Park, and who also resembles you very much! He told me also that once he was fishing in a row boat in the Chesapeake Bay when he was approached by a motorboat full of guys who said "come on Leon, give us an autograph please". Tony also tells me that when you play at Ram's Head next, we will be there and he will make a bit of an effort to resemble you in outfit as well. Just for fun, ya know. This will be interesting! Take it lightly!

Mr. Redbone, I don't know if you read these, but I just wanted to say I think you're music has changed me. I like listening to vinyl, so one day i was looking in my usual LP store, and i purchased "On The Track"... which is now my favourite album ever. And on a whim, today I searched up your name on google to find some great news: youre still alive and well! This makes my day. Thanks for the great music. E-mail me if you can, it'd be great. Thanks a ton Jason Walsh Halifax, NS

Been a BIG Leon Redbone fan since the 70's. Once caught a performance by Leon at the Minnesota Symphony Hall in Minneapolis. Distinctive music that one can't help by tap the feet to. Love "Sheik of Araby"...have always felt there was a distinct sexual connection with that one, Leon. "Pffft". Right?

Dear Mr. Redbone, Just want you to know that my husband and I really love your music. We had the great opportunity to see you perform but it has been long time ago. We have all your albams but the one I hold most dear is your Christmas Island album. I have baked Christmas cookies to that album for as long as I can remember. HA HA I just sung that song for my Dad the other night as we played our Ukuleles and he loved it. I'm trying to get the lyrics to that song for there is one phrase that I just can't make out. I am putting the Ukulele cords to it so we can enjoy it at strummers class. Anyway, Keep making great music, we love you and hope to see you again sometime. Margie Sweetland.

It was a real pleasure for me to be able to shake your hand when you visited us at the Martin Guitar Co. As soon as I saw you coming through on tour, I knew immediately who you were, and had to come by to say Hi. I enjoy your music very much, having first saw you on Saturday Night Live, and have several of your albums. Out of the many famous people I had the opportunity to meet at work (I started at Martin in 1972), such as David Crosby, Travis Tritt, Marty Stuart, Paul Simon, Merle Haggard, Roy Clark, Mark Knoppler, ect., I think I enjoyed seeing you the most. You just have that certain indivduality that makes you stand out. Keep the music going.

first became aware of your existence in the mid 70's. would see you on the television doing Budweiser commercials. eventually saw you Saturday Night Live. I heard you give an interview on Radio 2 here in England earlier this year. your singing and choice of songs makes me feel good & happy. I am very glad that I am alive while you are alive. glad I wasn't born before your time. hope you come here to southeastern England soon. your shows would sell out fast. best wishes to you, Mr Redbone.

Your performance at Jonathan's in Ogunquit was wonderful. Loved the interaction with the audience and am grateful for your playing and singing my request, "NOBODY" in your curtain call. Your reverence for minstrel Emmit Miller and his version are unmistakable and, for me, it always will be your signature song as well. It is you at your finest!. Your No. 1 fan in Maine.

I heard Leon for the first time at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. He was great! Fantastic music. Unfortunately, he decided to skip out on his second show the next day, and play a gig in Minneapolis instead. Music was good, but that's pretty lame. I travelled all the way to Winnipeg from Minneapolis, and he ends up skipping out and going to Minneapolis.

I offer Greetings to all! Mr. Redbone, Me and my friend "Jack" would like to extend our sincere appreciation to you for the mighty fine music. When the sun dwindles slowly above the willows and the delectible smell of the smoke rising from the grill, breezes lazily by, Jack and I find the cozy rocker and settle in for a evening of relaxation. It would not be same without sitting back and absorbing the mellodic strumming and Vocalizations of Mr. Redbone. For this we thank you. May your travels find you well. The next time you and yours are in the fine state of Indiana (round Indianapolis way) Please allow me the pleasure of hosting you and yours to a fine meal. Our mutual friend Jack would like to also let you know that he would be available.

Leon was magnificent in Dublin in 2001.I had the pleasure of meeting him backstage which was one of the highlights of my life so far. That night he played "Police Dog Blues" and what an interpretation! Is there a new album in the offing, does anyone know? Will "Police Dog Blues" be included? Can anyone enlighten me?

I know you are a very private person but I would love to know more about your background--birthplace, influences, training, artists you admire, etc. Thank you for the music and keep up the good work.

Leon: I've been a faithful fan since I first became aware of you via SNL. I've crooned along with you ever since my first vinyl disc of On the Tracks. Even your novelty offerings are better music than the screeching and screaming that passes for such in this day and age. Reading the bulletin board of this site reveals that there's an anxious crowd of folks like myself that teeter on the edge of anticipation for your next album. Don't let us down! And THANKS for years of listening pleasure.

Enjoyed your concert at the Mryna Loy center in Helena, MT. I brought some friends who had never heard of Leon Redbone, and they were impressed, especially the guitar playing. My favorite song of all is "seduced". Can I get the sheet music anywhere? Hope you come to Great Falls sometime.

Hi Leon, I love the CD "Whistling in the Wind!" I recently read an article about how playing your music at garage sales increases sales. I agree with the person who wrote that you should sing with Alex Pangman! Your deep voice and her swing era jazz voice that really does sound like it's from the 30s would mix really, really well together. Wow! What a fabulous combination that would be.

Winters in MI really suck. As soon as the weather breaks in April, I open all the windows, let the sun pour in and play Mr. Redbone's cds. His music is the promise of spring for me; my mind wanders to visions of steamboats, lilacs, lace dresses, and warm southern breezes while I press and starch my doilies. I play his music while I dress my home for sunny days. When putting my family photos onto cd (dating from the mid-1800's) I chose Mr. Redbone's music as the soundtrack. Many thanks to him for sharing his unique talents and bringing sunshine and wimsy to so many of us!

He was ever the gent. I had been a fan for so long. I still am and have him on vinyl and CD I have introduced many friends to his music. I now have a new band of my own and we are strongly influenced by him. Thank You Leon

Oh, no, I just read some of the entries in this guest book. Was it really in the early 70s - like 73 - he performed on SNL??? Doesn't actually matter - that won't make me any older or younger, not that I would care, but yeah, time flies. From some of the pictures on this site has he truly trimmed his moustache? God Forbid. He had the most outstanding moustache. Not many men can grow them like that. That's all, I promise.

Whoah! I just added my 2� by e-mail. But I guess I'll repeat that I've been fascinated by his voice since Saturday Night Live - the 1st time I saw him. I have my boys into his music also. And I still say he looks like Father Guido Sarducci.

Last Friday,Leon Redbone's piano man Paul Asaro was a special pleasure. His tasteful and masterful accompaniment was restrained but emotionally engaged--a beautiful match for the music. Enviable skill and God-given talent were demonstrated by Paul Asaro with his interpretation and obvious appreciation of JellyRoll Morton.

My husband introduced me to your music in 1997 and I have loved listening to you ever since. We even had tickets to see you in Sturbridge in 2001 but were unable to go due to a family emergency. Then my son in law told me in April 2003 that you were recently in Northampton. I could have cried!!! Now your schedule posted here says you won't be back for a long time. So sorry I missed you. Please if you can let me know when you will be back in MA. Anita

Dahlink - Noisy bastards in the bar last night didn't win. I crept down the stairs to look, listen and smile. You were gone too soon. Come back! And make it Valentine's; that'll give us enough time to dream up a truly intimate venue for a soiree of syncopation,serenades and sweethearts I had a ball last night, but next time, remember the bon bons! :0*

Thanks for a great show in Petaluma Friday nite. Leon kept us laughing and tapping our feet as no other can do. Have been listening to you since the beginning and seen live shows over ten times. The only thing I ever want to know is, Why haven't you played "Ain't Misbehavin"? That and Hurry Home Sweet Momma never stop inside my head! Thanks for years of enjoyment Leon.

We certainly enjoyed the concert in Idaho Falls. You might send that ol'horn man to fiddlin' school though...bring back that Venuti sound on Aint Misbehavin', you know! The whole trio was SPITZE (yiddish for THE TOPS...not the dog). The west needs more Redbone.

Hey Leon!!! We saw you at the Comedy Club in West Palm Beach back in the "80's" so now we are here in Bozo Idaho, and we get a chance to see you again, "Too Cool" Our teen age son was with us back then, RJ Singleton and he will be with us again, the only differnce is, he is now 32 and the drummer for "Pandoras Box" a great local band going national. We just found out you were going to be here and so, our seats are in the balcony, could you please just give a nod to us, we'd appreciate it. Blues On!!! Harv & Joey

My mom introduced me to your music when I was a little girl. I was born in 1975...so I was about 3 when Champagne Charlie entered our living room through our old record player, and became one of my favorites to dance around and goof off with my mom to. It 'opened my ears' to the ragtime-oldtime style, and I have had the rythm and the soul in my heart ever since. Thank you for being you, and making your music and making it available to share with the world. My mom and I had the most wonderful night on Thursday night 4/17/2003 when you graced us with your presence, your mood, and your music at the Aladdin Theatre in Portland, OR. What a night! Thanks Leon, and please keep the music comin'.

