leonard knight lives

A little footage i pulled from my hard drive the other day. I have hours of footage of Leonard, but this is all i've captured, so I thought i'd put it together in a quick vid for youtube.

I met Leonard when I worked for the Culpepper and Merriweather Great Combined Circus. When we played Niland back in 1996, a bunch of us went out and found his crazy mountain and visited with him all afternoon. He surprised us all with his sweet nature and his boundless energy and charming gentleness. He was a guest of honor at our circus that night.

I've visited him a dozen times since then, and his work just keeps evolving and getting more complex and sophisticated. But Leonard remains the same: A kind and caring fellow, who always makes time for visitors no matter how many there are or what he is doing.

Lots of people talk about god's love, but Leonard Knight LIVES it. He's a desert hobo gypsy tramp with a heart of gold.

Leonard's a not just a folk artist but a folk Hero!

GO LEONARD GO!
