1764. Paul Thorn

[@davekaiser208]

Leland Thanks for exposing Paul Thorn to folks. He is worthy of folks learning about him. And thanks for all you do, even those you forget about.

[@mikeanderson5924]

I dig Paul Thorn. I saw him perform in downtown Sacramento at the Crest Theater, a gorgeous restored Art Deco piece of architecture. (I hope you get to tour it for us one day.) Paul was in the lobby while I purchased a couple of his CDs. One was his new CD at the time which was Hammer and Nail, he came over and signed it for me - a very nice guy.

[@gregdiffenthal2384]

I discovered Paul on youtube a few years ago and love his music and humour. Love Scar may be my favourite song of his.

[@theopenroad9639]

Thanks for this! I grew up in Tupelo and met Paul when I was in 5th grade…. This would have been 1998’ish. He and my science teacher were friends and she brought him as a special guest on a couple of occasions. I still have a piece of notebook paper he signed. The Vanelli’s location referenced is no longer standing, but there is a smaller scale version/bistro in the downtown area these days.

[@hitchbass]

Oh wow! I love Paul Thorn and think 800 lb Jesus was the first song of his I ever heard. Thought it was so neat. Years later in the early 2000's, a band I was in that was on the same booking agency paired us up opening some shows for him, one at the Memphis theater. He was so freaking cool to hang with and loved his stories off the stage, but when he got up there I was just blown away. Huge fan ever since and love this album that I didn't know you played on! Listening to it again tonight!!!!

[@GaryPerkins-x7x]

Leland- you are a legend-thank you for sharing your musical talents with the world! Paul is a terrific performer and writer (as well as Billy Maddox) with a gifted voice and sense of humor! My brother Jeff Perkins has been Paul’s drummer for 20 some odd years. Paul assembled terrific musicians for his live shows. Always a great time! Keep playing my man and thanks for sharing.

[@debbiemcwilliams2789]

Jeff is fantastic and so personable at their shows.

[@Spike-w5o]

Been a Fan of Paul for years thx

[@ITSAJF]

Paul Thorn is great...good to see him live he is funny and tells some good stories

[@eddiethek]

Welcome back to the mint green room. I voted early today in the proverbial bellwether commonwealth of PA. I wrote you in again for State Treasurer. Thanks for #1764!

[@michellefuerst1039]

Thanks for sharing! Great music!❤🇨🇦✌️

[@whodder06]

Thanks for you visit and musical update! Sad about Quincy Jones. Such a HUGE loss! Hope all is well good sir!!

[@Gina-ly5bp]

Happy voting day! I worked at my polling place from 6 a.m. til 9 p.m. Thank you for posting. Perfect end to the long day!

[@artemisXsidecross]

Thank you Gina for your 15 hours of labor ☮

[@st.paullutheranchurchmille8122]

It must feel good to be home! Please, when you can, update us with the pups, I would love to see how big Romeo has gotten. Thanks for all the road videos again this summer, I loved seeing all the different venues and beautiful theaters.

[@stevestudeny8443]

Great tunes; great guy! I've seen Paul Thorn live several times over the last 10-15 years. Always a great show. He's also very interactive with fans afterwards. Stays around until the last fan gets a pic with him or an item of merch is signed. Thanks for sharing & if readers like this, check out his other albums...fun stuff! 😎

[@TyroneEpps]

This is excellent

[@tjsmith3741]

Heavy grooves… thanks for sharing😎

[@kstovall68]

Love Paul Thorn! That show Paul opened for Sting was the first secular concert he ever attended.

[@vintageplbr185]

Have loved Paul's music for many years. Great songwriter and storyteller.

[@williamdaly1005]

Sort of hiding from the world today but when I saw your post I had to check it out. Sure am glad I did, I really dig this!

[@splashesin8]

I think I remember hearing the double wide song around that time. 😊💕

[@luvbasses5487]

After I watched that clip from the other day, I dragged back and watched it AGAIN! I really enjoyed that band!

[@twrourke6557]

You're a legend! Never retire and Never quit. Rock and Roll Forever !!

[@terrye6853]

It’s a great Day, to listen to Paul Thorn

[@RalphOnofrio]

Thanks for posting all the great music...love this enjoy your home time.

