Salut Leland je t’es rencontré à Nancy en France tu y jouais avec Veronique au Zénith, nous avons discuté un peu, super rencontre super échange tu es un gars formidable, humble et super accessible. Merci Mr Sklar

A very pleasant two hour session hanging at the Lee's Clubhouse yesterday.

It was a great time in the clubhouse last night! And for those wondering, I have no clue how to play bass (or any other musical instrument) and love the interaction with everyone

I've always been a fan of Veronique Sanson, such a voice, such a piano player and such a songwriter. Funny thing, I was in France in 1993 and I happened to go to the Zenith to see her in concert. Memorable concert by the way I remember telling my girlfriend :"Hey look, it's that bass player from the Phil Collins videos" And here we are 28 years later and you talk about that period. The circle is complete, as they say.

Thanks Lee for revisiting Veronique Sanson. We all love her so much in France, and she's such a nice person, so sensible. This album is one of my faves ! Feel free to do another one. I'm pissed off because of the taxman story ! Bureaucracy is such a pain here ... The story about the language is the same for us when we listen to english speaking artists, but a great song is a great song, and it's possible to appeciate it whatever the language.

Leland, you are loved. Not just for your bass playing. I just finished watching a Zoom from The Berklee Bass Department, with some guests of rock bass players, and drummers. They showed a picture of you with Steve from the Berklee Bass Department, and the bass player, and drummer from the band Tool. Many of guest artists got big smiles on their faces and said how much they liked you. I thank you Leland for guiding me back to these Zoom meetings from my Alma mater, from watching this channel.

I studied High School French, as well. Which is to say that I don’t speak French, either. But I’ve been a big VS fan for years. Loved revisiting some of her work today.

Like you say Lee, yesterday’s livestream was just brilliant. The clubhouse certainly has attracted a great bunch of people who all seem so friendly; bass players and non musicians alike. I think that the quality and type of members says a lot about the guy at the centre of it all 👍🖕😎

She has a killer voice. Wish I spoke French to understand the lyrics. Songs sound fabulous

So weird...the video is blocked in Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria. Those are the countries that things get blocked in normally. Really sad. Would love to be sharing music with EVERYONE.

It is a cool get together - Lee's Clubhouse. Eclectic, caring folks. We talk to one another like cousins at the family reunion. I cannot read music, yet music is perhaps the most important non-family love of my life. That's how I knew who Lee was back in '72, when I was a kid starting to buy records. That's what brought me to this great channel last spring. Nearly a year later - Clubhouse gatherings, a Zoom conversation with Lee, the "finger" book on our coffee table (Ok, it's a trunk) - I'm still attending this daily great Music History class as often as I can. I have this fantastical thought of - when the Pandemic is history - meeting with all of the Clubhouse characters and Leland at some gigantic shindig in a field in Bethel, NY (or Pasadena!)

J'ai tous les albums de Véro SANSON , je ne me lasse pas de sa musique et du jeu de Lee SKLAR . J'attends que la scène vous réunisse de nouveau !!!

Thanks Mr. Sklar for you daily chronicle. I subscribed a few weeks ago, listening to the great stories and memories about your amazing bass player journey. And thanks so much for today’s session about Véronique Sanson. I’m French and so proud we had such great musicians playing together with one of the greatest artist we have over there.

Evening Leland and everybody.

clubhouse was as it always was: great !!! good to have places like this to hang around while this worldwide desaster ! all the best to all here :)

Oooh la, la. Vive la difference. Un tres entente cordiale n'est ce pas? Tres bien et au revoir - bon nuit. A British fan in London - cheers mate!

I think you should still write a memoir. Lee, you have so many wonderful stories just waiting to be shared!

Hi All. Thanks Leland for a great hang last night! Stay safe everyone. Cheers

Hi Leland from France . We love Véronique Sanson !

Hey, Lee and everyone!

Je me suis tellement manquée de Véronique Sanson 💜 Superbe cette chanson .

I am not a musician but all my kids and my husband is..... so I am always asking them for questions, but the thing I love about the live stream is everyone is so nice and everyone just wants to talk and share, I LOVE IT

So bummed I missed the trumpet playing leprechaun, She is such a lovely person. I rudely had to leave the livestream a tad early for some pressing paperwork. Such a great Clubhouse yesterday. Just a cool community. Thanks for the tunes, so nicely arranged and performed. Stay safe..got my first shot today🖕

Many thanks for this post, much appreciated. Don't hesitate to check her out! Songs played are: "Panne de cœur", "Rien que de l'eau", "Mon voisin" and "Sans regrets", all from her 1992 album "Sans regrets"

I was lucky to see Paul Jackson in '77 at the Golden Bear as part of Stomu Yamashta's Go II USA tour band - Michael Shrieve on Drums, his brother Kevin on Guitar; Paul on Bass; Patrick Gleeson & J. Peter Robinson on keys; Jess Roden & Ava Cherry on vocals. a few others I can't recall off the top of my heard. A great performance and a great concert experience!

VÉRONIQUE SANSON est la plus grande musicienne et chanteuse Française SHE IS THE BEST merci Leland pour cet hommage rendu à VERO ❤️ 🙏 je ne comprends malheureusement pas tout ce que vous dites mais j'en comprends l'esprit merci 😊 bisous de Paris ❣️

I missed the very end, but went back and saw Adele do "Danny Boy"--fantastic! thanks for that community of cool. great music from VS.

I'm so happy you and Maureen got a "Date Night" out! (And that it was safe and fun!)

Loved the mood of the last track - so atmospheric.

The livestream was great! I think the mass diversion into food and restaurant chat reveals the pent up frustration we all feel over not being able to eat in restaurants for the past year.

I was watching Paul Jackson Headhunters live at the Winterland 1974 as I received Lealands' youtube notification. Man sad news.