I have enjoyed your music since I first saw you on SNL, in the 80's. Missed you at Silver Mountain in Idaho, but will be at the Davenport Hotel on the 19th Apr, 2003 in Spokane. While you are in Spokane, go to Rocky Rococo's Piza....they have a life size picture and you could be their "poster boy". Besides they have the best Piza in Spokane! Hope you will have a chance to go there. And we will be at your concert.How do we find out when you'll appear on TV again? We have all your recordings and tapes..when fishin we play the tapes and sure enough, the fish start bitting! Even better than WD40...lol see you at the concert

I had left message below about the show at the Stoneham Theatre; Leon played an hour then went off stage. The audience thought it was an intermission and went out to the concession stand, restrooms, etc.--only to be told that "he's only doing one set". At least Leon and the band did a couple of "encores". The posters said "An Evening With Leon Redbone", not an hour. But some trivia: according to the Saturday Night Live book (the First 20 Years), here are the songs Leon did on SNL and when he did them: 2/28/76: Ain't Misbehavin'; Big Time Woman 5/29/76: Shine on Harvest Moon; Walking Stick

Hello Mr. Leon Redbone...The first time I heard you was one Saturday night back in the 1970's...I was watching the old 'Saturday Night Live' show and you sang 'Shine On Harvest Moon'. I became an instant fan and have been ever since. I've got all your albums. I bought the first one the day after I first heard you on 'Saturday Night Live'. Listening to your music got me through many a hard time in my life. Now I'm getting old and your music to me is still and always shall be the greatest. You are truly the finest of the finest...a real 'right-on' and very cool dude. Keep it coming Mr. Redbone and come to this part of Canada. Hey...we Canucks love you!

Leon played a wonderful show in Stoneham.I have had the pleasure of watching his performance's well over ten times. Leon has always had the time for the fans,last night was the first time that I didn't go back stage for a chat. I believe he wasn't feeling all that well last night. Thanks Leon for playing "Shine on Harvest Moon" I loved it.

Just saw Leon at Stoneham Theater in Mass. The show was good but far too short. He did wonderful ragtime tunes, had fun talking with audience, etc. But after one hour he went off stage and we thought we had an intermission. The word started spreading that the show was actually over. Some people left; others did stay and heard Leon and the band come out to do a quick encore. But that was it. It was a great show, but people paid $27 and $30 to see a performance that was just over an hour. Is that all we get?

Just wondering if anyone knows of any Leon Redbone guitar tabs available online (a multitude of tabs, not just the one or two that I managed to find)? I just started listening to Leon, and I like to play songs that I like. I think Leon does a great job at what he does, and he's been doing it for so long, which is doubly good.

I first heard of you many years ago in Oklahoma and was hooked. Then I married a man who was a big fan of yours and we collected all your tapes. I got them after the divorce:) I bought CHRISTMAS ISLAND when it first came out and my son and I play it every Christmas. I finally had to buy him a copy of his own and a new CD for me. It's well-played and well-loved. I see on your touring schedule that you're coming to Seattle and Bremerton, WA, in April '03. I'm buying tickets for my son as a surprise and he can see you in Seattle. I'll catch you at the Admiral Theater in Bremerton. I can hardly wait! WOO HOO

I saw you in 1978 in The Commodore Ballrom. It was the best show I have ever seen. I saw something at your show that I have never seen before or since. You did an encore and left the stage. People kept clapping, yelling and stomping their feet. The house lights came on, but only a few people left. Most everybody stayed and kept screaming and stomping and clapping for about ten minutes. Then you reappeared and said "You are all sinners and one day you will pay for this!" You then played another encore. I have met others who were there that night and still talk about the great show you put on that night. The Commodore has reopened. Are you coming to Vancouver?

We have been in Saratoga for 5 years. No luck yet, but we will keep checking the site. If you get to this area, we will be in the audiance. Yes, we own all of your LPs, Tapes and CDs.

Hello Leon, Thank you for your wonderful talent that makes so many happy. I saw you many times in the San Franciso Bay Area over the years. I am still blind from your Polaroid! I used to bring my flashlight to the Catalyst to shine back at you, screaming for you to sing Ain't Misbehavin'. I was hooked on that from SNL. In over 10 times I saw you, you did not do that song, my only missing want in life. My father loved you and we took him to see you at Santa Cruz Univ way back. That was my first time as well. A great time in SF was with Bromberg sitting in. Misbehavin' and Hurry Home Sweet Mamma constantly course thru my brain as I try to sing like you at times in the car. Your voice is so infectious and I sing to your first album often. Thanks again for your bringing us joy, Frank Charles.

Dear Leon: I will never forget seeing you perform at the ?? Ballroom here in OKC. It was 1975, I think and got excited about you just from the music in the radio commercial for the concert. My first favorite of yours was "Crazy Blues", wonderful song. The intermission was great, you played a tape of march music and soaked your harmonica in a glass of water. Went home and told all my friends that you played guitar like a man making love to a woman he had known forever. (kinda reminded me of George Moustaki's song "Ma Solitude". Any fans who want to communicate with me, just email, especially those of you in OK. love, firey

Every Christmas morning, before the presents are opened, I put on the Christmas Island music. My kids hated it. Now that they are grown, they laugh and joke about it. My son is now in the service and will not be home for Christmas. I am sending him the CD as a gift in his Christmas box. I'm sure he will feel at home hearing you at Christmas. You have made happy memories and put smiles on our faces in our family. Merry Christmas and Good Health to you. Maureen

Has anybody noticed that the theme song for the PBS children's show, "Mary Lou Retton's Flip Flop Shop," sure sounds like it's sung by Leon? I haven't been able to confirm it yet but each time I hear the song, I'm convinced it's Leon. Also, I caught Leon a few times on "Between the Lions" singing his version of the alphabet. It's great! Whatever he does is great!

Saw Leon at the town crier near Poughkeepsie December 2 years ago last. Was a little disapointed at his fooling around instead of music. I appreciate the shadow show and the jokes, but he was just trying to trick his accompanist. I have most of the albums, and have seen him 5 times in and around Poughkeepsie, NY.

I can't stay still when I hear such good music and I was tapping the stage with my foot and feeling the musicians keeping time with their feet too! What a wonderful talent these men have. It was well worth the drive to see them on a rainy night! Truly enjoyed the step back in time. Cindy

Just a note from us Baton Rouge boys to let you know how much we enjoyed your show in Chattanooga. Being from Louisiana, that's not exactly what we'd call a downpour though. Surely not enough to "dampen" our excitement, but just enough to "wet" our appetite for more. Would like to cut into that 1100 mile round trip though. Why don't ya'll schedule a show down here on the "Muddy Mississippi" soon? Plenty of good times and great food. I know ya'll know the way. By the way. For ya'll folks in Chattanooga, thanks for the hospitality. It was great.

Dear Leon, We tried, begged and pleaded to get tickets to your show at the Ark in Ann Arbor Michigan, but the tickets were sold out almost immediately. PLEASE come back to Michigan, we will drive anywhere in the state. We love your "STYLE", as do our parents, children and grandchildren. We all sing together with you! What a pleasure it would be to see you in person!!!! Judith and Les Bertram.

Your music has truly touched me, I only recently attached a face and name to the voice I have heared off and on scence I was a child. I found myself an instant fan watching an old SNL rerun thinking, why have I not heard or seen him before. I had heard "up a lazy river", heard the name Leon Redbone many times, finaly every thing is matched to geather. The first chance I had to find your web sight I did. Thank you for proving that the beutiful classic sound of the thirties and fourties era can make it into the livingroom of millions of rockin roll, rap and new age music listeners and touch them. You can't be denied you sing and play guitar and people have no choice but to listen, love and admire you. Atleast that is definently how I felt when I saw you. Thank you so much you have inspired me and touched me. You have a true fan for live and beyond. Your newest fan, Melody Dowden

Hi...I just returned from seeing Leon at The Ark in Ann Arbor MI. I have only ONE complaint....not enough!!! I have seen him locally at Dallas and Fort Worth, and I have traveled to Chicago and Detroit JUST to listen to him in person. I have every CD. In case you read this Leon, I left the business card in the chair on stage. I would love to have an autographed photo. Please come back to Texas. We love ya!!!

Heard Leon in concert at least four times while I was living in Dallas. Now that I've moved to smaller city in Illinois, it is harder to find his performances and get tickets, etc. Heard him once at Peoria and once in St. Louis. Last time he was in St. Louis, the performance was sold out when I went to buy tickets a month in advance. Hearing him in concert is always great, but I wish he would put "I Want To Be Seduced" in his live repertoire.

Thanks Leon, for 30-odd years of wonderful music. Here�s a quick one about the beauty of minimalism, and why, very often, it�s much better to play one note instead of many. Back in the 70�s L.R. was scheduled to play at an afternoon Mariposa Folk Festival workshop. The news was out, so a large crowd gathered & waited. And waited. Finally, himself arrived! He scanned the crowd suspiciously & edged over to the stool and microphone provided. A hush fell. There was a few test chords. We waited...... He fanned himself in the bright afternoon sunlight. Then....... Please don�t talk about me when I�m gone......, Leon completed the lovely old song. And left. But we did, didn�t we? Malcolm Atkinson

Saw Leon the first time back in the early 80's in a budwiser commercial,didn't know who he was but, loved the music. Finally saw him on Johnny Carson-ran out got his cd Sugar and his entire collection soon after. He is a true original, and enigmatic, and just plain cool. Saw him in Nashville,-to a packed house- Outstanding! Leon: if you read this, know you still have loyal fans/friends, (it's good to hear you in commericals too-keep getting heard!)

Leon Redbone is the very best. A thoroughly entertaining professional who knows how to treat an audience to a good show. He's funny, respectful, and a gentleman. I'm even impressed with the guy who remembers him from the Smothers Brothers. I thought I was the only person who remembered that far back. Leon is tops !!!

I also made it to the river front when you came up the scioto on one of our boats. I am not able to get out any more to see you, but would buy your videos if you had them.

