Dear Leland, I’m following your channel since day 7 or so. Although we never met, I never met anyone of all your visitors and commenters I fell like being at home in this channel, feel like knowing you and this community since for ever. And this is because of your personality and how you “feed us” with your stories, music, playing, kindness, down-to-earthness, wisdom. Thank you so much for doing all this. Stay save and sane.

So our older son joined my wife and I in a Mother's Day Edition game of Scrabble. Late in the game, she was well in the lead. With only 3 letters left, she said "The only word I could make is 'coo', but I can't see where to put it". Our son beamed and placed his last letters on the board, spelling the word "coup", with a triple word score to boot. He got 30 points or something, and leapt out in front of my wife by a few points, *literally* pulling off a coup. It was cuckoo, or should I say coo-coup. Just one of those language coincidences that brings a smile.

Got to see The Immediate Family on the Rock Legends cruise in Feb. Terrifyingly good. Fun story: I was playing drums with another band on the cruise, and me and the guitar player went down to sign up for the Saturday night jam. We walk into the green room and to my left, sitting against the wall, I see Lee, Russ Kunkel, Kootch and Waddy. Ten seconds later Nancy Wilson walks in and they all migrate to the back of the room to go over the Tom Petty songs they were going to play. I smiled at my guitar player and said said "Dude, we got no shot." The organizer came up to us and confirmed that the jam night dance card was front-loaded with superstars, so we happily went back up to find our wives and continued enjoying ourselves. 5000 albums worth of talent in the room? That jam night will do just fine without us.

The first time I ever heard 'Desperado's under the Eaves', I was absolutely floored by it. ABSOLUTELY FLOORED. It's one of the greatest pieces of of music I've ever heard. Such an incredible, rich production that is just pure genius.

[@bmphil3400]

I had a guy invite me to sit in on a club gig he was doing....playing guitar. I was using his equipment for a set. I got off the stage and he said " Man that sounded good....what did you do?". I said..." I turned all your effects off cause I didn't know how to run them for leads and rythms......". Of course he was shocked. The old adage is really true.....most times...less is more.

Hey Leland, I'm 22 years old and I grew up on Warren. My father loves his music owned almost all his albums in every form. Such a one of a kind that we will never see the likes of again.

The Excitable Boy album came out when I was in University,. There are several really memorable songs on it, like L,G & M, Roland..., Excitable Boy. "Werewolves of London", became the raging song (university days, remember) and I recall howling it with buddies in alleyways outside clubs during a break, at pubs at the school, on streets going home at 2am. I was thrilled when Warren Zevon was befriended by David Letterman and would speak so honestly and thoughtfully on the show. Will never forget the night he mentioned to Dave that he was sick and it was terminal. I am only a fan, but it was gut-wrenching. Gone way too soon, agreed. Thanks again for the stories!

[@OspreyFlyer]

We're about the same age. Yep, I played a lot of Zevon on my turntable!

[@Shelsight]

Just as I thought I couldn’t love Leland more as a novice bass player... he makes me smile and feel better for being a woman too. I was told back in the early 80s aged 14 that I couldn’t learn bass at school as “it was for the boys”... So I didn’t learn and only picked it up about 30 Years later. God I wish I had ignored that teacher, or known about Carole Kaye, Tina Weymouth, Kim Deal, Gail Ann Dorsey and others back then. But anyway. Least I’ve started now and love it despite wondering ‘what if...’ So thanks Leland, for the shout out to moms/mums, women with no kids, and the bass players who find you as inspirational as our female bass idols.

[@Fretless99]

Glad you picked up the bass; welcome to the club! I've been playing since '78, and I can't imagine what my life would have been without music. I hope you get all the joy in the world from playing the bass, dear lady! Don't EVER let someone tell you can't do something, friends...

[@N0B0DY_SP3C14L]

Always speaking with even tempered wisdom. It's funny, you reminded me something that I believe Ray Brown said:" When you're starting out, you're on the quest for the ultimate set of strings in pursuit of The Tone, but eventually you just get a set of helicores, and then you learn how to actually PLAY the instrument." That said, a TC chorus is pretty awesome in the right context.

Man, I just love Warren Zevon!!! He was so cutting edge and sooo effen cool. It’s a real shame that he didn’t see as much success as some of his peers (ie Springsteen, Jackson Browne, The Eagles, etc.). God bless David Letterman who got him. David had Warren on his show over 18 times during the span of his career!

[@maticstudios]

Over 18 times as a guest and he filled in for Paul countless times. Licked By A Stranger will forever be a classic.

[@markmilner842]

One of my favourite Warren Zevon songs! He really should be in the HOF. Yes, I’d say you have enough material that you’ve played on. How many thousands of songs is it? You can be you. That’s what we’re here for. Great commentary on 4 vs 5 string. I like that there’s no rules. Let’s keep it that way.