[@doloresvelez3243]

That was fun. Thank you.💙💙💙🙏

[@JKwakulla]

Thanks. I mostly like your backstage videos. But, I loved the Molly and Golden Highway live show. I usually do not like from the crowd shot live music. Having seen Molly live, I say you did an excellent job. I need to back up and watch the Paul Thorn now. Enjoy your garden and pups while you can, before heading back on the road again.

[@marygiuranna6817]

Good Afternoon Lee. Really enjoyed the music today, thank you.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I've been a fan of Paul Thorn for many years. He has great songs. Sorry to hear about the passing of Quincy Jones. May he rest in peace. I wish Maureen all the best. Cheers, Leland! 🙏✌️

[@davewilliams639]

Genuine nice fellow. My son was in the band that opened for Paul in Florida last year.

[@showbiz5776]

Great "chance meeting" leading to great memories and good music to share! Dig'n it!

[@briangarrett6510]

Roberto Duran was the hammer on April 14th, 1988 and Paul Thorn was the nail at the Tropicana Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey

[@andyevans2336]

Yeah, but neither you nor I have the balls to step into the ring with Duran.

[@JeffMiletich]

Thanks for posting all those bands in Florida!

[@gervaisbilodeau8465]

Great singer, great music.

[@knotheadusc]

I love his music so much! He's also a great artist!

[@barbiemckofka8700]

I voted 💙💙💙💙 Great 🎶🎶🎶 music. Happy you get to go back and enjoy 🎶💙 So sorry I missed the clubhouse 😢 just out of sorts until this voting is over with.💙🗳️ Take care of Maureen and the boys🐾🐾 I'm going to start getting my planters ready for planting. Love this cool weather . Thank you for always being there 😊 💙💙💙💙

[@slipperynoodle20]

After Sunday's episode I thought, I'll have to check this guy out. You just took care of that. Now, I need to buy an album. I reckon you won't do that for me, too. Voted today, voted blue. I enjoy the ritual of election day voting and my polling place is less than 2 blocks away. Love and Thanks ❤👍❤👍

[@verlyndouglas]

Paul is great! I've seen him live and he does a great show! Nice of you to do this video

[@billihlingmusic]

Good morning, Lee. You, Lyle, and the Large Band were fabulous at the Cowboy Moon fest this past weekend. Thanks to Time & Space for aligning long enough to allow this old weekend warrior bar band bassist the honor of meeting one of his long-time musical heroes.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

I cast my vote seven days ago. The ballot I filled out was definitely a reflection on my conscience, my heart, my soul and my hopes.

[@senorbe]

Thanks very much for all the cool clips

[@carolmoline6490]

That was cool. Fun songs

[@jacquelinecase1298]

Voted and thank you for broadening my musical horizons. Amazing.

[@donheflin8890]

This was an awesome review of a great artist from a great artist. Thanks Leland 😎

[@michaelvaladez6570]

Funny that Paul Zorn came up to you to remind you about playing with him but then again you have such a big list of recordings.Love these tracks..i agree with you opinion very concise songwriting !!! Stay safe 🙏 Leland Sklar ✌️ 🙏 ✌️ 🙏 ☮️ be safe 🙏!!!!

[@9Ridgeroad]

Lee, I really enjoyed The Mavericks set you recorded. Great energy! I wanted to play along.

[@ronhatcher7734]

love Paul Thorn.

[@geminidreamno2]

That was a really nice listen. And I loved the guitar work.

[@lavatar3562]

Paul Thorn is certainly worth a second listen. In Australia we will work with whoever wins the election but as a Free Trading Nation we would prefer not to negotiate with Trump over tariffs, however I believe common sense will prevail and Kamala Harris will make a great First Female President!

[@sjengineeringservices8282]

Good evening Leland All the best from Wrexham!!

[@kristoffer-helle]

I did this! Sounds like a mix of Mark Collie and The Goo Goo Dolls a little bit.

[@johncopeland3826]

Its nice to see you looking less tired and exhausted Mr Sklar ,as i thought you did last week after the last " big Band " show , with all of the tiresome touring and stress that goes with it ...stay well .

[@Joesfosterdogs]

Well produced LP...drums are up and front in the mix which makes the pocket groove hard.

[@carolmoline6490]

Voted early.

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

We hope everybody is holding up ok.

