Ha! Brilliant. Thanks for all this Swappers.
Goose bumps listening to that. All the live stuff I've heard and seen he seems such a great guy. Self deprecating and humorous. I think he had an injury/problem with one hand mid-career and had to alter his playing for a time. That clip is fairly recent and he seems full on.

Here's one that's about a legendary instrument... Can't find a live version though ha!ha!. A cautionary tale.
And a younger man..."Pamela Brown" (by Tom T. Hall) one of the saddest songs I know. Always brings a tear. Both these tracks are from "Ice Water"

Stupidly great as Leo is joined by the maestro Jerry Douglas
I think those are the very reasons I posted that clip and it some really to reflect him more somehow. So glad you dropped by with more stuff and I will check it out later and post suitable responses tomorrow now.
Thanks Sealyman! Much appreciated and I will get on this Friday now. Thanks as ever for your contributions and support my friend
