    I had the privilege of seeing Leon in concert when he was touring with Willie Nelson and I can still see that beautiful silver hair sitting behind his piano. I have always loved Leon Russell from day one. There will never be another one like him.

    I lived in Oklahoma in the 70's in college. And I saw ol' Leon Russell many of times. With Joe Cocker, Rita Coolidge, the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tours. I don't know why he was never in California. Never toured there. Nobody ever heard of him! But he was so cool. He'd play in a field out in the sun. Regular guy. Tightrope.......A Song For You.......Delta Lady
