49. Judith Owen / Arienne

[@andrewkane463]

Hi Lee, I had the pleasure of engineering a radio session for RTE Ireland with Judith, Russ, Waddy and you (of course) on one of Judith's tours. I was very nervous but in reality, it was the easiest day at work I've ever had. The talent in the room that day was incredible. I am a bass enthusiast and to engineer a session with the great Leland Sklar will always stay with me. You were playing your signature Warwick and there was no Eq, compression or anything applied. The magic was in the room. Please keep doing these videos! Peace

[@MuscleDad420]

Great story. Thank you for sharing!

[@funkyneil2000]

I am a live sound engineer and it certainly makes your live easier when you have good musicians who know their instruments and who have good tone.

[@RollSoundCameraAction]

Andrew Kane I was also at that show, actually attended the night before too. I recorded it on my Zoom handheld recorder. Two night's of pure magic. Would love to get my hands on the RTE recording. Do you know if it exists somewhere online?

[@andrewkane463]

@@RollSoundCameraAction This was a session in the RTE studios, not sure of rights etc!

[@sunryse111]

I love your stories, Leland - and you have a way of telling them ....

[@kwacker45]

Its definitely the way he tells them

[@clintduncan6175]

The beauty of your music is the ease and elegance. It makes us mortals think, "I could do that." Which of course, we can't. Not only would we have to be able to play that effortlessly, but it is the fact that you WRITE THIS MATERIAL! Amazing.

[@DimebagDarrenLowe]

Hi Le, thanks for this, compared to you, i'm just a guy who owns a bass, thanks for these visits with you. All the best.

[@chowchichang2922]

Phenomenal bass playing ... so melodic ! Thank you for the Company ...

[@anthonycook4297]

Really nice,Lee. Got to see you and Judith at Cafe Hotel . Nice vibe for sure . Judith is a very good singer /songwriter 🙌🏽

[@davidmarais1048]

Like butter in this man's hands. God, Mr Sklar you are phenomenal.

[@uncledavesbadbass]

First takes are always the best! And then we rethink it....Look at this as your own personal autobiography. You are the author and editor. We get the raw and uncut Lee who is just right. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, talents and stories.

[@manuelgtz6859]

Mr. Sklar! Thank you for your dedication and your patience to be sharing with us this part of your life! Thanks! GRACIAS TOTALES!

[@jamescarr9688]

I have been watching you at 7.30 am Loch Lomond Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 time. Thanks again for being interesting.

[@dougwalter1705]

Just spent a good portion of the evening discovering Judith Owens,absolutely time well spent.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

yes it's interesting Mrs Harry shearer for over 20 years.. immensely talented and very funny

[@goodun2974]

Doug Walter, Judith Owen played on three albums with Richard Thompson; you can see her performing with Richard on KZbin in the concert film "1000 Years of Popular Music".

[@thecollective1584]

I'm loving the harmonics..... Another great show

[@robosborne5527]

Love the stories and the music. Thanks for sharing...from one bass player to another.

[@johnriccomi388]

Thank you! When your KZbin visits began, I was fortunate to find, and thoroughly enjoy clips of Judith Owen and you. 👍 Your visits here may the one time during the day that I stop everything else I am doing, and I just enjoy. Thank you! (My snare drum collection buzzes along to your playing, and I feel like I'm at a gig. 😌)

[@johnpiotrowski3108]

KZbin sure knows how to ruin a pleasant thing, interrupting Lee 's AWESOME playing of this song with stupid commercials for a flashlight ,a bicycle and socks. Those harmonics were really neat, love to hear unique things like that, and the rest was great as usual.

[@andylyons553]

Good god, this bass really sings... what a great song. What mastery. Lee you always amaze me!

[@paulhocking1252]

Leland, its great hearing you talk about the tracks prior to playing it. It just brings the whole story to life. Also I am getting fed up with listening to the same old music and you have opened up my eyes to some great artists.... stay safe and thank you

[@zhpub]

Mister Sklar! That was mind blowing. I love the way you play. Thank you for the beautiful places you are taking us to with your vids. Merci!

[@tomdiepenbrock6720]

Thanks for introducing me to yet another awesome artist. Love the videos. I’ll second the comment that the when the ads interrupt in the middle of the video it really kills the moment. Wish that could go away. Beautiful tune and love these videos, I look forward to a new one each day.

