Please vote for Democracy!

Dropped our votes off at the neighborhood library last week! Easy peasy.

Been absentee voting for years, so easy no excuse for not doing it.

watching him and buddy play in band of joy made me smile.I thought yeah Robert Plant and Scotty and Buddy, should be good. It was....thanks lee

Big Darrell Scott fan, favorite song is You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive, awesome song.

Yeeehaw! Rain! Waging rainy, hydrated Peace! Glad I voted - over 45 years of voting for me.

Go Leland! Darrel Scott is great.

It's too late for the folks that didn't register. So please encourage others to register, especially before October. And those who are registered to get out and do your civic duty. 35% of eligible citizen voters turning out is far too low, and that is the estimated turnout this year. Persons that vote differently to you, are the loyal opposition. Non voters damage the system in my opinion, and re-enforce polarization of the politics and enable incumbent victory. It's simple 2nd grade math. 80 million non voters is sad. Thanks for caring about music, and our country and world. And, each other. Kind regards, Scott Rowland

Good afternoon Leland; Spot on with the importance of voting. Thanks for leading your video with it, and finishing with it!

This was wonderful - and it reminded me that I have yet to go back and check out the visit with Pat M. Hope the rehearsal goes great. And, yes, vote like the future of the country depends on you, because it does. Tomorrow is gonna be a nail-biter.

Wasn't familiar with Darrell and really like his writing! Love his story telling just the way you described it. Yes, a lot like Mac! Tomorrow is so important no matter what side you're on. Hopefully everyone votes. I am so troubled by the increase in the antisemitism being a member of the tribe just as you are Lee. My wife's parents and grandparents were survivors of that G-d awful time in history. I just don't understand how some people can be so damn ignorant! Have a good rehearsal today in Chatsworth. That's just down the road from me here in Granada Hills. Take care my friend.

😎 Good morning & happy Monday!

Thanks for the shout out of the gifted Darrell Scott. He's been under the radar for far too long. He's not just one of the most talented guy's out there, but a wonderful man. Hope those hands heal and thanks for all these wonderful posts.

Good morning and good afternoon ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful creatures Souls Earth Angels 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼I love love great ballads . We are Messengers. We are souls.

Hello lee, I wish for you that practicing with the band goes well and that your hands don’t bother you too much.🙏🏻 You have a lot of very good skills in those hands. And I’m happy for you that it is wet outside. I know you love a well taken cared of garden. Songs were soothing. I was very in the mood for these songs. Thank you lee. Greetings from a wet Holland ❤️

I saw Darrell Scott live twice. The first was with his band at a large festival. It was ok but there was a lot of competition. The second was at a smaller festival by himself mostly but with Sarah Jarosz for a few songs. I was blown away. He is a fantastic multi instrumentalist as well as songwriter and singer. if you get the chance to see him definitely go.

The radar certainly looks promising.

I like Darrell Scott so much. Really glad to hear you giving him some love. What a talented writer and artist! Voted here in GA the first day.

Thanks For Darrell!!!!!!

I’m shocked and worried about what happens in your country. They didn’t learn anything from the past! Stupid folks. Stupid but dangerous. Thank you for your daily messages and the music 💕

Good afternoon Lee and all Greetings from Epping,UK Cheers Barry 🎸

Howdy! Vote!

Thank you for highlighting Darrell! Such a great and well-respected writer.

yes yes! Darrell is a treasure! Layers deep as a writer and a player and oh that voice! His body of work is almost incomparable .....just like you/yours Leland! Thanks for this!

I am in South East Michigan near Ann Arbor. It is on the back end the Fall Color Season here. It was just an outstandingly beautiful season. Gold, Reds, Yellows. The majority of the leaves are on the ground now but it has been near 70 and just glorious. However those days are numbered and the snow and cold is close!

Mr.Leland your is the BEST! Congratulation.👏👏👏👏

Lee, I caught the tail end of Austin City Limits Saturday night. Lyle’s tour was on there and having followed your blow by blow description here, it was good to see just a portion of what you had painted such a vivid portrait of. Keep healing, we’ll keep praying for you. Tody

Hope all is well with your hand to play.It will all work out. Today's music reminds me of all that was happening back in the day.of the singer songwriters time a golden era.Stay safe,be safe Leland Sklar.

Thanks for the video! I was at that Kiva session, and had the pleasure of opening for Darrell Scott in our home state of Kentucky. Excellent songwriter.

Darrell Scott, new to me and Thank you very much, fantastic!

Thanks again Leland for introducing us to another artist that I was not familiar with. Thanks also for the link to the PBS show with Lyle L.

Leland , I am from Argentina and I play Irish and American folk . Love so much these musical style

Leland, do enjoy rehearsal with The Immediate Family. I know that you will journey in between the raindrops!

It's A Great Day to Be Alive. Long Time Gone. Out in the Parking Lot. Born To Fly. You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive. All Darrell Scott songs. Darrell also played in Robert Plan't's Band of Joy. The man is the real deal, and a good human being, at that.

