Leland, you're the man. He's the reason why and how I learned how to play the bass. Since I saw the Live in Berlin video with Phil Collins, I told myself, wow, he plays the bass that seems simple but with class and elegance.
Such a COOL BOOK.....I was one of the first 50 people that purchased the book when it first came out and Lelan was kind enough to Autographed it for US. It's a Great book for any Music buff's collection..
I've been following Lee on his RUclips channel for some time now. Great stories and one of the most down-to-earth guys in the world. Did I mention, talented?
Mr. Sklar had been saving all those pictures - and the book itself - for a rainy day. Good timing as the wet weather has definitely returned to the West Coast with a vengeance.
WHAT A TREAT, TWO GREATS IN ONE ROOM!!! Norm you never cease to amaze me with the talent that comes through your store. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! And, Lee has given the world so many years of GREAT music. Every time I've seen you, you gave an excellent performance and I thank you because your music has had a part in so many events in my lifetime. Thank You.
So wish I could have come out, not only to visit Lee, but to meet Norm and see this legendary store firsthand! I remember hearing about this wacky (and entirely awesome) idea for a "finger book" back around 2011 or 2012. Was beyond thrilled when it actually materialized!
I had the pleasure of meeting Lee after the final Toto show in Philadelphia. I have to say out of all the famous people that I have meant, the Top 4 NICEST People 1. Lee 2. Steve Vai 3. Steve Lukather and 4. Gene Simmons
Handy If your parked on a hill must rank as one of the best if not the best ........actually, introductions to a book i have ever heard which i am still smiling about right now. Its like you just warm to some people don't you. Thank you Norman for enlightening one who initialy didn't know of Leland Sklar.
I was working at a studio and Peter Asher brought Lee into play bass on a film soundtrack. Coolest guy ever. As nice a person as you’ll ever meet. Insisted I give him the finger so he could take a Polaroid. At first i refused but he insisted, saying everyone does it. I had no idea.
Friends in high places. Sweet rarified air. I would love to be a fly on the wall…holy moly. Like Lou Reed sang “It's work” but what a job, and what joy you’ve been a part of. Hey…aren’t you the…. ? I kid! Cheers Lee!
How much songs, hits, he was playing the bass in the studio session ? Unbelievable much, I remember me on We are all alone by Rita Coolidge, Fire and Rain by James Taylor, played with C,S,N, with Veronique Sanson, TOTO, Phil Collins collab (another day in paradise i.e., Rich girl by Hall and Oates, Running on empty by Jacksone Browne or I am woman by Helen Reddy, so congrats for this guest in your shop.
Indeed, I've often thought of hanging around there, not only to meet Norm and the crew, but any famous players who might drop in - seems to happen on a daily basis.
Just think of all the "diva behavior" stories Lee could tell, but he never goes there. True gentleman... dang it!
Ladies and gentlemen!
That is what a legend looks like right there!🎸
Guys like him, Chuck Rainey, all master studio and session guys. Truly the backbone of the industry
Thank you for this!
I've PERSONALLY gotten the SINGLE DIGIT FROM LEE HIMSELF!!! MY LIFE IS NOW TRULY COMPLETE
No wonder everybody loves him , he has a special character that exempilfys- Can Do . got to love Lee!
Leland Sklar is one of the best of all time.
that was fun, two codgers and long time friends just chatting away. Also, I love seeing that cherry red Herb Ellis jazz box.
Leland, you're the man. He's the reason why and how I learned how to play the bass. Since I saw the Live in Berlin video with Phil Collins, I told myself, wow, he plays the bass that seems simple but with class and elegance.

Lee seems like such a genuinely nice, humble person. Really enjoy listening to him speak..
He is a genuinely nice man. Met him once after a concert and I felt like I was talking to an old friend.
Legend Lee!

Beautiful! My friend Fred Walecki is in Lee’s book several times. I’m sure you know him, Norm. Westwood music back in the day.
Both of you are such class acts. So happy to see this wonderful interview!
This was beyond fab! Thank you, boys. Love from Norway -

My favorite Bassist! Him and Geddy Lee

He's neck and neck with Chuck Rainey and Carol Kaye among first-call electric bass players.
What a treat this is.❤
two awesome dudes!!
Is My Pal Leland Sklar in Geddy Lee's big beautiful book of Bass ?
Legend! 👍🏻🙏🏻
Why doesn't anybody talk about russ Kunkle. The baddest session drummer also during this time frame.
One the greatest baseline creators of all time..cheers Lee 🤘🏼
The Band producer was John Simon.
How awesome would it have been to stop at the store to check out a couple of basses and meet both Norm and Leland?
Indeed, I've often thought of hanging around there, not only to meet Norm and the crew, but any famous players who might drop in - seems to happen on a daily basis.
That list is hysterically impressive.
My wife won't let me buy the book😢
Fantastic!!?👍👍
a Traynor amp!!! Canadas great secret.. Don't let it out or they'll become far more expensive!!
Yes as a Canadian I spotted that as well , I thought I was the only one 🇨🇦
Yeah Leland Sklar 💜👩💜😎
Great stuff Norm ,love you guys
Leland Rules
It’s a great book
Thanks for the education!
Hey Norm, Do you know any of the player from Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, Skynyrd call them the Swampers, they been known to pick a song or two.