THE VENUE WAS MORE INTIMATE AND WE WERE ABLE TO HEAR EVERY NUANCE AND SOUND THAT WAS MADE ON STAGE. WHEN I TOLD MY ELDERLY NEIGHBOR WHERE WE HAD GONE, SHE SAID " I LOVE THAT LEON, DID HE SING THAT SONG ABOUT WANTING TO BE SEDUCED?" I THINK IT'S PRETTY NEAT THAT A PERFORMER CAN APPEAL TO SO MANY DIVERSE PEOPLE AS THIS. THANKS LEON AND THANKS TO ALL THE FANS THAT SUPPORT MUSICANS. I FOR ONE REALYY APPRECIATE IT.

In the mid-70's my mate Phil used to play Leon redbone albums on that quaint old vinyl. I never forgot that trombone voice, the image & the songs. Recently I've been thinking of the past. A name that came to mind was Leon Redbone. After some research I discovered some available CD's, two of which I've bought so far. I love them. In a world in which men so filled with hatred that they can strap explosives to their bodies to kill themselves & fellow human beings, in a world in which men can fly planes fully laden with fuel & fellow human beings into buildings full of fellow human beings its good to know that there's a Leon Redbone out there! Simple, humorous, beautifully crafted old songs performed impeccably, this is what the world needs. I intend to root out any other available recordings to add to my collection. As I hunker in the bunker with my family & friends Leon Redbone will provide the soundtrack to our future sane world. What, I wonder would Leon take to his bunker & with whom would he hunker?

About 6 years ago a friend of mine found a Leon Redbone record on the ground. It looked like it had been run over a few times and nobody knew who he was. We brought it in, cleaned it up and played it. Miraculously, the scratches did not affect the music at all. We didn't know what to expect... and it was GREAT! We were instant fans! Now I have 2 kids and we all listen to Leon. We have a really sweet old neighbor who talks the way Leon sings. He never goes anywhere without his PVC walking stick and when we are inside we secretly call him Leon. When I see him walking around I can't help but think of Leon singing "My Walking Stick." Now tell me, is that so wrong?

Way back in the crazed fog of the seventies, I saw Leon play in a log cabin on the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh. Through the rolling of empty beer bottles on the floor, the smoke , the cramped space, and the heat, Leon's music came through. I've been a fan ever since.

I was *so* disappointed that I missed Leon's show in Lynchburg this week; I was out of town! I've really enjoyed his music since I first heard him a decade ago. I'm currently listening to a CD of recordings made by guitartist Eddie Lang and violinist Joe Venuti from 1928, and it's neat to think that this is the same Joe Venuti who played with Leon on his first album. I also recently got a thrill out of discovering and listening to Leon vocalizing in a 1980's hot jazz recording for Stomp Off Records. I also love the new album "Anytime." Thanks so much, Leon! Come back to Lynchburg when I'm not away :-)

Today is April 24, 2002. Just got home from a Leon Redbone concert at Smith Auditorium, Randolph Macon Women's College, Lynchburg, Va. One of the best times we have had at a concert. He really put on a show. Wish we could see him in person more often. We've been fans since the early 80's. Enjoy reading his web page. Will be purchasing his new CD tomorrow. Thanks

Delighted to find out you're still going strong (my ex-husband always said "Leon Redbone is so laid back he's horizontal!) Bout time you came back to Aus again. And please ignore the request from someone to record some Elvis songs. Really!!!!

You signed my autograph at your late 2001 appearance in Pizza Express Jazz Cafe, London and I told you that my father back in New Zealand was a big fan. He had in fact passed on a few months earlier but your energy and humour reminded me so much of him that I forgot my sorrow. And for that night he was with me again, crooning and gurgling along to your classics, a glass of rum in his hand and a cheeky grin on his face. Thanks Leon. Your humour and style is timeless. Now when I wish he was here with me, I play your records and can't help but smile. We will always be true fans, Leon.

I saw Mr. Redbone on January 28, 1986. It was 2 days before my 16th birthday and 2 days after the space shuttle blew up. I had one of the greatest times in my life and it is something that I will always share with my Dad. Thank you for a great memory and for music that I find myself singing in the middle of the day for no reason at all.

Youth that have never heard of vaudeville have here , among us today,one of the Most Talented vaudevillians of All Time.Make no Mistake; You should buy,play, preserve and pass on hs music to everyone, and for generations to come! Although this gentleman prefers to be understated and somewhat incognito,that only adds to his Legendary Appeal!God Bless You Leon,You are Magnificent!

Two of my greatest days were seeing you at the Grand Opera House in Macon several years ago...and seeing you at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta last Thursday. I was the fat guy in the 2nd row...and it was all I could do to keep from hollerin' "Sheik of Araby!" HA! I don't suppose you do that one anymore. I've been a fan for 25+ yrs. and have all your recordings. Please come back to Georgia. Oh hell...please come back to the South...I'll find you. And could you find some way to advertise next time? I'm sure you have a lot of fans down here...but I only found out you were playing because I recently got on the TicketMaster e-mail list. and another thing....what part of Canada are you from? And what brand of shellac were you drinking? And was that your Suburban with the Pennsylvania plates parked outside the stage door? Ooops...I forgot...you like your privacy. he he Finally...could you add some merchandise to your web site? I'd love an autographed photo...T-shirt...coffee mug... whatever. Quite possibly your biggest fan. Best wishes...be well... and if I could just see you live one more time I'll be happy. Bringing my camera next time. Robert

Just been listening to 'Any Time' and discovered that you had a web-site. We first heard you on Radio TSF (89.9) in Paris - introduced by Prince (Sir) Ali. Now we are back in England, we are really missing the programme! When are you next coming to England - there is a superb Jazz Club near Southampton - The Concorde - known by many American musicians who make it one of their regular stops when they are on tour. Saw that Ken Peplowski is on 'Any TIme' - for several years now he has appeared at the Concorde once or twice a year. Ask him for the address, and his recommendation. He'll rate it very highly. Hope to see you soon.

Dear Mr. Leon Redbone I am a way big time fan of yours. I cherish my LP collection and I am in the process of replicating the collection on CD. I look forward to your new releases as well. But as a long time fan I do have one request of you, that is if you would be so kind as to give a listen to a gal by the name of Alex Pangman. I am only a fan of hers but she will take you right there like your music does. Anyway I know that you sing alone but I thought that the most beautiful duet in the world would be sung by you and Alex. www.alexpangman.com. Some of her stuff is kinda new - you know from the 30's but its like you are there. Before I die I just wish I could hear a duet(a whole CD even better) of you & her.

Dear Leon. I have noited that you are doing a gig in France. I'll probably cross the channel to see you perform - I can't walk on water yet! I think a gig or two in England is long, long overdue. How about a show at The Manchester Bridgewater Hall. It is the finest acoustic concert hall in Europe. It's very new and, would you believe, is built on springs. In closing I'd like to say that Anytime is, as expected, terrific. I'd also like to send a big friendly hug to Beryl Handler. You make a great team, Oh yes! The fruit Pastilles originate in the U.K. so come along and I'll buy you a packet. Best Wishes and good health

Hey Leon, I doubt if you ever find time to read this thing, but on the off chance you do - just wanted to say we love you, man! I ran into you in the French Quarter back in the early 70s. You were playing on the street. It was my hat we passed around the crowd for tips. It started out fine and dandy, but I became excited and upset you when I screamed "I'm from Drunk and I'm alabama!" Anyway, sorry about that. If it's any consolation, I have all your records (and even cds now, hey hey). You're one of a kind, partner. A real class act.

Hey Leon, I hope that you are really alive to read this. :-) I used to live in San Jose Ca. and listened to your music on KFAT Radio broadcast from Gilroy, "The Garlic Capital of the World" back in the mid-late 70s. I especially liked Diddy Wa Diddy, and so apparently did KFAT because they played it often. I was in Phoenix AZ in 82 and stumbled across you there. Knew who it was before I saw you.You were playing outdorrs there, dressed in white. I got excited and told my girlfriend, that it was Leon Redbone. She said "Who's Leon Redbone?" I told her that I listened to you up north. Whatever. Anyway, I was thinking about Diddy Wa Diddy, and wondering about what kind of hoops I would have to jump through to get a copy of Double Time on CD inexpensively, as everything here costs through the roof. I came upon this site and saw this biography in which they spoke of you and your career as past tense. I wondered if you had died ( hence the opening statement) as it sounded that way. I certainly hope not. I've been out of the country now for 11 years, now a solo parent of three young kids. How life is unexpected. I hope to get my hands on a CD soon, and play it for my kids to hear. Is there any chance of making it out to Christchurch someday? So anyway, Leon, if you're alive to read this, and even if you aren't LOL I love your music. KFAT is gone, the girlfriend is gone, but the music goes on. Maybe thats how its supposed to be. Thanks for everything, Tom Gervasi, Christchurch, New Zealand

Yes, I want, I need the performance of 'music' that no other person can perform! On a hunch, I look on the web and first rock out of the box find this site! I have been for too long at a console. I have been for too long without Mr. Redbone! Look out genX pierced geeks co-workers! I am in search of CDs in the morning. I am on a mission!

Like many people I too discovered Mr. Redbone's Art through Saturday Night Live. I have been enjoying his music ever since (over 20 years now). Ten Days ago. New Years Eve at Mechanic's Hall in Worcester, MA was the first time I ever saw him in person. We had hoped to meet Leon the Great after the show and were told that it probably wouldn't happen. The long and short of it is we actually did get to meet Leon after the second show back stage. This Gentleman was wonderful, funny, gracious, friendly and an absolute delight. He was even more wonderful than I could have hoped. I managed to score the last copy of Any Time from my local record store, which Mr. Redbone has Autographed for me. This is one fine album and deserves a prominent place in everybody's record collection. Get out there and buy it today!

