I saw LR at Queen's University in the late 70s. The 411 on him then was that Bob Dylan was a big fan and there was speculation he was in his 60s. So I guess that would make him almost 00 today. Hmmm. Great and unique ragtime/jazz/blues guitarist and singer.
first time I saw him was on SNL.He was playing the guitar and was accompanied by a guy on a tuba. Just him and a guy on a tuba! Blew me away. The man is one of a kind. His version of "love letters in the sand" is incredible. thanks Leon
Just found this fantastic musician amazing guitarist,i will be hunting down all Leon's albums.Who is playing the slide guitar or drobo wish Leon many more years playing. ......moscowvitch...Edinburgh Scotland
BLESS YOU, FOR YouTubing this VDO !!!! Thanks very much, Leon is " THE MAN " !!!! I'm hoping to find him playing on SNL in the late 70's, the song "Please Don't Talk About Me, When I'm Gone" . --Take care!

@Pangerx He tells outrageous lies about his origins, like being the son of Paganini (who died in 1840). He was born in 1949.
