    I love when Lee talks about being onstage and having a bit of a transcendental moment. I.have felt, at times, almost as though I was floating above the band and watching it all, playing bass and yet somehow dissociated. Especially when the band was on fire. ✌️🙏🎸

    Lee Sklar played on some of my favourite songs in the 70s. Although music has moved on to computerised sounds you can’t beat a bass player with a great pocket playing for the song and that’s Lee Sklar!

    Lots of us follow Leland’s YT Channel to which he posts he reminiscences of his incredible recording and performance career interposed with thoughts of his day ahead and his beautifully designed and well kept back yard with his beloved semi-Italian basset hounds. But having watched hundreds of his YT vids, this may be his best ever, I think, and wonder why.

    Very humble man, Leland Sklar, and one GD great bassist. I first noticed him with James Taylor, a live show in Boston, maybe 1988(?). Lee was dressed to the nines in a B&W outfit with spats on his feet. At some point in the show, JT points to Lee and says to the crowd, "Does he look great or what?!". And it was true, Lee was GQ City on that night.

    Aloha Nick, I hope you don’t mind me subbing your channel today?
    I’ve been a big fan of Leland’s even though I’ve met him many times in person. He always has some great stories to listen to, it’s like, dang, I wish I was there myself also.
    Leland and Maureen are perfect examples how they are just regular people with ordinary lives, doing normal things like washing the car, taking their dogs out for walks and yes, bagging poo like anyone else that owns great pets, which are just as important as any other family member, you just do all that you can for them.
    I hope that I can convince you to continue making these YT videos and if you ever get the pleasure to travel to the Honolulu area, I would love to give you a grand tour of this island and not just the touristy stuff either. Mahalo❤
