    I met Steve Lukather at a VIP meet and greet, when he was doing a solo tour about 10 years ago, or so. He was friendly, funny, actually took the time to talk to me, had a long chat - still have a great picture with him. Genuinely nice man, and a real antidote to 'never meet your heroes'. Have kept up with everything he does ever since.

    I read Luke's book... I've been a fan of his for over 4 decades.. since he was on Boz Scaggs' records. He's such a monster player and musician and he is funny as hell . One of my true heroes .

      I tend to read all manner of crappy sci-fi and adventure stuff I get from Google play/Amazon - all free. Luke's book, I bought. There's like a list of artists whose songs he's played on at the end and I swear it adds a thousand extra pages to the book. What a body of work the guy has built up.

    I don't think there's ever been a conversation that began with Steve Lukather that segued into mentioning an episode of the Andy Griffith show. I love your tangents, Leland.

    Love ya Lee!! You’re the best- thanks for playing those great Luke tracks & thanks for reminding everyone to stay safe, get vaxxed, etc. We have an awesome opportunity in the US that other countries wish for, as far as access to vaccines. We’re the lucky ones! ❤️

    It really is incredible to think of how young the guys in Toto were when then began - and some of them already had established themselves before Toto!

    Great post, Lee!
    I once had the honor of taping a pre-show interview with Luke in 1999, when Toto played in Reno ( both Mike and Simon were still in the band ). He had me ROLLING with laughter at some of his session stories, including one story of Jay Graydon getting his effects board getting peed on by the late/great Jeff Porcaro.
    Luke is an outstanding musician. One of the very things I adore about him is his never ending hunger in being a better musician. He and Edward Van Halen ( along with Joe Satriani ) are my top three favorite guitarists. Luke's songwriting sense is like a cinematic journey for the ears ( and heart ). And that " Transition " album of his is sensational.
    Be well, Lee!

    Good morning, Lee. It's been awhile since I tuned into your channel, but when I saw this on my recommended videos, with "the master" Steve Lukather linked to it, I knew I had to watch. I now realize what I've been missing for a few months...your insight, humor and kindness.

    Such talent in that studio when this was recorded - incredible. Steve's guitar work is so signature - pure gold and so fluidic.
    (Keep us posted on that bird's nest - sounds beautiful.). Love that bass groove on Creep Motel - the bass line reminds me a little of a blues tune from the 90s called "Black Velvet". Awesome.

    I hope, my judgement day is still far away as I‘m only 65. Well, I have CDs of Steve, saw him playing with Toto, of course, but also in one of his solo concerts in Austria. Great cool guitar player. My concert highlight was a Toto concert in Innsbruck/Austria with ………….. with Leland Sklar on bass. 👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻

    Hi Lee and channel family! I hope y'all had a great safe holiday weekend. I must admit I've had my fill of fireworks...had them going off at all four corners of my neighborhood all hours of the night ( morning). I only heard of one house fire and garage burned down from someone putting used fireworks in the garage without making sure they were not still smoldering....SMH... Well anyway, Lee I'm really enjoying the music and your insight on not just the music but the music business...two wildly different animals. Have a Great day all!

    I saw ToTo numerous times but never with you in it!!
    The only time I saw you was back in 1993 when you toured with Véronique Sanson.
    Saw the show in Voiron, France. I was 15 at the time (never been a big Sanson fan but I got a free ticket so I figured "What the hell?") and I remember vividly going apeshit when you stepped on stage. I was like "Holy f**k that's Lee Sklar! That's Lee Sklar!"
    I did not take my eyes off you for the entire gig. I remember Basil Fung was in the band as well, if memory serves me right.
    Anyway, just wanted to send you some love.
    Cheers from France!

    Lee, I was fairly obsessed with the "40 acre backlot" at Desilu Studios, where the Andy Griffith Show and many more were filmed. There is a whole historical society program about that area. What is so interesting is how the studios (Desi Arnaz/Lucille Ball were the owners at the time) allowed the property to fall into disrepair and never saw the worth of letting tourists tour that area of streets and buildings. So many shows were filmed there. I do like that show and it fascinates me to think about the world created for that show and many others.

    Hi Leland, just in case you don't know, I wanted to share the sad news that Rick Laird passed away. Many of course know Rick from his rock solid work as the heartbeat of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, but they may not know he was also a major figure in the UK jazz scene of the 60s as an upright virtuoso. As part of this, he was for a time the house bassist for the famous Ronnie Scott's jazz club.

    Ever Changing Times and Transition are the two albums of Luke where you can tell he has really grown in his style of playing. Not saying his older solo projects weren't good. They were. But you can tell he has matured both in his style of playing, emotionally and mentally. I really love Transition