[@SalvatorePerla]

I love this piece, your playing, and this series you're doing. It soothes my soul. Peace. . .

[@violao206]

Haha, Leland, I believe you meant (Dimitrou's) Jazz Alley in Seattle. There is no Blues Alley here. I did not know you and Judith came back to Seattle. I had the dumb luck of briefly meeting you sharing a cigarette outside of the Neptune in Seattle where we both caught the Victor Wooten concert. It was so lovely how Victor announced to the audience we have a special guest in the audience tonight. Total props! My pal bought a CD from Victor and I got to meet him, but then hanging out in the front, I got to meet you which was rather fortuitous. You invited me and my twin brother to your following night's performance at the Triple Door which we gladly caught. We were rather intrigued about her also being Welsh artist because our mum is from Cardiff, Wales. In any event, it was great to chat with you. We enjoyed the duo show with Judith, and it goes without saying, I am such a fan of all your work over the years. Cheers, mate!

[@tommyian4984]

I bet HP's as pleased as punch listening to one of his creations sounding so good !

[@fredmcloughlin9893]

Thanks for the videos, I really enjoy them. You're making this world a better place. Light, Love and Peace to you all 💚💙💜

[@Guitargate]

Tim is the greatest. So are you.

[@bassje01]

Well, the first in video ad on this channel just took place with me! Thanks for your playing and your stories Lee, much appreciated. I have a few albums of Judith, they are great!

[@pkav8tor]

What a great sound! More of these, please. Thanks for sharing that Lee. regards

[@SidRainey]

This has gotta' be one of my fav videos, so far! Loving the harmonics!! Beautiful bass playing, beautiful song!

[@randyelviss4801]

What a strange coincidence that I know your cousin very well. She was living here in the Comox Valley but think has moved down Vancouver Island. Her name "Gail Sklar". Loving all your songs and remembrances from on the road. Stay well and keep smiling. Randy

[@alwaysbgrinding1375]

In terms of just the sonics.. on this latest one... Your bass has an incredible sound WHOAHHHH! I hope people are playing this through a decent system or at least some good Bluetooth speaker or headphone arrangement. I love hearing the breadth of your artistry, styles and of course your great stories .😊 thanks again Lee

[@robertashton8069]

I listened to it on my phone with $7 earbuds and it was still awesome!

[@brentonpaterson7047]

Just switched to good quality headphones and that is sooo much better. Highly recommended.

Judith is an incredible talent. Her interpretations of songs are amazing. I really enjoyed the videos of her dancing that you posted when you guys were touring. Funny stuff.

[@joachimheinemann6936]

Thanks for having drawn my/our attention to this extraordinary artist! Best regards!

[@jeffreylonnon781]

I’ve never heard this before but loved it. Super sweet bass line and all those harmonics were amazing. Thank you for playing this.

[@davidlayton6137]

I love that song ❤️ Such a sweet sound in that groove. Thank you.

[@josephtravers2002]

Those harmonics. You make it look easy as pie Lee. Judith has a new fan. Keep posting x

[@davidmarais1048]

Damn....those harmonics give me chills.

[@sansocie]

Many thanks to Tim. Love his KZbin channel. You make my day. Your musical feel is priceless. This channel is priceless.

[@jackharriet4814]

Thanks again Lee. We can see the professional that you are in the way you can run through a new song every day - songs you probably haven't done for years - with brilliant, fluent playing, barely a single fluffed note... then - with no edits or cuts - you go straight into chatting and telling stories. We're watching one of the greatest ever session bass players here, who also happens to be a thoughtful, lovely guy.

[@revddf]

I didn't think I'd heard of Judith Owen until my friend (and yours) Bryn Haworth posted a photo on Facebook of him with you having seen you playing in her band in London. Then I realised I had heard her before - singing with Richard Thompson on his 1000 Years Of Popular Music project. She is class, and I enjoy hearing your melodic bass parts on her songs.

[@bassmandan408]

Thanks so much for your stories, your playing and trying to keep use all safe. Love and peace, keep safe brother.

[@kennonmoen4424]

Ace Hardware? Yikes! Watch your fingers! I’ve been catching some of your Acapella sessions with Judith and Pedro-so much fun! Thanks for today! Stay home...stay safe...save lives!

[@CWReace]

Awesome...in no time I felt as much in the groove as you appeared to be in that song.

