I'll have you know, Mr. Sklar: Since you have been spotlighting artists that you have played with, I have purchased numerous songs/albums from people like Judith Owen and others that were unknown to me.. All those great artists and others owe you a SOLID! I'm so grateful to you for intro'ing me to Judith Owen.
Happy Friday Lee! That was wonderful as always and wanted you know how much you warmed my soul just now when you said you’ll always have a place to come to. What a generous and comforting thought. Please also know that I don’t take these daily goodies for granted because you’re a special human to me in this world. ❤️☮️
Now that I’m fully vaccinated I’ve started going to the gym again. Fully masked, sanitized machines after every use etc. anyway that second song to the hiphop beat was at the perfect meter for the treadmill.....It was fun kinda “dancing along” this morning with Lee and the gang. Thanks!😁
Hi Lee - I am so thrilled for you on the impending recording session with the IFamily. And so sorry about the shipping nightmares , (I can empathize!). Thank you for sharing this gorgeous piece from Randy - stunning stuff. Much love and peace-
Afternoon Lee. I count myself as lucky having gotten to see him play live. He walked out onto the stage and played for a few hours, hit after hit, they just kept rolling out. Hahaha! I've loved Randy's music ever since I heard Sail Away on one of those K-tel 70's Super Hits albums. The best... thanks once again.
Love this man and his disproportionately gifted immediate and extended family, too. Thomas Newman is another longtime favorite. The Newmanian talent well is apparently bottomless. It’s just not fair. 😂
Sad to hear about your post going astray. Worked in a small wholesale business exporting all over the world. Fiddly and complicated inventory, to the Outback in Oz, south of the Arctic circle in Canada, Chile or Colombia (in the middle of another civil war) or a dusty industrial park on the outskirts of Beijing, no problem. Southern Europe, forget it! Great tracks today, and loved the latest dogs video.
Lee.......love ya man. You bring decades of smiles and happiness. Sitting here digging music from 1976, and I look and see, yeah, there you are again: "Personnel: -Leland Sklar - bass guitar (1, 6, 7) -Jeff Porcaro - drums (5-8) " There's no point in naming the LP, because we all know it's good. And it was good...even great. Take care and know you have friends whom you've never met.
Interesting production; such distinct songs. I am sorry to hear about delivery problems; I've been there... I'll flip to them 👌. (My wife has just passed by and said that you seem to be part of the family since she hears your voice everyday in the house.) You all keep safe out there!
Randy Newman-one of those voices you recognize in just a couple notes. And some songs are unmistakably Randy Newman songs, and others you scratch your head and ask: He wrote *that*?!? Stay safe and stay well!
Randy Newman,--- How unique, and diversified. I think he could write songs about ANYTHING and they would be relevant to any time in History in any part of the world for everyone. No BS with Randy, hundreds of different melodies that take you to where He wants to take you. Such a Gift. Thanks Leland! Any song I hear when Randy sings, I know immediately who is singing. Love 'em. You too guys! Have a good weekend. Maureen, Leland and the infamous KnuckleHeads. Doug. It's getting warmer in Green Bay, WI and I'm feelin' stronger everyday. Later folks
Land of Dreams has always been my favorite Randy Newman album. Outstanding musically, well produced, and the lyrics always paint a vivid picture. I need to dig back into my CDs and pull it up. Thanks.
I lurve LA. I lurve it!! Especially with short people who got no reason. Postal problems? Send it by Pony Express. No problem for Pasadena's entrepreneur extraordinaire. I saw that Jeff Lynne & Tom Petty were on this album somewhere. Take great care LS, family, and all the Sklarite tribes people everywhere.
Randy Newman has such a vast musical knowledge. He adds so much to the orchestrations of his songs. Also I recommend checking out Randy Newman's Faust, a soundtrack of a musical that never made it to Broadway. It's unbelievable with amazing performances by Tom Petty, Linda Rondstadt among others.
@@lelandsklar6363 Love it. “The Rockford Files” is one of the best theme songs ever done and I think Mike is the John Williams of TV scores. Would love to hear more about the record he produced for your band.
Randy Newman always is surprising, a little rap, hip hop..go on!! He has always been a favoite from Let's drop the big one now..to short people...won i was told to bear witness to.I belive Randy came from a musical family...maybe if i recall right.Thanks for Leland for bring me up to speed.Stay safe be safe.So revelant as always.Shalom
@@lelandsklar6363 Probably my all time fave film. Long live John Candy. One of the funniest people ever. I should have known that you worked on that movie, Leland. That's great! Your videos are gold. Or should that be platinum? :-) Thanks for doing all that you do. From another Randy, NY state
I am getting my vacinne Wednesday. I can feel gigs around the corner! I actually have a tour set for the fall and two of my bands a working on new music! Exciting!
