[@thepaulleslie]

@@JohnBarnett-u8j So glad you like Bruce Hornsby!

[@TrumanGN]

First interview with him that I have ever seen. I knew he would be honest and straight forward. Wonderful person and musician.

[@caroktmmins3899]

Bruce Hornsby is a very down-to-earth humble is a man of many hats but the sin in the same time he's a real good man he is like a genius what a wonderful man and I'll never forget the time I met him at Needham Mass and he gave me his autograph

[@lizklein3058]

Bruce rocks! He is such a calm, carefree, interesting person. A true southern gentleman.

[@jshepard152]

Really missed seeing Bruce in 2020. Won't miss him in 2021.

[@robertraposa6520]

My very first concert ever, September 1988, Great Woods, Mansfield, MA. 30+ years and hundreds of concerts later, still my favorite show. Most incredible piano player I’ve ever seen. I miss the Range, for sure….and would be the first in line for a reunion.

[@robertlyle3806]

Bruce, we spoke one morning at Dulles Airport where I approached and thanked you for inspiring me to buy an acoustic piano and the long road to become a competent player. I remarked that the journey had proved to be more arduous than expected but it allowed me to discover MIDI and I'm now a world class piano player ... a measure at a time ... the wonders of loop recording. Thank you...For your humanity, humility and your body of work. In particular the cuts for Shawn Colvin, Sara Evans, Bonnie. So glad they didn't hire "anybody". So glad they hired you.

[@jamesibz]

Such a nice humble guy. Nice interview

[@thepaulleslie]

I'm glad you watched it, thank you!

[@fenderstratADHD]

He looks really young for 63 years old if this was recent. I absolutely LOVE his music. ❤️🎧🎹

[@MeisterEck]

yeaa, music keeps people so young in their heads. my first piano teacher was almost 80 but still playing fresh jazz on piano :D

[@abirdynumnum9612]

Bruce mentions 'Halcyon Days' being made "ten years ago now..." (marker 9:38-40) was released in 2004. Perhaps this interview was shot in 2014? (although posted Mar 3, 2018). So at the time Bruce would have been 60 (Born Nov 23, 1954). A gracious man indeed, especially since he has a concert with Ricky Skaggs--and the runner being 45 mins behind, and a new banjo player. That's a lot of pressure. Bruce is the consummate professional.

[@themarkman8822]

I love his music too... too bad HE doesn't love his music...

[@fenderstratADHD]

@@themarkman8822what do you mean??

[@georgebarry8640]

Wow. What a great interview. So worth the 33 minutes. He is all that I'd hoped for and more...but I wouldnt have known were it not for your insightful questions. You REALLY brought out the character of the man. I am VERY grateful. Thank you. Subscribed.

[@thepaulleslie]

Thanks for watching the interview and much obliged for subscribing. I hope to have more interviews you enjoy!

[@arlenroth8373]

Great fellow, incredible artist...I'd love to play with him one day!!!

[@davidheslet7932]

Thank you, Paul for sharing this great conversation with one of my favorites. It was most enjoyable!

[@thepaulleslie]

I am honored you watched! Thank you David!

[@KRISSPCRITTER]

Fantastic interview! Bruce is unbelievable!

[@dalim9415]

Paul Leslie that was wonderful!

[@BonMache123]

Lovely human being and musician.

[@Mandoslicer]

I’m proud to say that I have never been late picking you up Bruce. Conversations with you are forever etched.

[@jesselp50]

Such a talented musician

[@thepaulleslie]

That's right!

[@thetempleunfinished]

The master pianist. Keep rock'n, Bruce!

[@matthewmacdonaldchannel1]

This is fantastic. Thirty-four minutes of audio joy, brother. Thank you.

[@thepaulleslie]

I am so grateful you watched/listened!

[@wvben]

Just saw Bruce play in Gettysburg with the Noisemakers. Still got it! Yeah, his music gets different, but I understand not wanting to get stagnant. I like a lot of the new style.