Brother, NEVER apologize for defending democracy. I saw Darrell, Kenny Malone, and Danny Thompson in Chapel Hill (you'all should check out these players) There were thirty people there.

I'm a great fan of Darrell's. These songs are emblematic of many other great songs of his. Wonder if "My Father's House" is autobiographical. I've heard him speak of his father a lot, but never his mother. "When There's No One Around" is another great song from that album. Thanks for sharing a bit of his music.

Stay safe if anyone can play through this it’s you.

Loved these Darrell songs. ❤ For the hands! I am so relieved that I got my voting done a few days ago. There's always a hullaballoo when I show up. I always study, to prepare for remaining calm and on task, whatever BS might come my way. There was the most ever BS this past week. I maintained and completed it. I'm always stuck hearing five different overwhelming background noises for the duration, and have to decipher some backwards new peculiarity in the structure of the audio layout, trying to only focus on what I'm trying to hear in the headset attached to the machine. I should always remember to select the very fastest speed. I chose "normal" this last time. Hard to believe there was a slower speed, but there was. There was a small gang of people roaming around interfering a lot, delaying a lot of stuff. If I had waited till today, at least ten extra miles would've been added to my walk over to the nearest location available. Last week was only about a mile and half each direction. 😊

I had no idea you played on Family Tree. Such a great album and Darrell Scott is such a wonderful artist. I've seen him multiple times in concert and in music rooms. People need to seek him out and go enjoy his music.

Preach it!

Love this. Thank you. I discovered Darrell Scott when I heard "Love's not through with me yet"

Hey there, Lee and everyone! I always vote so that people more idiotic than myself do not shape public policy.

Looking forward to seeing the film here in UK.

Good evening Greetings from germany

I think the best thing any of us can do is get out of our bubble and talk to people you may disagree with. I still believe 80% of us really aren't all that different and can find common ground, but the crazy 20% get all the headlines and stoke all the anger and fears, but what keeps most people in their tribes is not going outside their tribe to actually talk to those different from them. We have so much more in common than a lot of people believe.

Loved the concert you directed us to........it is so much fun watching the guys enjoy being together as they play......friends for life.

Thanks once again for a great installment, yet another artist I (and maybe others) have never heard of and would most likely wouldn't if not for these KZfaq vids of yours. And thank you for the heads up on the Lyle Lovett & The Large Band show from ACL. I didn't think I would be able to being here in Australia but I was able to find a streaming option via some randomly selected Californian location I chose and to my surprise it played, often we cannot access such things here down under from the States. What made this so special was like many others I followed your travels with Lyle and the band across the country a few months back, and enjoyed every moment. So to be able to sit down and watch an entire concert from that tour in the luxury of our lounge room on the big screen was extremely satisfying, a great way to end that journey with you, Lyle and the band. Many thanks 'ol mate. Stay safe.

Hope the hands work well at the rehearsal today. Look after them!

Darrell Scott's bruised emotions put me in mind of Bruce Hornsby .

Thank you for playing Darell Scott; I added this album to my library and will search out for more of his work. 👍

Reminds me ( in a good way) of Loudon Wainwright - always good to hear a new artist.

Hey Lee, just stopped by to say howdy, listen to some great story telling, terrific music and also wish you continued success in your healing. Having recently experienced nerve damage to my left hand that prevented me from playing for nearly two months, I can only imagine the frustration you must be going through by not being able to play up to your usual standards for any length of time. I’m looking forward to seeing the documentary of you and the fellas. I hope you know how much joy your channel has brought to music lovers of all ages (like you, I’m 75). Wishing you all the best. ~ Mark

Drive Safely ❤❤

❤ Loved hearing this! If there was an album I’d buy it. Voting today!

Happy week!!! Thank you Lee!!!

Man, I managed to dodge the COVID bullet until now. I'm glad we got a video today to lift my spirits. I voted on Halloween.

Great music today Lee. Thanks

Darrell's music is great. Thanks for another musical avenue to explore.... Trust your rehearsal rocks!

Good evening Leland and everybody

Thanx a lot for sharing Darrell‘s songs!!! You always widen my horizon. I get in touch with musicians more people should listen to. Although I get your news in the evening I will not allow myself to miss a thing. Edward from Berlin

Just read IFam is coming to The Basie! 🙌

Thank you Leland for a visit, music, and more importantly your voice of conscience. I am a first born American, my grandfather a socialist and jew was shot in the back and left for dead. Today’s news world wide is an echo of 1920’s Europe and Asia as shown by history in Italy, Germany, Spain and Japan. Fascism is a retrovirus without adequate hygiene it reforms. Tomorrow is like waiting for the aftermath of hurricane of unknown direction and severity. My head spins with a quote from Bob Dylan’s new book: “…But you’re in limbo, and you’re shouting at anyone who’ll listen, to take you out of this garden of evil. Get you away from the gangsters and psychopaths, this menagerie of wimps and yellow-bellies. You want to be emancipated from all the hokum. You don’t want to daydream your life away, you want to get beyond the borderlands and you’ve been ruminating too long…” Bob Dylan The Philosophy of Modern Song

👍👍. Great voice! Very interesting. (Speaking of Shane McAnally and one of his PBS appearances), if you were in any way involved with Charlie Worsham's "Mississippi in July," please do that one (you show up on so many pieces that it never hurts to ask). It's really unfortunate that we are past the era of network documentaries. Regardless of party or ideological orientation, it seems like we're all overdue for a refresher course on what living in a dictatorship/fascist dictatorship is like for over 99% of the population.