One of my all time favorites! Randy Newman. He has a way of putting into words and music what one is feeling about things of our time. Thanks for this. BTW, some of the bass playing sounded like arco. You said you did it with a volume pedal. Interesting...
I see what you mean about "Follow the Flag" & "Roll With the Punches". Times have changed so much that many people who would take up this song today would not be those that supported it when written. The song didn't change, we did.
Although we are Facebook friends, I've just started to watch the videos. My friend (if I may be so bold) you bring a lot of hope along with the music...
Yeah, people want to complain about the US Postal Service. They have no idea how bad it is in the rest of the world! I give thanks for the service we get on our end.
My sister in law has worked for the postal service for years. They bust their butts every day. My problems have been at the receiving end of the deliveries!
Don't overwork yourself Lee! I enjoy your stories. Whether you play along or not (unless you want to keep the chops up), make no difference to me. You have nothing to prove here.... Still love Randy Newman BTW!! 348.
Any news on the idea of selling the beard-T-shirts to Europe? My daughter reminded me today about the idea of buying three shirts for all of us (except my wife..)
It is really the cost of mailing that sucks. I would be happy to mail some to Europe. Would just have to check on cost and then it would be up to the buyer.
Yes, please. Of course it will be more expensive but I am willing to order them even if I have to pay let’s 100% more than usual. ... and suddenly my wife wants to have one as well (I told her that you replied and now she has a bad feeling.... ;-) ...)
This is such a great album! And one of my all time favorite music videos is "It's Money that Matters," especially the little fat guy in a red jump suit with the big blonde wife and the great big pool in the backyard (and another great big pool beside it). 🤣
GREAT news about the new tunes!!!!👍😎 Can hardly wait👍😎 Think Mark Twain would have a thing or two to say about nonsense vs. depth percieved by a listening audience 🤣👍😎 👍😎❤🖖 Love brother
Happy Aloha Friday everyone, I just love Randy Newman, his irony, sarcasm and of course musicianship is certainly unmatched and to no surprise, Leland is part of this :-))
Interesting to find out that Randy was involved with the soundtrack for the movies Seabiscuit, Cars, Toy Story Two and Toy Story Three as well as others.
Hello Mr Leeland S. Again i have enjoyed your video. Please send me information on how to order your books, i would like to get several. I know you're busy this is my second message,Thank you very much (RESPECT)😁✌
Some people have given up on international shipping because there is no dedication to the task by post office workers any more. Look at what happened during the election?
Frustrating to hear about the books. A lot of extra work for thee, Lee. Great news about seeing some light at the end of the Immediate Family rehearsal tunnel. :-)
The dude definitely found the zone and stayed there. Culture has changed, is and always will change. Sometimes for better sometimes not sometimes for now but not for later. Comma.
Hey Lee, I was listening the song "Under the Falling Sky" by Jackson Browne and would really love to hear you play that for us at some point. As always, thanks for the "hang".
You mentioned Van Dyke Parks. One of my favorite set of lyrics of his come from a Beach Boys album called Surf's Up. The song is called, same as the album title, Surf's Up. Amazing song musically and lyrically. Liked the first song, second one, not so much, the third song was nice and the fourth was interesting and like you said classic Newman, reminded of Dylan for some reason. Loved the piano on that one, that I could picture Dr. John playing.
I saw you at the Univeral Amphitheatre with JT and Randy Newman was the opening act. I think it was the mid-80's. Had you already worked with Randy at that point?
Hello, Lee. I have two questions that I hope you'll review: Was there any significance to the "Leave Me alone" shirt you were wearing during the Phil Collins 'Something Happened...' video? Also, all of those years playing bass with the bent right-hand wrist...has that had any physical toll? Thank you, kindly. Hope all is well.
Was just a T shirt that I had. Maybe a bit subliminal. As for my wrist, it is not like that as much when standing and playing. And on upright it would not be that way! Has not been a bother though in any position.
Sad to think that Randy's style of satire would be next to impossible today. Poking fun at racists by impersonating them and lampooning their thought processes? Never happen.
@Steve Rolfe. the saddest part for me is when these artists send themselves up and take the piss then get serious grief for it, it's a sad state of affiars when you can't even make fun of yourself
Hi Leland: Question: Is it OK to share the youtube videos of the clubhouse live stream chats? I've about 3000 FaceBook friends. I'm sure some of them would like to join. Thanks
I'll have you know, Mr. Sklar: Since you have been spotlighting artists that you have played with, I have purchased numerous songs/albums from people like Judith Owen and others that were unknown to me.. All those great artists and others owe you a SOLID! I'm so grateful to you for intro'ing me to Judith Owen.
@Taryn You are not alone there. Along with many others on this channel I too have added several artists to our libraries. Neat Eh.? 😎 😊