[@KayZee1957]

Every time I hear you Lee naming all the great (LA) studio players names, I wish more people remembered and talked about Russ Kunkel. He was such a songwriters drummer and it saddens me that time is forgetting him. Maybe with all those other greats in the LA scene, Blaine, Keltner, Vega, et. al, Russ is just a little lost in the, ahem, shuffle.

“To everything there is a season…” kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4awY2R4ZtWYrsU The Dalai Lama teaches children it doesn't matter whether you believe in God or not. He will burn in the lowest layers of Hell for all eternity: messiahjesusbible.com His office has *rejected Buddha's existence* numerous times. They hate the fact that Jesus and Buddha are the same man. Dalai Lama's globalist business is in league with the Antichrist, Jesuit baby snatcher Pope Francis, leader of the New World Order & the Mafia, who says atheists can go to Heaven. That is not the way it works.

[@normjacques6853]

I've been playing for fifty-four years and finally had to pick up a 5-string about fifteen years ago. Learning how to use it *appropriately* was a bit of a 'journey.' You are, of course, absolutely correct: The song drives everything, and you can easily become a distraction rather than enhancing a song. Properly placed, though, the 5-string can be a powerful tool. .....and, asking Lee Sklar to play 'Rush' is like asking Pablo Picasso to draw a circuit schematic! It could be done, but...why?? (BTW, Lawyers, Guns and Money is one of my personal favorites of all time.....thanks for that, and all of your other very cool bass lines!)

[@charleshutton284]

Lol! Very well put regarding Rush. Geddy Lee has a unique style, and I'm sure both guys are a "mutual admiration society". New to channel. Wondering if Lee has mentioned anything about Geddy's book released last year.

[@kevintulak9987]

I remember reading an article years ago about the difference in guitars and the sound. They took a number of top engineers and played them guitar licks by different players with different guitars. None of the engineers were able to tell which guitar was which but they got all of the players right. For the most part I think a good player can make almost any instrument sound good.

Warren is just that level of songwriter that is up there in a manner that is indescribable. I grew up as a kid just knowing him from "Werewolves of London" and hearing that on the radio. When I got to college and started making friends there, I ran into friends who were avid music lovers....and that was when I was more thoroughly introduced his music. He just has a unique way of telling a story or speaking his mind....and he was right in there with Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, etc.

[@normandyhelmer279]

Sir, when I went off to college in '75 I had so many Warner Bros LPs (Warren, Bonnie, Jackson) & I learned to look for you & that A-Team on albums & live and I am so profoundly grateful for the music, then & always.

[@seanwoodburn2616]

From a sound guy...and for MOST sound guys: Thanks for bringing one bass. Regarding heart and hands I have a couple of supporting anecdotes...not that you need my support but they are fairly instructive. NAMM 2000 or so, still temporarily in L.A. I heard someone really nailing the phrasing in the intro to "Do You Feel Like I do". Turned to look...Peter sounding just like Peter but playing a high end Strat clone...Anderson maybe? It wasn't even black. About the same time Paul Roger's was touring. I got a call from a venue in Eureka CA. 600 capacity club. The Marshall JCM900 they borrowed from a fan blew up. I owned the local sound company and had a pretty comprehensive backline but no stacks or half stacks up there because the venues are too small. Howard Leese was the guitarist. Uncommon knowledge...Howard is a very skilled engineer. Anyway, he looked at my list of mostly high end boutique combo amps and chose a Fender Blues DeVille which is decidedly NOT a high end boutique combo amp and most certainly not a JCM 900. There came a point where Paul showcased the three guys...I think Tony Franklin was on Bass. Embarrassed to forget the drummer but he had toured with Alice Cooper. Anyway...when Howard played Barracuda it sounded remarkably like the guy on the album in spite of the cheap and tiny Fender. Thanks for your wisdom and thanks for showcasing a wonderful artist and songwriter. Sorry for the ramble. I am old now and fortunate to mostly dribble just words. Cheers!

Hello from a lifelong UK fan Lee, I just want to thank you for the massive enjoyment you've given me over the years through your amazing musicalit and personality. A particular favourite was your work on one of my all time favourite albums, Jackson Browne's "Running on empty", which in my humble opinion was the tightest rhythm section of all time (Your good self and Russ Kunkel) plus such a wonderfully memorable, talented band, will always stay with me. I hope and pray that you'll continue to enjoy playing for years to come, God bless you Lee, and thanks again for your legendary playing with so many of my favourite artists.

The beauty and genius of Leland Sklar comes across so wonderfully in both his verbal intro to this song and in the song itself. He is one of the few bass guitarists that really pricked up my ears as to how important the bass in music is. He creates the bass groove beautifully. Simple where it needs to be - but he has the chops to create those incredible fills (like a drummer) but melodically. I Love this guy.

[@cfreeman5631]

Ha, I have a collar...sounds like how the bass player is always treated..except Sting, I guess. Please just do your songs. I can go listen to Entwistle if I want to hear his parts.