[@TheChrist117]

Hi Lee - Thanks for turning me on to Judith Owen, Ariene has a spellbinding, ethereal quality about; love the harmonics. Kind regards, Chris.

[@desmondweston490]

Nice harmonics concept! Subscribed when Rick Beato mentioned you had a channel! Thanks for your contribution to the years of music I've been unknowingly hearing you on bass until the lights of awareness came on.

[@randysnell9218]

Thank you so much for sharing the stories and bass playing. Bass is my affliction, as well.

[@la196]

Oh my goodness! Thank you Lee! This is one of my favorites. I'm so happy you covered your bass isolated from the group and looking forward to doing my best learning it! Love the bass line and love the harmonics, love the entire group of you all playing it:) So beautiful. Thanks so much!

[@CarlMartenMusic]

Very mellow, that bass sounds so cool! I love this! Thanks for another great video Lee!

[@analdomooriski7710]

x good morning sir, just checking in to enjoy another story and to be entertained by your super chops bass playing . peace brother x

[@dmlevitt]

great song and stunning bass line. I can't wait to hear more of Judith Owen. thank you again lee. much love.

[@cleberalves7256]

Hi Leland, I´m a brazillian bassist, long time fan, I´ve just found these videos and .. I feel enlighted! people already said it all, YOU MAKE THAT LOOK EASY! And it´s anything but that...love

[@advanoyen]

Love Judith. Love the acapella stuff you do with the three of you.

[@futsaldino]

Good morning Leland! 🔥Thanks as always, enjoy your day!

[@joncote6035]

Story and song time with Uncle Lee every night after dinner for us East Coasters... thank you so much!!!

[@iantrott9152]

That is a beautiful bass line, a fantastic use of harmonics. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe :)

[@kwacker45]

I think it would be funny to see the interrupted footage. This is just like being at your home. We dont expect perfection just great stories amazing playing whilst chilling with you. No drama either way. Be safe your now officially a National Treasure here in Edinburgh Scotland. In my opinion you are the force of nature along with my hero Jack Bruce who I basically grew up with. My friends sister put Cream up one weekend, I happened to pop in to say hello. All I can remember is being absolutely terrified of Ginger Baker, seriously mad as a hatter. Be safe my friend be well

[@Raststaette]

I met you with Judith Owen at Erftstadt/Germany... enjoying your show...years ago already.

[@Emperorjones]

Lee, You and Tim should consider a virtual jam. It would be a lot of fun, no doubt.

[@goodun2974]

Judith Owen performed on several Richard Thompson records, including "1000 years of Popular Music"; theres a "1000 Years..." concert video of them on You Tube, as well as a "Black Cab" session, singing and playing from the back of a moving taxi.

[@6410daniel]

love that bass sound . i can hear the acoustic coming thru , thanks for playing it up close.. Dan

[@peteandurnot]

Loved seeing you perform this song with Judith Owens in a jazz club in Dublin a few years ago. We met afterwards for the second time.

[@CARDINAL701]

Wonderful, soulful playing...by one of the masters of the bass. His 'feel' is incredible. Been a fan for 40 years...and I bet I'm the ONLY pedal steel guitarist that subscribes to his channel!! Ha!!

[@jagmasters7392]

That’s a sweet groove song. Ethereal & mystical. The dude on the chair freaks me out. The dude on bass chills me out.

[@rust2nite]

Wow! Beautiful song! Incredible bass!

[@scotabot7826]

Not that familiar with Judith, but I'm really digging this song, and the really cool bass line. Really carries the song along nicely Le land. Thanks, again for these wonderful daily performances. Super happy to hear that you will be continuing these even when you go back on the road. Wonderful news!!!!!!!!

[@JaegerDives]

Lee, you are making these days so much better. I look forward to your stories and music every day. Thank you! My mom took me to a JT concert when I was young and I was mesmerized by the bass player near the corner of the stage where we were. After that, I followed you through album credits, music magazines, etc. What a legacy you have. Thanks again for the effort you put into these videos! Blessings to you! Great song BTW.

[@benwittman3431]

Such a beautiful bass part. Perfectly serves the song but also totally masterful. The harmonics feel an organic part of the pattern, not an extra thing to impress.

[@noelbowerman1562]

I finish work and look forward to my daily fix of Leland , thoroughly enjoyable.

