Leon Redbone - I Aint Got Nobody (extended intro)

[Sexiam4it]

Leon created his own niche.,.true Genius.. not much competition

[WolfeBear]

I gotta ask: what kind of guitars did he play? this one diff from the one he used in SNL shows.

[WolfeBear]

@WolfeBear how did he have that cool 20's-30's sound???

[mindgamesguy]

@WolfeBear It looks like a sunburst Gibson CF-100, which he's known to play. He played what looks like the same guitar on Ditty Wah Ditty on The Tonight Show some time earlier. The guitar he's playing on Ain't Misbehavin' on SNL looks like a Martin, probably an 00 of some sort. He's holding a different smaller Martin, a 1-21 on the cover of Up a Lazy River, but I've never seen a shot of him playing this in concert. He's used a similar Gibson F-100E (with knobs) and another Gibson w/o a cutout.

[pedigreegudgeon]

Can anyone help pls?

About 3 or so years ago their was a clip on you tube of a much younger 'his truly' playing 3 songs in a row, the last of which was 'i ain't got nobody' ....what a performance too!

Then one day the clip vanished - gone. I keep checkin-in to see if it's been re-posted, but nay.

Could someone pls offer an explaination as to why it would've been scrubbed from you tube and as to how i might somehow track the footage down.

Gert thanks!

[cozmicfarside]

@pedigreegudgeon I can't help with that footage but if you google realplayer the first option on the list should have their registered trademark. If you download that, you can start saving video's to your desktop or a hard disk. There's plenty of downloads like it but not all are safe :)

Leon, Leon, Leon, my old neighbor from New Hope! You're still the greatest!!!!