Finer memories of life...sitting around smoking cigars, playing poker with family, popping in and out Leon Redbone cassettes. Twenty years ago... still remember fondly. Went to see Leon at the Bucks County Community College..him in his manner of dressing..us in plaid shirts and bibs..Yahoo

A big, larger than life hello and season's greetings from Italy! I've been a fan of yours since late 70s, after Double Time I browsed and always purchased your records (all vinyl!) in all these years, receiving always great pleasure and deep musical enjoyment and satisfaction with your music! ...and I own 9, which never tired me! My last find? recently I found a mint copy of promo 10"/78 rpm from Champagne Charlie...sooo sought after...but unfortunately (for who never listened to it...) my "desert island LR's disc" is the double "LIVE"! Laughin a go-go! Thanks for ALL...always yours. Stefano

I first saw Leon on Saturday Night Live. I thought he was terrible. One day my wife and I were in a record shop in Greenwich Village NYC and I saw his album "Double Time". I said to my wife that I was going to buy the album to show her how bad this guy was. Well, after listening to it we decided that I was completely wrong. I now have several of his albums and we went to see him in concert with Bonnie Raitt and Steve Forbert. Leon is one of a kind.

My first date with my husband (16 years ago) was to your concert in Orange County, CA. I had sworn off dating, due to some really bad past choices, but couldn't resist seeing you live, so I gave in and accepted the invitation. THAT was the best decision of my life. Had the Hubby been a fan of anyone else, I'd still be single, and he'd be married to the wrong girl. When are you coming back to the West Coast, so we can relive the night?! Thanks for the years of great music, and for the nudge into a great romance!

Mr. Redbone I first saw you on Saturday Night Live. I turned the show on and this cool looking dude was singing to accompanied by a tuba. Well having downed a few or more earlier in the evening I thought I was having hallucinations. "This is pretty wild." I thought and then realized that the music was really good! I have been a fan since that night. I think my favorite song is "Champagne Charley". Thanks for the music!

well, howdy. i first saw mister redbone in boston, musta been 'round about 1977 or '78. i remember i went all by myself on account i couldn't find anyone who knew his work or wanted to to give it a whirl. no matter to me; i just put on my top hat, grabbed my white gloves and my walkin' stick and went on down to -gee whiz- memory fades about the name of the intimate club on commonwealth avenue near the "ellis the rim man" billboard. now i'm married, divorced, 2 kids, re-married, one baby, think i'm on the verge of a second divorce (i sure can pick 'em!), but still listening to mister redbone: just heard him and Dr John at the dry cleaner's for the perennial favorite this time o' year, 'rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.' i am nostalgic for a time when my future seemed ahead of me and when i had the exacting pleasure of dressing to be part of the energy that was happening around me; when i felt a bit more young and vital. howsoever, i still have the top hat and gloves but somehow, the walking stick has disappeared over the years. of course, if it would mean a personal meeting with mister redbone, i sure could find one somewhere, i'm sure. hope he will be playing this area soon. i see the calendar is current only through the end of the year (happy new year in massachusetts), but i'll keep on a-checkin'.... no, i ain't misbehavin' either, but i sure wish i were.

Dear Mr. Redbone (and all those fans of yours!) I think that i might be the only Dutch fan of yours. All your CD's (I got 8 of them) I had to order abroad because no recordshop in Holland has even heard of you! I went to your (only?) concert in Holland (Paradiso, Amsterdam in the 90's) but then I already was a big fan of yours. Beeing a bit of pianist and singer myself I'd like to have your songtexts. Is that possible or can anybody else help me? When are you comingto Holland again??? Regards, Haje Wessels

Me and my dad were sitting up one Saturday night when I was out for a weekend visit. Mom had long since went to bed, and me and pop were there playing cards, having some beers and listening to some records (remember those?) Then on came Leon's Double Time record and I had to smile. My dad played this record a lot when I was a kid, and I didn't appreciate it then, but I sure do now. Thanks! We would love for you to come to Winnipeg to play for us.

It is now 3am here, and I have just arrived home after travelling 500 miles to see Leon in concert, at The Pizza Express Jazz Club, in London. Well, what a concert! The music varied in style, from jazz to blues and a bit of the unexpected as well. One of the highlights, was when he turned the lights down, and whistled to a guy, playing the zither! He was also kind enough to sign a few autographs as well when he left the stage. Keep up the good work, Leon, and come back to England soon.(preferably, a bit further North next time ) Cheers.

I am still another SNL first-timer, perhaps 14 years old, mesmerized by Ain't Misbehavin' and When you Wish upon A star. Leon didn't seem to move at all, a total break from the current tradition. I didn't move, either, it was magic. I didn't know anything about early 20th century music, and now even after all this time I'm only starting to scracth the surface of this music history with Emmett Miller, Cliff Edwards, Ada Jones, Jimmie Rodgers, Uncle Dave Macon, and many other performers- Thousands of songs from this era. Leon, for me, puts a great twist on these songs. Man, I'd like to see his music collection.

About 10 years ago my first marriage ended. I started dating again after a couple more years. On my first date with Jo-Anne I asked her what kind of music she liked. She mentioned a few types of music and a few artists - and then she said - and... I really like Leon Redbone. Jo-Anne are now entering our 7th year of very happy marriage - and we're both listening to Leon right now. No Leon, I won't credit you for getting us together :) - but I will credit you for your wonderful music. Keep it up, and thanks for for a lot of great enjoyment. Gary

My wife and I saw Leon not too long ago at the Bodles Opera House in Chester, NY. It was the best show we have seen in years. Now I hear he'll be in Pawling, NY in a couple of weeks?! Needless to say, I have my tickets already, and my wife is informing the babysitter! For all that's gone on here in NY this show comes as a much needed breath of fresh air. I am so looking forward to this! God bless you, Leon. You're an odd guy, but I dig ya!

My Daddy and my Grandaddy would listen to your music over and over again on an old tape player. As they sipped their beer they would say "Listen, It just don't get no better than that music". I thought they were crazy, and I thought your music wasn't all that great. My Daddy died in 1981 and it almost killed me. The only thing that saved me was my Grandaddy and his memories of the man I missed. A lot of those memories involved your music. To make a long story short, I have fallen in love with your music. After my Grandaddy passed away I took it opon myself to continue the tradition of Leon Redbone music in our family. So far, so good!!!! EVERYBODY LOVES IT!!!! LONG LIVE LEON! It will here!

I introduced my son (a musician) to your music when he was just a little guy and have purchased all of your albums, cassettes, and now cd's. Can't wait until you get back to Shank Hall in Milwaukee on 10/31/01. Coincidentally, it will be my son's 30th birthday so maybe you can wish Jesse Ballard a Happy Birthday that evening ? Take care and looking forward to another great performance- love your style!! Barb Ballard

Leon, thank you for your beautiful music. I'm an actress and playwright who has listened to your music for cheering and comfort since I was ten. No matter how I'm feeling, it never fails that I feel so much better after listening (and, singing) to you, no matter how many times! When people ask me what my dreams are, I reply: 1)Being the first poet in space, and 2)singing with Leon Redbone! (Not necessarily in that order.) You are a singular artist of feeling and style, and are greatly cherished. Thank you and please come to NY! ~Julia D'Orazio

I first heard a Leon Redbone CD 2 years ago when someone brought it into work and absolutely fell in love with it. I went straight out and bought 2 CDs. I then bought my father who is 63 years of age the Sugar CD for Christmas and now he is one of Leon's biggest fans.

My wife and I went to your show in Rochester. I had been a fan for years, but my wife was not sure. She ususly does not like my choice in music. Most of the people sitting next to us were there to see Leo Kotke. Leon had more fans than Leo that night. Come back to Rochester again, it was a great show. I did not realize what a great guitar player you are.

I've been a big fan since I first saw you on SNL and heard 'The Sheik of Araby' on Dr Demento back in the 70's. I've got all the CD's and many of them on vinyl and I just about wore them out when I did a college radio show. I've seen all kinds of live music, but your show I saw at Caravan of Dreams in Ft Worth was one of the most enjoyable nights I've ever had. I hope you'll make it back to the southwest sometime soon. Keep up the magic.

saw Leon Redbone for the first time last week on an old SNL re-run; and I was totally impressed with his awesome "old- style"pickin'n'grinnin'! I found out that this broadcast of Saturday Night Live was from 1975. He did a duo with Tuba- Player Johnason Dorn, and a very cool version of (Irving Berlin's) 'My Walking Stick'. Shortly after this appearance, Warner Brothers released his debut recording, On The Tracks. He was playing a Martin 0-15 guitar back then; nowdays, he's spankin' a 1950's Gibson CF 100. I hope Leon decides to do more solo guitar/vocal recording in the studio; he's got a sound that you don't hear much anymore. His eclectic music perfectly suits his persona. I hope to see him play live someday, I'm so glad to find out he's still out there jammin (remember Etta Baker!)-hope you can make it outto Vancouver or Victoria BC Canada again soon. You must have the worlds best fans. Thanks to Mr.Redbone for the Sportin' music and the inspiration. Keep On Truckin', Ace'Diddie'Dexter

Mr. Redbone's music is often played while I work in my studio, painting and drawing. He carries me away and soothes me when I need to relax and makes me laugh when I have the blues. My wife and I also love to dance to this man's music. Thanks for the good times, Leon.