[@Toracube]

Thanks for these ear opening lessons, LS. Learning much.

[@nicktucker4916]

The bass tone was gorgeous. Somehow an upright bass came to mind... I will have to check out Judith's music - Thanks!!

[@kongandbasses8732]

Oh wow, this was great, hearing the use of mostly harmonics in this context. The Warwick gets them out loud and well pronounced, compared to the fretted notes. This bass is a beast, and the player is a monster.

[@joezanti5961]

That's a beautiful Warwick bass I love the look must be wonderful to play wish I could afford one

[@marunikusbakufu]

I love this! So smooth. Modern "Yacht Rock"! 😃

[@dckmusic]

Loved Harry Shearer in Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind and all the other mockumentaries he's done with Christopher Guest and the group.

[@bretkindell6887]

I listened to Birmingham today that you played yesterday. Your videos are spectacular lee and we love u brother. Your a true CLASS ACT

[@sammyhundley]

Thanks for being so candid in these vid’s. I know it’s tough when there are trolls about. You are the man, and I feel like I know you through these stories. I like my illusions! Haha.

[@28farmall]

You are a big stress reliever! Thank you! Loving it!

[@77stimpy]

Yeah. Saw you with Judith here in Mainz / Germany...what a great, and funny show! ...and ih hat the chance to talk to you after the Show!

[@ronjon5386]

Your friend has on what we call down south a go to hell hat on . If you don’t like it you can go to hell. Or the famous F OFF. Great tune. Can’t wait to here some spectrum. I watched you live at BB Kings in NY with billy and a killer guitar player and keyboard player. I think the guy on keys was a really good drummer as well. My brother has all the guitar players stuff. I can’t remember his name. Who would have thought an old Georgia Boy in NY for the first time stumbling into that. It was amazing being a drummer for the past 40 years. That’s when I really started following your work.

[@KCYT2010]

Yet another amazing artist you've introduced here. What a great sound and feeling. Thank you so much !

[@fernand063]

Brilliant Track! Thanks for sharing Leland! Greetings from the Netherlands

[@ICBrian]

Love to watch Leland's videos every night at bedtime. Oddly relaxing.

[@robchristopher5996]

Thank you for encouraging people to wear masks. We have so many friends who are going through really serious health concerns. Compared to what they are enduring with their chemo and radiation treatments, wearing a mask is such a simple thing to do.

[@Steady47]

Incredible tone and harmonics on the Warwick. Love your finesse. Thank you. Peace.

[@brettmarlar4154]

Harry Scherer is a fantastic bass player as well. All three of the Spinal Tap /Folksmen (A Mighty Wnd) are amazing musicians/songwriters. Another great video/performance. Just wish KZbin didn't throw a million ads right into the meat of the story/song! But oh well. You're getting a lot of views and that just comes with the territory.

[@timclissold8585]

Another good story ,🤘🤘🥁🥁

[@gustavoviveros8394]

Thanks Lee! Saludos desde México 🇲🇽

[@carmonwilcox6955]

Coolest grove ever!!!!...thanks Leland!

[@Aint1S]

That insight into the creative process was great and sounds about like what happens when I'm playing. If I start to beat a song down with repetition for something like perfection, I just muddy the waters and over-complicate matters. I really like the song, it's cool. That repetition, I can feel my own nerves climb over the course of your part. It's interesting to know someone can play something on command and in time; however, get them to repeat that part 20 times in succession and prepare to see a calm look quickly turn into a frantic panic over the course. You are good!

[@LasseHuhtala]

That version of Black Hole Sun blew me away. Didn't know you could feel so many feelings at once.

[@juergensguitarlounge]

Great session. I truly enjoy every episode.

[@knotheadusc]

I live in Germany. Next time I go to Berlin, I'll check out the Radisson Blu!

[@roelkuiper9919]

That is such a melodic and beautiful bass part. Reminds me of Jaco with Joni on the Hejira record. Lovin your videos, man. Thanks!

Love this tune Lee, beautifully played. That Warwick just resonates so lovely. Very fine instrument:) Thanks for sharing.

Always good videos, good stories, good tunes that you play and, considering the home setting, great bass sounds. I know that you have played quite a lot of dpuble bass, why don't you delight us one of these days with a tune with that ?... thanks again for the good daily feelings you transmit.... ciao !.. from Milan, Italy..

[@iseeolly9959]