I always thought that in front of the election booths there should be a separate booth where people would have to pass a test on simple political and social questions. If they pass, they are eligible for voting. If the test shows that they don’t know simple facts, voting should be denied. 👹

Darrell is just so great. Will be seeing him at Wintergrass in February, looking forward to it so much.

I'm so glad to hear your hand(s) are healing. I'm going through a wrist injury, two weeks into healing now. two more weeks to go of no playing my bass, it's killing me. Love your streams, I look forward them everyday.

What is it with voting on Tuesday? Surely that is anti-democratic. Here in Aus we vote on Saturdays and have 2 weeks of pre polling available to us.

😎👍❤🖖 Love Brother

Coucou leland gros bisous de Belgique 😊

Watched a pretty good music documentary on Chuck Leavell today. It's called Chuck Leavell: The Tree Man, it can be found on KZfaq. The similiarities between he and Leland are amazing in this documentary. Both love music, their yards, pups, wives, concerned about climate change. They both have played with just about everyone in the music industry. The one thing that really stuck out is their work ethic is neck and neck to the finish line. When you watch it you can't help but think of how similar their paths are. There's a part towards the end where Chuck is working on a part for Jackson Brown's Load Out where I thought WOW. When he takes a trip to Paris with his wife I about fell over. Remember about 6-7 months when Lee and Maureen went to Paris? Watch the documentary you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for another lovely video. I haven´t heard this guy before, but I kinda like this guitarbased country/folk-music. And now for something completely different: I just watched a video of you playing "Sussudio" back in 2018 in LA. That is one bitchin´ bassline right there. But you pulled it off nicely. Thanks again for your daily vodeos: it´s always nice to here your voice. If it was possible, I would definitely vote tomorrow. Hope the good forces prevail. There are to many negatives goin´ on in the US right now. Also where I live, which is Sweden, we just voted in a right wing government, with a former (nazi-)veryrightwing supporting party. Well, let them have there 15 secs, We´ll be back. Good luck with your rehearsels.

I love it when musicians Do politics I respect you good job

Band of Joy...

I find it so ironic that the people who hate Jews claim to be Christians. Don’t they realize that Jesus was Jewish? Regarding music, thanks so much for sharing so many wonderful singers and musicians who never got the recognition they deserved. Take care & God bless all.

yes, thanks lee for this music, if you want please put automatic subtitles in the videos, thanks! daniel

Wish someday see your live show rather than watching on KZfaq. Please do tell your schedule so I can apply for a USA visa 🤠.

Easy does it at rehearsal. Voting today yes My sister undergoes dialysis 3x week I’ll be voting NO one 29.

Voted early. Seems crazy how backwards we’re going. How women can vote against womens rights is baffling. Ooops wrong platform….

❤❤

My country is changing its name next year because we have so much wet weather ! From January 2023 ,we will be known as Scotlandrain . All the one word .Bonnie Scotlandrain........

Darrell Scott certainly has something to say. Most Americans are not altruistic but vote from the hip pocket so I anticipate Congress and the Senate will be controlled by Republicans after your midterms unfortunately! Where’s my Flying V Guitar!?! 😂 😛

Lee: While on the subject of a Darrell ( or Daryl). I was reading about you on Wikipedia. It said very early in your career, while in college, you played with Daryl Dragon. He is best known as The Captain in the husband and wife musical duo "The Captain and Tenille". Did you ever do a KZfaq video about him ? That would be interesting.

Beautiful rain. Especially when it has been so dry. Hopefully our wet period has ended with yours beginning. Vote blue. They suck less.

Enjoyed Darrell, another example of how cruel the record business can be. Loved watching the Austin Lyle performance. Question please, was this a highly edited version of the show? I'm guessing you played much longer. I'd pay good money to see the whole thing. Thanks.❤🖕❤🖕

Have a great rehearsal…hope that hand has healed enough🖕

Afternoon Leland

Have you ever made any consideration regarding changing your name legally to Gandalf Sklar?

Puts me in mind of John Hiatt singing “Thirty Years of Tears”. Did Darrell Scott ever collaborate with John? Are we to understand that it’s all right for somebody like Roseanne Barr or Kanye West to have an opinion, but it’s not OK for you to have your own, Leland? Last I checked, America is not supposed to be exclusive. That’s one of the reasons I have lost my pride in this nation.

What’s with the bogus replies

I"m not an American..but man dont like what i been seeing.. you are at the crossroads..and with so much going on in the world now..we need stability..and that seems to be sliding away..

Great video and refreshing wise words Mr Sklar on the state of the hatred in the world!. Thank god for the music! Also watched Toughest Girl in Town video , and its awesome!. The Immediate family might just have something Ha ha ha . Thanks Lee.