I have been a huge fan of Leon ever since I first saw him on "Saturday Night Live." I have every single one of his albums (on CD), and was lucky enough to be able to see him live, in person, in Ocala, FL in 1999 (best show I've ever seen!). Leon was such an incredible GENTLEMAN: he stayed after the show, posed for pictures, and signed autographs. Because I live in Hawaii, I am wondering if he would ever consider coming over here to the Islands for a concert? Thanks/Aloha--Bill Nordstrom

I love Leon Redbone. I'm 31 years old and glad to see others my age listening to truely great music like Redbone's. Anyway, how bout' Mr. Redbone coming out to the left coast sometime (San Diego, Ca.). I saw Mr. Redbone many years ago on Saturday Night Live. I didn't know who Leon Redbone was at the time. I probably wasn't even 10 years old at the time, but I still remember Mr. Redbone sittin' in the rocking chair just casually pickin' away.

I`ve just get "Anytime" that title reminds me one of old c&w song immediately and it makes me again smile and happy. As I have your all "RECORD" from first album, I would like you to issue it alos "RECORD" that sound more natural for me especially your songs. I wish you to come Tokyo to sing for us soon !! when you make plan it,pls do it again at same hall near Budohkan.

Passing by the wonderfully progressive city of Montreal anytime soon? And on another subject, do you think there is a call for a Leon Redbone Gay Fan Club?

Just got the other Double-Time book-end in an outdoor venue in Lexington, Virginia ( The Bowl at Limekiln Theatre ). The first one was 25 years ago in Buffalo NY. From Leon's performance not a lick has changed in the ensuing years and I'm so glad for it. Very few artist's can so thoroughly bring you into their little world as Mr. Redbone. Now I wish all the books between these ends had also been Leon Redbone shows. Thank you so much for the music and the fun!

I would recommend that all you Leon Redbone fans go out and buy a copy (or two or three - don't forget family and friends). Can't wait to see Leon again -- hopefully he'll include some of the new songs in his show. I continue to be Leon's number-one fan -- today, tomorrow and always.

Leon's music brings back the best of times, like sitting in a small bar in Cuba with a glass of whiskey and a fine cigar and cool and gentle breeze watching the sun set itself for the nite. I've had the pleasure of listening to Leon for over twenty years andfeature his music in my restaurant. Many, many relaxing hours. Thank You!

Like so many other fans, I first saw Leon on SNL when I was a kid and was reintroduced to him in college watching SNL reruns. I bought Sugar and it changed my listening habits--I fell in love with music all over again. Over the years, I've caught a few shows...each one better than the last. Bought all of the cd's. I've turned my wife and two year old son on to the "warble". Thank you so much for being so true to the art form that you preserve and innovate. You have made a difference in our lives. I'm looking forward to the next show you have in the Orlando area. Please keep doing what you do so well!

I am 34 yrs old and I'm sorry but I didn't know the words to "Harvest Moon" but I promise to learn them for the next show. Can you maybe post them on this site? I went home and my mom sang it for me. I hope you will be back again soon, you are a great guy. I would love to hear more stories of your life on the road. xoxo, Christine

Thank you for the autographs 5/3/01--Buffalo, NY My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were very happy to have your autograph for their wedding anniversary suprise. As I mentioned to you, they have been coming up to Buffalo for the past 3 years just to see you at the Tralf. They even bought your last 2 hats at the Tralf--much to the upset of some fans who sat next to us. Again, thank you for the autographs and the wonderful concert. I hope to see you next time you are in NYS (Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, Elmira, Binghamton). In the meantime, I'll be listening to the Chocolate Bon Bon Bar, et cetera

I really enjoyed sitting front row last night at the Rosebud and sighing with every song, laughing at all the simple things, and remembering when I first saw Leon in Northridge, CA many years ago with my friend Diane...I purchased his new album "Champaign Charlie" that night and had Leon autograph it. As he was signing it, I said, "Mr. Redbone, I have every album of yours"...His reply..."Now you have a good one" Please come back again soon!

Mr. Redbone, Do you still play with gunpowder? I seem to recall you injured your hands the day you were to perform at a blues festival in Beloit, Wisconsin, back in the mid '70s. My boyfriend at the time, a skinny banjo player named Walt Stewart, had arranged your visit and appearance against all odds since you were (are?) so reclusive. Anyway, we were all disappointed that you could not perform. Now, 25 years later, I'm wondering if I dreamed this whole thing, or if you really had that quirky hobby. Don't mean to intrude, just curious. Thank you, Rita Capes

I've known about Leon Redbone for a long time. Use to watch him on SNL when I was a kid. Have always liked his style but haven't thought about him in a long time. I ran across some songs of his and started asking my friends if they knew who he was. Honestly, I wasn't sure if he even made music anymore. I looked him up on the internet and was very disappointed to learn that I missed his appearance in Portland, OR by about a week. Please keep me updated on tour dates. The next time he comes through town I'm gonna drop everything to go see him.

I, my wife, and 13 year old daughter love your music. Several years ago I attended a John McCutcheon concert at the Seldon Concert Hall in St. Louis, MO. They sent around a survey asking who we would like to see perform there. I knew immediately Leon Redbone would be at the top of my list along with Amanda McBroom and John Hartford. I have since seen Amanda and John in St. Louis, although not at the Sheldon. However, even though you have appeared at the Sheldon last year and will be there again this year, both concerts were sold out when I checked on tickets. We are crushed that we had a great idea and can't get tickets. Please perform there again in 2002. Maybe if I start looking for tickets now I can get them for next year.

I don't know what the age group is for people who listen to this guy...I'm seventeen, still in high school, and I don't think I would share this music with anyone at my high school, knowing the tendencies teenagers have to shun good music. Leon, you are better than anything that is played on the radio, better than anything adored by people my age. You give me hope that good music still exists. Thank you.

Leon is a longtime favourite of mine going back more years that I actually care to remember, wonderful music, never one to change course to satisfy some commercial imperatives. Just keep it going. If someone happens to read this, Leon did a song on a movie some years ago, not sure if it was the end or the beginning. Can anyone help me identify the song or the movie? Cheers all.

I'm looking for some of Leon's lyrics as I am beginning to play out again after a 20+ year hiatus. I have always been a big fan of Leon's and I am hoping to replace some of the lyrics and chord changes I left in a storage space in San Jose, CA in 1984. I've got a need to acquire some of his changes an lyrics as I am thoroughly frustrated as a result of only remembering bits and pieces of his pieces that I used to do in the 70's. Any help you could give me would be great. Thanks Ken

My wife and I stumbled into a small pub in Portland, Or. back in the late 70's where Leon was playing. I think we were charged $3 or $4 cover. The absolute greatest night of entertainment I've ever been privileged to witness....I think the only accompaniment was a tuba. A hand shadow show remains in my memory to this day as totally unexpected and wonderful. I suspect anyone who reads this is already a fan, but if you do, and you aren't, he's in concert in Portland again April 6th, and they'll be serving. Thanks for the fondest of memories. Somehow, we all long for the "good old days"....they're now!

First time I ever heard you was Ghost Of The St Louis Blues that a friend had at home. Then we both went to see (and slightly hear) you in Loud�ac, a small britton town, where you sold out the 2 000 capacity hall, and you went down a storm (if this image fits your kind of music). You only had a bugme player and an acoustic guitar player (and a lovely one at that !)but the almost two hours we spent there were wonderful... Come back anytime ! Friendly, Louis

Mr. Redbone - My husband and I just saw you at the Ram's Head Tavern in Annapolis last Saturday - we enjoyed the show tremendously! I especially liked the shadow hand puppet display. Your sidemen were great as well. Can't wait to get your new CD.

Leon - I've loved your sound ever since I first heard you years ago. The appearances on "The Tonight Show" & "Saturday Night Live" were always memorable. It's always an added kick to pick you out on TV commercials. Any chance that you'll be coming to San Diego? Thanks for all the happiess.

Just discovered this site yesterday. I am so in love with Leon; but I suppose everyone who writes in the Guestbook is as well. I have all recordings except SUGAR and UP A LAZY RIVER,which, I am ashamed to say,I did not know about. This will have to be rectified! I've seen Leon in concert three times, the first and best venue was at the Eagle Mountain House in little Jackson, New Hampshire. I brought my mother with me and we sat in the second row. She promptly fell in love with him, too. How I wanted to go back stage after the concert and share a bottle of champagne with him. The backup band was terrific, with tuba, sax, clarinet, et al. Saw him again in Portland, Maine and then somewhere in Massachusetts (I forget) with Taj Mahal. He is one of the people I would love to have come to my home for a dinner party. Leon, do you ever get to the Maritimes? I live about 3 hours from Halifax (the most likely place you would perform), but it would be outrageous if you could perform somewhere in the Yarmouth area. I love,love,love you and your magnificent vocal style. Kisses...

I first heard Mr. Redbone in Seattle and was pleased to find out years later he would be performing in my home town of Salt Lake City. I'm embarrassed to say that I sat in the very front row of his performance and for some reason had trouble keeping my eyes open. I'm sure that I didn't leave a very good impression of Salt Lake. Sorry! I still love your music and especially your style.

I met Leon Redbone when I was working tech for his show at Chapel Hill in 1979. He sent a case of Heineken on ice to the crew while we were taking down the set, and when he appeared from the dressing room, pulling on a pair of gloves, I introduced myself. He is as enigmatic in person as he is on disk! I think Christmas Island is the best Christmas album I've got and it defines any version of any Christmas song I ever heard. Sang it purty, Leon!

