Hi Barry, 😊

@@splashesin8 Hi Audrey It's not raining, so I'm busy cutting hedges. 😀

★★★★★

Are they playing at U Hall? I saw Lee with Jackson Browne there in 1975. My other memory is taking a lot of showers there that year. My pipes were frozen for 6 weeks. 🥶😅 I was OK with the situation because I didn't have to pay rent for 2 months.

He plays the TUBA........

​@lelandsklar6363 🤣 ahhh yes, after all, he's a BASSet hound. Gotta play that bass. Love ya, Lee. 😃

Hi Sue, I enjoyed reading about the Miniature American Shepherd and a breed since 2015 and new to me. I had a Whippet as one of my four dogs and is listed at the same listed weight 20 to 40 pounds as your dog, mine was 35 pounds. Best wishes to you and Domino.

@artemisXsidecross hi bud! 👋 Oh yes, I love Whippets, closely related to greyhounds. And boy they are FAST! 😆 The Miniature American Shepherd is just a name the AKC uses to distinguish from the standard Australian Shepherd. Just a mini Aussie, really. Part of the herding group, they love agility training and exercises. Great companion dog, very intelligent like the Border Collie. Have a great evening! 😃🐾🐾😎

@@lelandsklar6363 🤗🐶

Loved Saratoga.......

@@lelandsklar6363 We would make the 1 1/2hr drive down from Montreal to see shows at Saratoga. Saw Jackson, James, Dan F, Paul S, Don H, Bruce S, and many other performers at Saratoga. Never saw you with Jackson or James, however.

Looking at this reminds me of SPAC.

Hey Fredom, 😊

So sorry you could not make it. Sending healing energy to you. Miss you ❤

@@lelandsklar6363 Hi, Lee! Miss you, too! I really wish that I hadn't been in so much pain yesterday when I got up! It subsided but That drive to VA from my house would have put me there at about 9 PM if I got lucky! I-95, the beast! I'm really hoping the concert was filmed. The warm up video was wonderful ❤ Catch up asap! Safe travels home and see you sooooon! XOXO! Beks!!!

So sorry to hear it. Condolences.

@@Mark_Brooks Thank you. Wasn't expecting it.

My heart is with you. So very hard to let go of our companions.

😢😘So sorry M&J.💙💗

@@splashesin8 Thank you. Hope you're doing ok.

I loved playing in the orchestra. There's nothing like it. Listening to everyone warming up and practicing was exhilarating. As the principal oboist, I had to sound the A for everyone to tune to. It was incredible. 🎶😊

You know!

@@biladcock9055 people like to talk about LA traffic but I feel like the DC metro area gives it a run for its money. I mean there is never not roadwork and god forbid an accident happens, hell even a cop on the side of the road will bring us to a crawl for a couple miles. God forbid you don’t have an ezpass flex or 2 other people to ride with you to make the hot lanes free. It’s over 30 bucks to take the hot/hov (whatever they call it these days) lanes from the beltway to the end of those lanes if there is not 3 people in the car. Let’s not even get into discussions about the exorbitant RT 66 tolls during rush hour. And this is all on the Virginia side. The WW bridge used to be crap, idk how it is now since the did the new span, I haven’t been on it since. I am happy they fixed both 95 exits from the beltway (in MD and VA) years ago tho.

@@paulyguitary7651 We moved to Richmond 7 years ago after 31 years in DC. NO rush hour. No gridlock. I have not regretted one day ( except I 95 on my 2 or 3 yearly trips to or through DC!)

They are extensions that allow for lower notes when needed rather than adding another string.,

@@lelandsklar6363 oh wow! Thank you kind sir!

Hi Mike. I hope all is well with you. I am missing the clubhouse but loving Lee’s daily videos.

Leland played Double Bass in school. That’s a low C extension.

@@Ian-Steele Hi Ian, what's with all these name changes on people's handles, first Hans Peter now you and probably a few more I've missed. Anyhoo. doing OK or should I say as well as my body let's me these days, God only knows when it will happen but I'm getting bloody tired of waiting for this Hernia op to be scheduled, been on the wait list now coming up 8 months and at times it's really starting to bug me no end and pretty painful at times too.. other than that ................. box of fluffy kittens How's things treating you lately

@@lavatar3562 That thought did occur to me so it's somehwhat like the hip shot for the E string on his basses

@@sceiron1 RU-vid changed everybody’s name and now beginning with ‘@‘ and not allowing any space between words. I assume it is have an easier way to use algorithms to track us and sell our data. I had to change ‘artemis sidecross’ to ‘artemisXsidcross’ RU-vid is another business picking our pocket for data. 👎

The screen was removed for the show. They were concerned about bleed from the band into the orchestra.
