You should never have to be anything or anyone BUT Leo, good sir. You are an original and a true master. Leo Nocentelli is a National Treasure.

A true master and a big part of what made New Orleans RNB so good including the wonderful Lee Dorsey

Great interview! Leo seems just like I would have expected - humble, smart, matter of fact, a musician as opposed to just a guitarist. Surprising that it's a 175 on all the Josie stuff! That his seminal influences were jazz guys? Not surprising at all, for the reasons given. I hope that's still true today.