Hi Leon: Being a long time Chicago Cub fan; I have come to know disappointment, but didn't think it would come at my first Leon Redbone concert. But it did in Woodstock on Friday Nov 24th. Your music was GREAT as usual but the performance was to short. Only a 90 min show that started 10 min late with 20 min of playing around with toys and telling old vaudville jokes. Leon we came to hear you sing. Leave the bad jokes to bad comedians and do what you can do better than anyone. On the way home we popped in your "Whistling in the wind" tape and all was well. Hope your feeling better.Go Cubs

Hi, Leon! We're the "PERSONS" you gave the autograph to in Woodstock on Friday, 11/24. We'd love to meet you. Mike first saw you at Park West back in the early 80's. Mike's favorite thing about you is the way you sing, and how you act. Renee's favorite part is the way you look at your band whenever you get a section dead-on perfect. ** We have just located the program that your poor clarinet player forgot to distribute a couple of years ago for the sing-along portion of your program.. Whatever happened to him, anyhow? Did you lock him up somewhere?? Thanks for being yourself... we always enjoy you! Mike & Renee Brown

I first listened to Leon Redbone in 1980. Since then I have become an avid listener and buyer of his music. Finding someone who feels the same way about his style of music is hard to come by. I have seen him twice in Indianapolis. Once at the Madam Walker Theater-1994 and I believe the other was at the Fox Theater-1992. During and after the performance I witnessed a truly remarkable musician at work. His ability as a muscian was simply outstanding. The records, tapes and CD's I have of Leon (all that is available) sound just like a live performance. His ability to perform (studio quality) with such ease was remarkable. I am hoping to see Leon Rebone again Nov 26, 2000 in Redkey, IN. Thank God that he tours Indiana because if you have not seen him you do not know hwat you are missing. Keep up the excellent work Leon because you truly are a treasure to the music industry!

I am 19 years old and play in a diverse Seattle band. We play everything from dub reggae with Joe Pass influences, to high energy rap/punk. I loved your Double Time album and plan to attend your April 7th concert in Bremerton (provided it's not "21 and over.") Anyway, just thought you might be interested to know that you DO have a "young" audience. I even convinced my band to cover a couple songs off the Double Time album in your style...shine on harvest moon and nobody's sweetheart. It seems most of my friends enjoy songs like Sheik Of Araby, figures eh? In any case, don't underestimate the amount of "kids" with good musical taste, a lot of "us" are getting reeeeeally tired of the same old prefabricated clone bands the record companies and music media would have us believe are cool and talented. Plus it seems the alternative and pop rock arena that was so prominent 4 or 5 years ago is slowly dying. To put it simply, nobody is coming out with anything that has an original sound. So, I'll see ya at Bremerton, I should be easy to pick out cause I'll probably be the only person there with a crowd of teenagers...=)

To Leon Redbone and His Band, It has come to my attention through Leon's keyboardist via another promoter that at Huntington Park NJ on July 13th , I played far enough overtime for it to be memorable, even months later . I would like to apologise for doing so and I hope there are no hard feelings. I simply lost all track of time. I recognize and enjoy Mr. Redbone as a superlative artist of icon status and it was far from my intention to show any disrespect. Please accept this apology, and maybe we can work together again soon. Respectfully, Vance Gilbert vanceflite@earthlink.net www.vanceflite.com

I had the pleasure to attend yet another grand performance at Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge MA. Some people refer to Leon Redbone as �neo-vaudeville performer, I like to think of him as the gravelly voiced baritone of an acoustic guitar finger pickin� gentle genius. Leon came to Sturbridge with Tom Roberts on piano and Scott (sorry I forgot his last name) on trumpet. His set list from his formidable repertoire included, Champagne Charlie, I ain�t got nobody, Ain�t Misbehavin�, Sweet Sue, Diddy Wah Diddy, The Ghost of the St. Louis Blues, When dixie stars are planying peek a boo, Desert Blues, She my gal, A song for Don Ho and many more songs which escapes my memory. If you have not yet seen Leon in concert then please do so. His shows are wonderful and the music will cause this toe tapping affect. I�ve seen Leon many times and had the great pleasure of meeting him as well as the other members of his trio. I also have a standing offer to play drums for him for free, who knows what will happen. Check out his web site for touring information. I�m also looking for guitar cords to Leon�s songs, if anyone can help me out.

I am looking for a copy of Leon Redbone's Sugar album for the song 14th Street Blues, in particular. My father would like to dance to it with my sister on her wedding night. Apparently it is out of print. Might someone know where to get a copy? If you have the software, you can email it to me as a .wav file. Any suggestions you may have would be appreciated. Thanks, Lenny

I saw Leon for the first time this week in Charlotte, NC and enjoyed every part of it. His slow, quiet and entertaining dialogue between songs kept everyone's attention focused yet relaxed. I wish I had a video of the show. I bet if one was available, it would do well. Leon's music helped me stay on the wagon after I bought and set up my first computer. Had it not been for those CD's, I'm sure I would be a miserable drunk today. Thanks.

I'm a big fan of Leon's, and I thought others might be interested in my upcoming performance. Here are the particulars: Pat Monteleone's jazz vocal/ukulele act returns to the cabaret club Don't Tell Mama on Saturday, September 30 at 6:30 PM for a one-hour show. Pat's warm, jazzy voice and tight uke instrumentals have entertained audiences for nearly twenty years. He is known to treat the music of Duke Ellington, Rodgers and Hart, Hoagy Carmichael, Irving Berlin, and other god-like composers of the Great American Songbook with the utmost respect. Pat will be joined by his friend Paul Ukena on the upright bass. Don't Tell Mama is located at 343 West 46 Street (Restaurant Row�between 8th and 9th Avenues) in New York City. For reservations, please call 212-757-0788. There is a $7 cover charge, with a 2-drink minimum order. Sorry, but Don't Tell Mama does not accept credit cards.

I'm a big fan of Leon, but also of Tom Waits. Now it seems they have toured together in the 70's. Does anyone know of these concerts, perhaps visited one? What I really would love is a recording of one of these concerts! But I suppose that's too much to ask...

Can't wait to see Leon at the Painted Bride in good, ole Philly in October. Everytime Leon performs in the Philly area I try to get front-row seats. I was the fan who blew bubbles back at Leon at his Stockton State College concert in New Jersey. The first time I met Leon I told him that I was his biggest fan and he replied, "You don't look that big to me!" ha-ha-ha! Everytime I pass Leon's plaque on South Broad Street in Philly I just stand there smiling and reminisce about all his great concerts and many hours of musical pleasure he's given me. I always have my handkerchief ready in case I need to dust off his plaque. I hope nobody calls for the "men in white coats." Thanks again for all the great times. Diddy Wa Diddyly yours.

Your music reminds of picking and singing on a back porch on a Saturday afternoon. All dressed and ready to go to town just waiting for dusk and doing a little easy tunes to kill the time. Today that would be better that what you'd find in town. Those are memories.

Hope you can make more visits to the Maryland-Northern Virginia area. Two years ago, two friends of mine attended your concert in Alexandria, VA. At the time, I was recovering from three major surgeries and couldn't attend. They brought me a special autograph on their tickets that you gave them. Really appreciated that. Unfortunately, I'll be out of state when you're in Annapolis on July 20. I look forward to your return to this area sometime in the near future on a date when I CAN attend. Best wishes.

LESUEUR, MN USA - Wednesday, June 21, 2000 at 19:12:52 (PDT)
Many moons ago, I was performing in a band at a music festival. The organizer of the festival asked me if I had a cassette that he could play over the PA system between acts, and I gave him one of my homemade tapes that I had listened to on the way to the festival. He popped it in and, when it started playing, he said, "Oh, man! I just LOVE Leon Redbone! Which album is this?" I said, "Who's Leon Redbone? You're listening to Mance Lipscomb!" He said, "Who's Mance Lipscomb? That sounds JUST LIKE Leon Redbone!" In short, we both discovered a great "new" act that day. I've been proud to be a Leon Redbone fan ever since. Glad to know that you're still performing and so much in demand, Leon. I wish you God's speed, my friend!--Mace Bean

Dear Leon: The first time my mother, father, and I ever saw you was on the original "Saturday Night Live" with Chevy Chase and the original cast. Both my father & I LOVED your blues singing & picking but my mother thought SNL was playing one of their "joke" commercials!!! Tonight, (6/15/00), my wife and I are going to go see you live at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, MN. While I don't go to very many concerts, I am looking forward to seeing & hearing you in person. Have a good day. Cheers, Eric Umstead

Leon, I missed you in ME but now that I know your tour dates, I'll catch you in Sturbridge. At my daughter's wedding, she and I danced to your tune, "Dancing on Daddy's Shoes." It was just great. Although I love your wacky style in the early years, the beauty of your voice really stands out in your last few albums, "Sugar", "Up the Lazy River", and Whistling in the Wind." Keep singing those oldies, and keep writing, some of my favorites are the ones you've written.

I have been listening to Leon for a long time now and I caught his concert in Earlville, NY in June of 1995. It was truly one of the best shows I have ever seen! He is an extremely talented musician and entertainer and I hope to see him again soon. His style is so unique I'm sure no one could ever mimic it. I just want to say "Thank you" to Leon for providing so much entertainment over the years you are truly one of the greatest performers of all time.

My baby, 7 months old Corbin, "Corey", listens to Leon Redbone with his daddy all of the time. Usually before bedtime or when we get home from daycare for a time. He smiles a big grin when daddy starts to croon. Thanks for all the tunes!

