You got to dig his grampa slippers. :) Leo kottke is one of the few guitarists I do not get tired of. He is sophisticated but not pretentious, accomplished and creative but not contrived and overly "artistic." He is meat and potatoes good enough for a king.

Many many years ago when Leo Kottke's first songs came out, I remember listening, with a new friend. I rember being surprised when he announced that this was the voice of God. Once in a while I hear it too.

@LanceHelmut It's on 'Greenhouse"...Well worth a listen, as is the entire recording..."Owls" may be the best folk guitar instrumental ever recorded...

What we have here is the finest virtuoso of the twelve string guitar that ever was (period).

They broke the mold in Leo for sure! Lol

I think the foliage behind Leo is the woods of Minnetonka, a suburb of Minneapolis on Minnetonka Lake where he lived when I lived in Mpls. I saw him once driving a convertible sports car in Uptown and he was smiling at the sky. That was many moons ago in the 80s. In the 70s most of us boomers thought he was the best guitar player in the world, until Tommy Immanuel came along. I'll always love Kottke's music and goes way back, for me. Bob
