I have watched this video about 50 times over the last three years when I first discovered it. I just checked and can't believe I have not left a comment yet.
This is brilliant. If I would have found that song on a Kottke cd I would have thought that is one of Leo's best compositions. Up there with Snorkel, Ojo and Vaseline Machine Gun.
Many thanks for the comments & glad to liked it. Have added some more vids from this year's UK-10 gathering under "my favorites" at my Youtube site. Couple of new tunes ("U-Turn Laverne", a cover of Embryonic Journey, etc) that someone else shot if you're interested. Thanks,
Damn Uncle Joe! It's been too long- Crazy skills on that instrument of yours. I'm trying to pick it up myself and now I see how far I have to go.... far
Yes indeed, very nice. Thanks you for posting this. May I suggest viewers/fans of slide guitar check out the Bob Brozman vids posted here at youtube too. He really knows how to make the slide guitar sing. Thanks again, Jim
I should've posted this a long time ago, but I just got around to it today. Great slide work, killer rhythm, excellent all around! Keep it up, and post more videos if you can. I really enjoyed this one.
Sorry for the late reply SlightReturn....been busy. Mucho thanks for the comments & glad you liked it. I've got some other vids, but I'm having format problems in posting (hi-tech I'm not!).

Joe:
Funky Monkey is a 'CLASSIC'.
It's a perfect example of what you can do
with a slide if you've exposed yourself to
Leo's masterful slide work,
assimilated it, and gotten YOUR OWN
creative juices going.
! ! ! SPLENDID ! ! !
Many Thanks.

This is extremely good ! I love your way of playing the 12-string. You have a fantastic touch and rythmic feel.
