"My Favorite Things"

Leo Hahn (1927-2008), performs his version of "My Favorite Things" on his '66 Barney Kessel Gibson, in August of 2000, at age 73. During his life, Leo played in trios and groups in nightclubs and for hire in Ohio, all the while working in a manufacturing plant, i.e., factory. A mostly self-taught musician, never really learning to formally read music, Leo learned guitar from his uncle at age 6. As a young man, he was a Navy musician, playing to the troups during WWII, with a band of performers that included the later-to-become-famous dancer and choreographer, Bob Fosse.

An amazing player. He must have made one heck of a grandpa! I'm a guitar player working on Jazz planning to audition for the Naval Bands in a couple months. I just signed a 5 year enlistment!

I see that Leo has since passed on. How awesome that you have this video to remember him by and others can enjoy.
