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.

Thank you for coming to Murfreesboro on the 19th of Sept and I hope to catch you again in Chattanooga tomorrow night. It was a pleasure to see you perform after all these years. I was glad to see that I am not the only one who enjoy to take pictures of their audience when they perform. Much fun, indeed! Best regards, WR

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.

Absolutely timeless. He is one of the finest blues singers ever, and I am convinced that history will remember him as such. One of my personal favorites is "I want to be Seduced..." NO ONE sings a song like that but LR!

I see you are coming to Chattanooga September 20, 2002. I am looking forward to seeing/hearing you perform! Please play "Ain't Misbehavin"! I also saw you on a Sat Night Live rerun playing that tune and it was just great. As an aspiring guitar player I really enjoyed the finger picking on that tune. Thanks for not retiring just yet...

Hello...I just saw Leon on a sat. Night Live re-run from 1975. I remember going out and buying his album,when I moved to boston in 1976. Because I had seen him on SNL the year before. Where did all the time go. Leon is timeless.

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

Had the pleasure of seeing you at Chan's. Great small setting. My wife asked you to sing a song off one of your CD's and you said " I don't know it " Thought that was great. Do us all a great favor and come back to Rhode Island.

I was delighted that Leon Redbone was giving a free concert in a local park!! I have called radio stations to find out why they do not play his recordings. No one has an answer. I hope Leon will consider playing at the Garden State Art Center. I could fill the place up with just my friends!!
