12 string fingerstyle guitar, with slide. Recorded at Hargate Hall, Buxton UK at RMMGA UK9. This tune is on my debut CD: "When Pigs Fly..."

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.

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.

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,