Please also know that I don’t take these daily goodies for granted because you’re a special human to me in this world. ❤️☮️
Randy Newman is so unique yet so steeped in musical past and touchstones.
Bad News From Home is classic Newman. Beautiful.
Love coming here.
Thanks Leland.

Randy Newman is a genius and I have loved all his work. His sense of humour is lost on some, but his words mean so much.
“His sense of humour is lost on some” I feel very badly indeed for those folk!
@@sethcashman1011 me too, obviously have led sheltered Lives. 😁
Land of Dreams is one of my all-time favorites. Unique, unforgettable songs. Greetings from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Hi to my hometown.........
Thank you Lee!! Enjoy your day.
Great job on another great show!!!
Randy Newman-one of those voices you recognize in just a couple notes. And some songs are unmistakably Randy Newman songs, and others you scratch your head and ask: He wrote *that*?!?
Stay safe and stay well!
Absolutely! Who would guess that "Just One Smile" or "I Don't Want to Hear It Anymore" were written by Randy Newman?
@@ericfleetwood6744 He used to write pop songs too!
Love this whole album of Randy's. Great song this one. I have a lot of childhood memories with this one.
Beautiful.....great variety, very fond of Randy Newman. Thank you, as usual......awesomeness!
I love the tone of the piano.
Maple syrup sound.
Great voice too.
I can well imagine Mark Knopfler giving the finger.☺️
Hi Ann, how's it going?
Randy Newman is one of my favorite musicians and composers of all time. Coupled with my favorite bass player ... could it be any better?
Randy is cutely making a point in that last one.....If you do not know Randy's music you could take it the wrong way....But it is meant only in good.
Absolutely

Follow the Flag!!!!! This is Randyesque! Thanks Randy.....Love it!!!! All are great.
An all time favorite writer and also love when performs them himself, Randy Newman❣️ Oh that's also my favorite score, of Ragtime.
I lurve LA. I lurve it!! Especially with short people who got no reason.
Postal problems? Send it by Pony Express. No problem for Pasadena's entrepreneur extraordinaire.
I saw that Jeff Lynne & Tom Petty were on this album somewhere.

Story and atmosphere is right! And incredible sense of humor. "Good Old Boys" is still one of my favorite albums - 47 (?) years after it was released.
Randy's mellow music is always so soothing....
And the Rap thing was really well done... get down with the get-down!
Excellent 👏🏻💐 Wow the rap was fun!
Randy Newman is my favorite writer. Little Criminals is incredible.
Love that Randy Newman..Nice pick today Lee..
Such a unique soulful voice
😎 Who knew Randy Newman could rap 😂 Love it!
and 1988
I come here solely to watch Leland bop to the tunes 😉.
Hey Leland! Love your videos and I am a proud subscriber. Have you ever played with Mike Post? I think Mike is genius and often overlooked.
I did all of Mikes TV shows starting with Rockford Files. Mike produced a band I was in in 1967. We go WAY BACK.
@@lelandsklar6363 Love it. “The Rockford Files” is one of the best theme songs ever done and I think Mike is the John Williams of TV scores. Would love to hear more about the record he produced for your band.

Good album..."Something Special" one of favorites! Very talented man!
That second one has a similar vibe as "You're Messing With the Wrong Guy" from the John Hughes film "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles".
I worked on Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Was a fun movie to work on.
@@lelandsklar6363 Probably my all time fave film. Long live John Candy. One of the funniest people ever. I should have known that you worked on that movie, Leland. That's great! Your videos are gold. Or should that be platinum? :-) Thanks for doing all that you do.

Randy Newman was big in The Netherlands in the 70/80s.

In Sweden we are at a 9 hours difference. We are a head i´ll think,... Your videos and you are real cool. Love you.
Although we are Facebook friends, I've just started to watch the videos. My friend (if I may be so bold) you bring a lot of hope along with the music...
When you said, "This one's called "Roll With the Punches" my immediate reaction was "Oh, g-d no!" Mr. Newman at his political satire best.
Masterman & Baby J reminds me of the song The Third Hand by David Hungate's kids in their band Telecommunicators.
Thank You Lee 👍🏻 saludos 🇲🇽