[@dessiemartz2477]

Wow! I didn't know he was around my age! I will be 62 in July 2022

[@eamonnmorris5331]

Oh my, what a pleasure! I am on a Bruce Hornsby kick these days, and not for the first time. I was particularly struck by his nascent remarks about Elton. I say 'nascent' because it seems like there was more he perhaps wanted to say, but the 'flow' of the interview did not allow it. Still, I thought I detected a very slight lump in his throat when he discussed the great master, whom I have long understood as one of his inspirations, just as he - EJ - has always also been one of mine.

[@JuggyGales1977]

Wow. His mom still lives in the house they grew up in 50-60 years ago? That's wild.

[@Deadbuck73]

JuggyGales1977 I had the great blessing of meeting his mom and Bruce many years ago. Simply wonderful people. It is a fond memory I’ll cherish forever!

[@pummerpummer2988]

Great interview. I could listen to his stories forever.

[@divinerdetective44]

Bruce has a beautiful mind!

[@planahath]

Great interview. Bruce has a really good memory for years when events happened!

[@bsbikes2115]

You, sir, just got yourself another subscriber. Just fantastic. Thank you.

[@thepaulleslie]

Thank you!!! :). I hope to get Bruce on again someday.

[@jasonburge8788]

Fantastic interview Paul, as always! What a great sit-down, essential for Bruce fans.

[@helenrodriguez8892]

To Jason: yes i feel the same way, when it comes to his fans' he doesn't hold back! LOVE that about him. That's why i will always be a FAN!!!😛🎆

[@deraiz760]

Is greats song... very gracias.

[@chrisdee2305]

Excellent interview Paul, thanks for the Q and A with him. Delighted with this...

[@CHWBAKA450]

My first Bruce concert was 1986. Im one of those people he was describing near the end of the interview. I feel like I’ve missed the best part. It’s been over 2 years since we lost Lyle Mays, Pat Metheny’s longtime collaborator. I wonder, if the stars aligned just right…. Bruce & Pat could take another run at the “Group” environment. Just planting seeds…

[@thepaulleslie]

You'd love the show! He and his band do an incredible show. ENJOY!

[@Mandoslicer]

Great job Paul.

[@walterlewis7787]

Bruce you are not out of big hits yet. My favorite song when I was flying form here to there fishing on sword fish boats not sport fishing. It was 30 40 day trips at sea. I almost lost my life and after everything was said and done. You where still my favorite I knew for sure when I put my headphones on it was you I wanted to listen to. I have a song for you. ...

[@nunfyrbzness1937]

as a saloon singer, doubtless I'm yet another in a long succession of women desperately in love with this extraordinary pianist... ;)

[@withaloudnoise7872]

Was curious on the date this interview happened, so thought I would post that Paul Leslie's website states it occurred on February 4, 2014

[@brandonmusko9352]

Love Rainbow’s Cadillac!

[@snakehead3650]

Bruce, I hope somehow you will get this comment, I would love to see you on tour with Pat Metheny. My wife and I met Pat Metheny in person at the Alley Stevens center in Birmingham Alabama back in 2002 or 3. He's a great musician and so are you. Two of my favorite Pat Metheny songs are follow me and San Lorenzo

[@kevinschrum4931]

In my mind; you beat the hell out of what U2 could have and have done!!!!

[@laurawilkins-messer1649]

I love his music. Please come to Cleveland, Ohio

[@alexsalinas32381]

Super talented flow.

[@michelleharvey9098]

Your marvelous

[@kevinschrum4931]

Bruce was more lively in his younger days. He was a better performer then. That is life. I will say; Bruces music still reaches my own children and Grandchildren. We Love Bruce Hornsby and The Range!!! Beautiful music!!!!

[@GoshGus]

I bet you were "more lively" in your younger years. Wow.

[@SN-nh6pq]

Kevin Schrum eye yie yie…….Uhh little FYI, when I was younger I was more active/energetic also. 💁🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[@louvregroove]

Paul, When was this recorded?

[@thepaulleslie]

Dear Mr. Crawford, February 2014.

Just the opposite is true. You're clueless.