[@barrywaples8150]

I was typing. Think I will listen to Tony Joe White. Then this happens.🤣🎸

[@stephenspencer4672]

Yes Lee we all need to vote , because we're Americans. 😊 Hope you had a good time in Florida.

[@hanspeterlillese2225]

Hey Leland, he really dug you! Interview with Paul Thorn, ten years ago almost to the day: Question: Who would you like in your rock ‘n’ roll heaven band? Paul Thorne: The band I have, they’re as good as anyone in the world. Aside from them, Malcolm Young from AC/DC on rhythm guitar, and on lead guitar, probably Jeff Beck. Leland Sklar on bass. John Bonham on drums, and on keyboard, probably Liberace-he was very versatile; he could do anything. Backup singers: the McCrary Sisters; they’re already on my album, but you can’t beat them. - Elmore Magazine

[@KittyCarlile-490]

You even knew the late, great Nicky Hopkins!

[@chucklandry5588]

Awesome ‼️

[@zemezee8883]

thank you !!! leland

Jim!

[@hanspeterlillese2225]

Looks like another dream is over. 💔

[@KittyCarlile-490]

Yep sad

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

Do you know of any good sources for Winston Churchill's speeches in WWII? I think I would like to improve my knowledge of the subject.

[@artemisXsidecross]

We may be at a precipice that will change the way many Americans will go about how they will live. In eight years a dark side of nationalism mixed with christian nationalism has coalesced while what was the Democratic Party under Franklin D. Roosevelt and his work to correct capitalism from its greed has now been erased. In its place we are now guided by oligarchies and their way to see and shape the world. “You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.” Rene Daumal

[@hanspeterlillese2225]

​@@SoundsFair--M-and-J After Gallipoli, no one really wanted to listen to him. The famous speech came much later.

[@hanspeterlillese2225]

​@@artemisXsidecross My reply to you got cancelled.

[@kennonmoen4424]

Great bass on great tunes! Glad you reconnected Paul and dug up the album. Any chance Lyle will let you dig out the RESIST bass?

[@FredPriest-ud6cu]

Lee your trouble is basically WHO DIDN'T YOU PLAY WITH ?

[@stevenolsen3162]

Nice work Lee. I've been a PT fan since this record came out and somehow it slipped by me that you played on it.

[@michaelmckenna9022]

I wads wondering if you could play East Bay by Billy Cobham. That's my favorite song by him. I'm 20 years younger than you and wish I had your energy. I have been practicing very lightly lately because I am waiting for surgery on both arms. I have radial tunnel, very painful. We met at Summerfest in 2023.

[@Bobstern]

I am detecting a little Ronnie Van Zandt in his voice.

[@msdixiepearl]

If you ever have a chance to see Paul live, take it! It’s a religious experience of its own kind, depicted in the link below…. Rock on, Brother Thorn! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGjKYmeHl72oaJosi=chJhsxFuda4aE7Sv

[@tobisimmons9889]

Very much like John Cougar Mellencamp

[@artemisXsidecross]

He reminds me of Chris Knight an excellent song writer-singer and signed to John Prine’s Oh Boy Records. John Prine’s last recording was on Chris Knight’s last album. Paul Thorn is worth a good listen; I have many of his recordings.

[@KittyCarlile-490]

​@@artemisXsidecross hello 😊

[@larryshouse4827]

Heard Paul say the actual statue is in the dad’s yard….

[@WethePeopleParty]

I voted early

[@stevemurray2737]

Paul Thorn is a National Treasure. Great Songs, Great Stories. Perfect shows. Nice nod to a great talent. Thanks Leland! Paul also Boxed with Roberto Duran!… kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2OrXmqEfqhlp6s

🤔🤔 "Hammer and Nail" on election day 2024. Hmmm.... Really enjoyed the tune! Not so much the hammer and nail experience....

[@chrisjelen9625]

Frankenstein?

[@lelandsklar6363]

Yes

[@CrazyHomelessWeirdo]

Since when does Gandalf live in Pasadena and play the bass

[@oldarchillies163]

For many years now. Cool isn't it?

[@Spike-w5o]

Try Mike Ferros

[@rickpuigmusic]

Hey are you coming to London with Lyle in January?

[@lelandsklar6363]

Still sorting out the budget to see if he can bring any players.

[@tobisimmons9889]

Great story