Like many others, my first Leon sighting was on Saturday Night Live when I was in my younger years. I have been hooked since then! I also hooked my brother and a few others. It only takes a few bars of anything he sings to bring my blood pressure down at work! When will the Mississippi Gulf Coast ever be blessed with an appearance?

I first heard and saw the man of mystery on SNL when I was teenager back in the 70's. At first I thought it was one of the cast members singing a song in a funny way. But the way he sang that song has never left me. Every so often I'll catch myself singing Harvest Moon like Leon. Think I'll get me some Leon Redbone cd's. Leon, Thanks for helping to scratch my musical itch.

You know how most parents sing lullabyes to get their children to sleep? Oh,no--not in my house! We had Ump-a-doompa Redbone songs sang to us! Perhaps that explains why they named that psych ward after me..... (PS Didn't anyone ever tell you you're not supposed to poke puppies?!) :-)

Dear Mr. Redbone: you have been my favorite musician/singer for at least 15 years...Why? 1.You have the most unique voice I have ever heard 2. You sing and play all the songs my father sang and played.(a local fame singer/guitar player-only 1/2 as good as you) He was born in 1916 so the 30's was his decade for music. I am very curious as to why someone as young as you chose this genre'. I am so glad you did. Listening to your music brings back all the best memories of my childhood. I would love to meet you in person and just talk about your music. If you are ever in St. Louis, you are invited to our house for supper, coffee, and a "jam session" (my brother plays guitar and owns a recording studio and I know he would love to "jam" with you.

Dear Leon, I heard your music for the first time in 1976 when this kansas boy moved to Oregon. Fresh out from under my momma's skirt and living on my own. I worked hard and played hard. I worked for a construction company and found myself with a hangover most every morning. I would drive to work in the company truck and listen to your music. It was the album with the frog on the railroad tracks. It really got me going. I had the opportunity to see you in concert in Wichita Kansas last year(1999). Please come back. Who booked you for that show anyway? Do you know Loudon Wainwright. I'd like to have coffee with you. Do you like homebrew?

Heard Leon for the first time at a diiner party last week. A friend who travels to the states had purchased some cd's whilst over there. No one has heard of him here - sorry for them. Well next time over there Phil will be buying more - if he can find some apparently it's just as difficult for fans there. We are in the Snowy Mountains (Yes we get snow in Australia)so are pretty isolated but we've still heard of Leon !!!!!

Caught Leon in Randolph a couple of years (?) ago, just as I was beginning to make music again after a ten year hiatus, and was simply transported. Am now trying desperately, and with limited success, to avoid being known as Vermont's very own Leon Redbone impersonator.... Ah well, it could be worse. Great tunes. Inimitable style. Thank you so much.

Greetings and salutations from the prairie....Kudos on your primo site out here on the cyber-sonic web thing..... Hope all is swinging back in ever hypnotic Bucks County... I've had the distinct pleasure of viewing and absorbing the fine Redbone show and review many times over the years..... in various hip venues from the dearly departed Rockefeller's in Houston to the luxurious Birchmere on the shores of the Potomac.... Always an uplifting, intoxicating and mind- bending evening ....With out doubt, your gig never fails to put a little shake in the ole shaker, hey, hey hey.... Request time, if you please.... It's always struck my feeble mind and borderline taste that "I'm A Ding-Dong Daddy" would be a killer tune for the the set....The perfect blend of man and material or something like that .....Could be that Grammy winner on-the-horizon you've always been looking for....Or the depraved ramblings of a wacko sodbuster who's been in the sticks way too long... Anyway, just a thought...For all I know you may be playing it every night for years and can't stand the damm thing....But, just had to get that off my chest....It's much cooler then blurting it out at the concert hall and suffer the shameful scorn of fellow fans and patrons.... Well, keep up the good work and hop on the trail down here to Kansas sometime soon.... The natives are getting restless in these parts for some downhome picking and yodeling....See ya around.....

Though it's true that the Venetian Room at the Fairmont no longer exists, Villa Montalvo certainly would be an acceptable substitute.

I saw Leon at the State theatre in Kalamazoo Mi. twice also at the Lumbermans Fair in Muskegon. I had my picture taken with him there. I had it enlarged to 20"x28" & keep it at the golf course where I work. I like it when people ask me "Isn't that Leon Redbone in the picture?" I think I got every albun & CD he's put out. He's is well liked in this area. I've been trying to get Bruce Williams the manager of Wings Stadium to book him, but all he say's is "Who". I'm sorry I missed him in Ann Arbor, I didn't know he was going to be there. I'm glad I found this page. Gordy Rouch

I saw Leon Redbone when I was 17 at Phoenix Hill Tavern. The place was absolutely packed and my friend and I had to stand over by the wall throughout the entire thing. But it was an experience I'll never forget. 'bone in his trademark style "lazed" through the set of music with his wonderful sidemen. The music was absolutely scintillating. To this day, I've yet to hear a concert that is even remotely as fascinating as Leon's. An incredible showman who makes it look so easy. Thanks Mr. Redbone for the last 8 years of my life that are simply fabulous.

I'm glad to consider myself a fan of yours--your music has a wonderful truth to it that pulls me through the tough days and brightens the good ones.

My wife introduced me to Leon Redbone's music shortly after we started dating. we were in her apartment and she put on a Redbone record and told me I had to hear some of her favorite music. She played "Big Chief Buffalo Nickel" and " Polly Wolly Dooddle" and thought by the stunned look on my face that she had ruined the relationship. Actually I was just stunned by the music. I hadn't heard anything like that since I was a kid sitting on my grandparents front porch while my family and the neighbors played their guitars and violins, accordians and banjos and mom played the piano while we all sang along. I still make music wherever and whenever I can and wonder if you might make any of your music available for the karaoke trade. I love doing what little there is of this type of music in a karaoke setting and seeing the audiance go from a reaction of "What on earth is this?" to "Hey, this is really cool." And it remainds people that there is something to listen to besides the stuff on the country western and pop/rock charts. Thanks for so much great music over the years.

I have been listening to Leon for a number of years now. Just wouldn't be Christmas without him. Blue Christmas and Frosty the Snow Man. Where can I get some fingerstyle arrangements of his songs? Regards! Carbon Man

I must say, the looks I get while listening to Mr. Redbones music are priceless. I think I get looked at so strange because of the close to 2 foot mohawk :) While I fully enjoy listening to modern music (Korn, STP, Alice In Chains etc.) I need to get back to my musical roots; Jimmy Buffet, Steve Miller, and Leon Redbone. Now that would be a hell of a concert. Thanks for the years of comfort, and I hope to see you in Seattle someday.

Hello from Paris I have all the records of Leon, i saw him in Paris in 1992(don't remember exactly). Now i' am lookink for chords and lyrics of his songs, specially the live records. So i am looking every where on the net for midi and B&B files, but i din't no find many of them. I want these files because i play soubassophone and there is nobody better than Leon to make me dancing with my brass bass as a bear with a tonel of honey. I am not playing with any band at the moment, so i will like to play with Leon at my home. So if you have any ideas, please send me a e mail. Happy new year to Leon and all the gang ------pierre paul

I saw Mr. Redbone a couple of years ago at Chans Resteraunt in Woonsocket RI. It was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. I took my farther for a farthers day present, because Leon is his favorite singer and he goes around whistling his tunes all the day long. I've never seen him so happy. A friend went to see him about six month earlier and got my dad his autograph in lipstick (how appropriate) and he has it framed with a newspaper cut out of Leon. Thanks for the super show and the fond memories Leon, and I wish you could make it back to Chans more often. Jaybyrd

Went to Leon's show at the "Towne Crier Cafe" last Saturday night (Dec. 18,1999). Another great Leon performance as usual. With him was his clarinetist and straightman Dan Levinson, another talented man. I got to the show very early and as I walked in there Leon was doing sound checks on stage. I waited for him to finish and then approached him. He was very kind and in a very up mood.. I asked him to autograph my "Double Time" cd and to pose for a photo with me. He cordially did both and made the whole night extra special. The photo and autograph are being framed and hung on the wall over my desk at home. Thanks ever so much for everything Leon, especially the great,great music!!

My father, LJL Jr., turned me on to Leon at an early age. Dad was very eclectic in his musical tastes and really enjoyed listening to Leon. Unfortunately, he passed away early in life never having the opportunity to see Leon live. I, however, was able to see him live in Atlanta, GA. That was a very special event for me. Thanks for the sweet memories Leon.

My wife and I have never seen Leon perform live before, but are excited to have been able to obtain tickets to see him next week in Akron, Ohio. "Christmas Island" is our favorite Christmas CD. We tried to buy a couple of copies to give as gifts, but to our surprise, we were told that it is out of print!! What a shame!

I saw Leon live one time back in '81 (front row seats!) and I used to have "Double Time","On The Track","Champagne Charlie",and "From Branch to Branch" on vinyl but foolishly threw them out after my record player broke and CD's started taking over. Now I discover all these years later that he is still recording and still performing!!! I want to re-collect what I had before as well as get all of his other CD's but I've got a thing against buying stuff online. (I know - I'm a dinosaur!) can anyone help me locate a place to get his recordings by mail order or at a store in or near the San Bernardino area? I would be extremely grateful!!! Thanks a lot for providing this site!

I saw his performance 8 years ago at NBC studio (Johnny Carson show). Since then, I am a big fan of Leon. He is great. His songs always brings me peace and happiness. I want to see his performance more often on TV instead of hearing his several tv commercial songs. He is definately bigger than TV commercial singer.

well, it all started on a trip to NYC. My mother said: "Hey you guys (my brother and me), do you want to hear something really cool?" She was obviously tired of our selections. So she put in a CD remake of On the Track. Well, that was the last CD that we listened to, because we all got such a kick out of it. Needless to say, I've infected everyone that I know with your music, I even cut a tape for my girlfriend. If you ever come to the Falls, look us up!

