    I got up earlier this morning to go out with the road sweeper and we are in the middle of a rain storm... so I made myself a flat white and I am kicking back listening to Mr Leland Sklar reminiscing on a life that continues to be so well lived making the most of every moment.
    You are such a treat to listen to, your story telling and music has got me the 2 major lockdowns here in New Zealand.
    Thankyou for the stories and thankyou for the music.... and thankyou for the very blunt and mater of fact political commentary on Facebook... sometimes we all need to be cracked out of our funk ...
    "Empty your cages and see the trees filled with life".... you gotta love that....
    Anyway rains storm is setting down.... got to get into my Thurday morning here in NZ

    My father taught Andy Griffith’s younger brother, Sandy Griffith, how to fly in Kansas back in the mid sixties. Another weird story that connects us all. Anyway, you’re a hell of a great storyteller. Bests.

    😁😁. Must be your most excellent karma!!!! I came a little too close to being run over by John Wayne in my little cheerleading outfit (band auxiliary) back in H.S.-- but that brush with celebrity thing doesn't work out the same way for all of us, ha!
    Seriously (we all love the stories and) the Gershwin behind you reminded me of the recurring theme of varied paths within musicians' careers. Also back in HS we had a choral accompanist who used Gershwin while competing in the Miss CA pageant. She was, at that point, a classically trained pianist with a music degree, beautiful, and had lustrous dark hair somewhere down past her waist. Also a tremendous vocalist and tall. Star quality. And she has definitely had a long career in music (restaurant work, musical direction, college teaching, performing in groups she formed, etc etc etc and she seems to have had an exemplary life. But do not see her in coverage of the Met Gala....

    You are absolutely right about Slingblade. 'Carl' was as seminal a character to the film as Boo Radley was in To Kill A Mockingbird. Serendipity gives us unexpected opportunities, and your encounter with Billy Bob Thornton was certainly one of those. I flipped between Colbert who hosted Bob Woodward & Robert Costas discussing their fascinating, if frightening, book 'Peril', and watching Kimmel. I should have pvr'd one, to my regret. As usual, your stories delight. You made my day.