I saw Leon in a movie today and it was the first time I had ever seen him and I tracked him down by searching for the song he sang in the movie "Bittersweet Waltz" which I LOVED. But to be honest what attracted me to him the most is that his music reminded me of my all time favorite "Hank Williams Sr." I will be buying Leons music now and I hope that he comes to NY if he does and I am aware of it I WON"T MISS IT!!!

Leon, when is the blues album coming out? Hopefully soon....how about "catman" as one of the tracks? You are supernatural, like a ghost from the past. I saw you one day in San Francisco, you walked right past me and around the corner. I followed in the hopes of getting an autograph, but when I rounded the corner only seconds later- you had disappeared. There were no shops or doors, just a truckyard...nowhere to disappear. To this day I can't explain it. Maybe you're the ghost of Fats Waller. I hope to hear the new album soon!

I have recently re-purchased some old vinyl's of Leon's records and I must say what a snag! Since I left home 6 years ago I had been without my beloved collection of Leon Recordings. Oh what a joy it is, to again be able to sit back and relax to the soothing, wonderful sounds of the master.

Hey, we really love Leon Redbone's music and are long time fans. Having listend to a live album of his, we would love to actually have the oppertunity to see him perform live the next time he pays a visit to the area (the south). We get the feeling that you just have to see him live to get the full experience.

Finally, the Leon Redbone site! Too bad, it's about everything except the man himself. At least I hope he gets to hear this: It's great to have someone continuing the tradition of fine musicians such as Fats Waller or Jack Teagarden in the 90's. However, while we have great versions of "Ain't Misbehavin�" and other classic tunes there's plenty of songs that I would just love to hear being played by him. How about "Someone's Rocking my Dream Boat" or "In the Merry Month of May?�

Leon-I heard you sing a song once entitled (I think) Prarie Lullaby--my father sang that song to us when we were very little & he carried us up to bed. We'd love to have the lyrics to that song & have searched unsuccessfully--where can we find that song! P.S. Everybody loves your tapes--but it's most fun listening to your Christmas CD...

Dear Leon, Why, why, why in the world don't you record more songs. Songs like "A Hot Time in The Old Town Tonight", or "Step it Up and Go", or "Seduced", or "Big Time Woman", or etc, etc, etc. You know, you are so original (be careful now). And if many don't appreciate you be sure they are that majority fooled by the junk music brought up today through the publicity meant to squeeze money. It was enough to hear you singing one song, "Crazy Blues", and I relized you're a talent (be careful). Leon you don't have many records and that's a pitty. If the money is an issue forget about it at least for a while. Just record for the sake of art. You'll remain in history and that's what counts most.

First saw Leon on SNL in the mid-70s and was hooked. Inspired me to learn to play guitar. Have all his albums, even a few less famous ones. See him whenever he's in the Pittsburgh, PA area. The first time was in 77 when he opened for David Bromberg at Soldiers and Sailors. Keep the music and high jinx coming!

Unfortunately Leon is not that well known here in Australia, though I have converted many fans Thats not hard, just put on an album & they soon ask "Who is THAT?" & soon after "Where did you get it?" I would like to encourage Leon to return to Australia again & maybe visit the East Coast Blues & Roots Festival in Byron Bay next Easter. I have never seen him live but have read the glowing reports in this guestbook & have turned green with envy! If the live performances out do the recorded ones it must be fantastic!

Gotta add my two cents, Leon Redbone captures what God created music for, to fill the soul with just good things, first saw Leon on SNL with Johnason Dorn the tuba player, I was mesmerized by the beautiful music they made, I well admit some of my friends take awhile to catch on but most of them usually do and when they do a new world of sound opens up to them, saw him live at the "Coach House" in So Calif., sat just five feet from the man for 90 minutes, what a showmen, truly original, one of a kind, I have all his vinyl and now duplicated them all on Cds. His Christmas album " Christmas Island" is my favorite holiday music. I'm always amazed by the musicians he has on his albums, this man really attracts the best. Looking forward to the next concert within 500 miles.

I would like to know if Leon is going to visit South America, only once. It would be great!!! I have a band too, but we do only rock. You could visit our page www.superatones.com the name of the band is "Super ratones" (Mighty mouses). Thank you Leon for your music!!!! bye lisandro

Every time I'm able to catch you live, it touches me. Here's at least one artist who hasn't sold themselves out for commercial success. I saw you last in St. Louis at the Sheldon Music Hall (some of the best accoustics in the USA), and your show was superb, although you couldn't keep your clarinetist from laughing. I spoke with the sound engineer after the show, and during our conversation of mutual admiration of the just-completed preformance he shared with me the fact that you had asked him to tape the performance, which reminded me that I've often wished you'd release a live album. Your music and personality come alive in front of an audience in a way no studio recording can capture. (If you need someone to finance the project, hell let me know, and I'll come up with the dough if need be) Best wishes for continued success. I'll keep a lookout for your shot glass, may it grace our presence here in St. Louis sometime soon.

From: Karl R Peterson To: ERUSH@ERUSHAGENCY.COM Subject: wood stock performance Date: Sunday, March 28, 1999 12:42 PM To whom it may concern: I am a city official who had the opportunity to visit Woodstock Opera House on the night of March 27th, to see Leon Redbone, who has been my favorite singer for year's. I saw Leon Redbone at the Paramount Arts Theatre in Aurora, IL- 6 year's ago, and this was not the man I saw last night!!!!!!! The concert my wife and I saw last night was short, choppy, and I think the clarinette player was drunk...(or very sick). Was told by an usher that Friday nights performance was 20 minutes shorter, and that the crowd even heckled him. It bothers me to see a performer of his stature go down like this. Maybe Mr. Redbone had better stick to studio recording, as I have not seen any new CD's lately. I would like to highly recommend him to play at our opera house in Sandwich but, if this is the type of performances he is giving these days I will not! p.s. The performance of the piano player as excellent! A worried fan, Karl Robert Peterson gh�

I've been a die hard fan of Leon since the Saturday Night Live days. Saw him in September 97 performing outdoors in Bucks County, PA. He knocked my socks off!! Got to meet him backstage and got some awesome oictures.

Great! A Leon Redbone website. At last I can find out which CD's I'm still missing. They are hard to find in Holland. Leon should really come over here for a few concerts. They first time I saw him here was in the late 70's, when he performed here just with his tubaplayer. It swept us off our feets. 'Christmas island' didn't come out of my CD-player until mid-january...

Leon, great show in Red Bank,N.J. last november, and what a super trio of musicians! The piano player was absolutely nationwide! (may I obsequiously submit that perhaps with a couple of extra musicians to carry some weight, you could have put on a longer show?) My greatest open-mike night success has always been your version of "Ain't Misbehavin". I hope you don't mind.

After many web searches for Leon over several years, I just found this spot. I've been a fan since the first SNL appearances. bought all the records, wrote a few fan letters and even got to see the man once in Indianapolis. My (now)ex-wife had heard the music at home but experiencing Leon live really caught her attention - we had a fantastic time. The Vogue was sold out. I even got to speak in passing "hi, great show" to the very lovely & talented Cyndi Cashdollar outside after the concert. So, when's the next record due? Seems like many years since Whistling in the Wind came out...I check Leon's bin for something new everytime I go into a record store. Yowza!

Mr. Redbone: AWESOME - my first internet searching experience and "I wanna be seduced" at "the chocolate bon bon ball". A L L my co-workers had to listen to your music and a couple more became fans. "If i could be with you" just in attending a performance, it would be a pleasure.

Dear Mr. Leon Redbone, You are "the man" in my book. I saw you at Janie's Sunset Strip in Orlando, FL and was sitting right up front. I am going to go see you in Ocala 2/28. I am bringing my prized guitar and an oversized Magic Marker in hopes you will sign it. You were "retro" when "retro wasn't cool". Your fan for life.............Mark Johnson

Words can't express my enjoyment of your music. My husband had recorded a show on TV several years ago when you sang "I Ain't Got Nobody" and I was hooked. Don't want to miss an occassion to see you. Any way of getting an autographed picture of you saying "To Linda & Jimmy Baker"? Trying to find some of your tapes. Thanks, Linda & Jimmy Baker.

Leon Redbone is fantastic. I'm so glad that finally a website has been planned for this talent. If you need submissions -- scanned photos, a Leon Redbone Far Side cartoon, or other items submitted for the site, just let me know. I'd love to know I contributed in some way to this place. BTW - Red To Blue is my favorite album! Ah, the college memories everytime it's played.

There is nothing to equal The Leon Redbone Experience. He's a great big mys-ter-y...is he real, or is he a wind-up toy? We have all his recordings...mostly LP's (remember vinyl?). Have seen him in person several times - Tampa Theatre, Bayfront Centre Mahaffey Theatre, Tierra Verde - and hope to see him Feb. 27 at Jannus Landing. Live Long & Prosper, Leon (there's a thought - perhaps he's a Vulcan - must check his ears next time he raises his hat and softly says "Dankadankadanka...y'sh'd'n't've, y'sh'dn't've...")!

I got to see Leon October 3rd in Milwaukee, and the only disappointment was he didn't play longer. He was opening for Leo Kottke, and put on a great show. That means he hardly acknowledged the crowd, just played his music a made a few extremely dry remarks. That's the beauty of it. You either get it, or you don't, and he doesn't compromise himself for a larger audience. You have to respect that.