I'll always remember back in 2007-ish, in my mom's car, driving in the south of France. I was a young bassplayer - into like one or two years of practice. My mother had the « Comme ils l'imaginent » record, live at Francofolies de la Rochelle in 1994. I didn't know who was Véronique back in the days, so I put the CD in the player. Good, all good. But then came the 10th track : « On m'attend là-bas », with Paul Personne as guest on the lead guitar. First, his licks were pretty good, I was hyped. The crescendo is pretty well, I wonder what will follow ; I'm all focused of what's happening. And then the rhythm section and the brass section play the « main groove » of the song. I was blown away by how tight y'all were. Powerful, sexy, punchy, without pretention or anything : pure strength. From this day, 14 years ago, to nowaday, since I'm now a professionnal bassplayer, bass teacher and MD in musicology, this is what I might call "a" pinacle of groove. This song, and especially these few seconds, totally changed my way of thinking how a rhythm section should play, how a specific musical wish should be executed. You and Neil had an impact in my musical life in a few seconds like a very few others. And, well, many thanks for that, boss. Greetings from Rennes, Britanny (France) !

Karen Briggs!...Ohhhhhh she is such a talented violinist!

Bonjour Lee. So happy that you are a straight shooter. No BS! Man...I wish I had a dollar for every time you plucked a string on Frankenstein... Sans Regrets... haunting... Au Revoir

Just thinking. Pretty big shoes to fill. Most people would compare the lyrics to Edith Piaf's "Non, je ne regrette rien". Beautiful stuff.

Wish I could join up! But, on permanent disability and have to count the pennies! I'm so glad that I could connect with you this way, though. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Lee!

Lucky you to have gotten to play with Véronique and lucky us to have you share your work together with us. Stay safe and stay well!

First album of veronique Sanson is a must listen !!!! really cool you talk about our Véronique (I can see the tour effel blanking right now as everyday...). The third song you play is one of my fav. And yes you are right : lyrics are outstanding and many french as me love listening to Veronique sounds. Thanks a lot for this episode. Thibault

Here is a huge thank you from France for being there with us via this channel despite of the situation. You are so inspiring for all of us bass players and more generally musicians. I would so much love to see you with Véro on stage! Stay safe!

Saludos desde chile...

Enjoyed this episode! The introduction to Ms Sanson’s music was a pleasure 🎶💐💐💐

Hi Lee. Veronique's music is beautiful .I will go and check her out a little more . The second and third songs particularly got me. She uses really nice lifts and inversions in her chord arrangements. great as always. Have a great day.

So great to hear you, Lee, it raises so many memories ! We often speak about you with Vero and I must say that we miss you terribly much. Come back to France, pkease, I promess that we will speak to you exclusively in French...

She is an amazing artist. You can visualize a setting in each of these tunes! The French artists even here that I played with have such amazing chord changes and are also amazing musicians! Thanks for sharing Sir!

Wish I could understand French. I usually manage when it is spoken very slowly. Enjoyed it all the same.🤗

Really Interesting and enjoyable music. Sort of Flamenco Nuevo meets the Beatles. Loved it. Thanks for making us aware of a larger hidden music world and history. Great bass playing!

The Livestream Clubhouse is such an awesome hang. I look forward to it every time!!

👍🏽🥳 ure the townhowler of that reLA westerntime grooved calendar. !versatile armour francophone-stein, very triphoppy chanson amour 💙❤️🎶 love it!

Flying and soaring ! Thank You as always!

The bass on the second song is on fire! That rhythm reminds me of Jeff P. for some reason.

I used to work for a live production company and I always hated having to deal with a piano coming in if the venue didn't have one. Pulling it out of the truck and putting it together and then have to deal with the piano guys the whole time was never fun. I cant imagine having to carry your own piano and deal with it everyday.

I enjoyed the show today! She’s got it all!!! Thx!

Play, listen, Yak all good! I look foward to this every day, whatever you decide to do...

We would LOVE to hear one of your practice sessions sometime. No commentary needed!

One of the best things about watching your daily posts is discovering music that has somehow passed me by. When I listen to singing in foreign languages I conjure an image that is often deeper than the reality however my favourite French singer at the moment is Camille Bertault. Anyway, thanks for turning me on to new (for me) music.

I know she has better songs but Mon Voisin is my favorite, such a good melody line. Love your work Mr Sklar, glad to find you in KZfaq.

Thanks Lee ! I adore you and thank you for Véronique Sanson it's Steven Still (our common points! The bass and the Basset Hounds) ....Gil France

Talking and listening to music is good. When you get the inkling, we would love to hear you play.

Great music as usual Leland. One of my sisters is named Véronique and I can say as a French Canadian only family and very close friends use the abbreviated name Vero which tells me a lot. Merci Beaucoup.

Thanks Lee - really interesting song structures and a great singer - hope she reaches a wider audience - refreshing to hear such originality.

Hahahahaha I love it Lee.......I can just see you calling someone like that out!!!!!!!

Veronique is very popular here in Quebec too. Merci!

Très bien fait! (3.5yrs of University of Wisconsin French and that’s about all I can muster.) Great tracks.

Thanks again for more unheard beautiful interesting tunes. Much appreciated as always 🖕🖕🖕

I had been waiting for this video for months ! Vero is one of my favorite French artist and, as a bass player, I particularly love the songs you played with her (seras-tu là ? / Rien que de l'eau / les délices Hollywood...) Thanks a lot Lee. You're great. Cheers from France.

What a great band

Merci beaucoup Lee! Yes, why not a book about your memories?

Thanks for Vero Lee.

Thank you Leland, again, a great session. I so look forward to your you tube sessions everyday, my day is not complete without it. Veronique has a lovely soothing voice.

Love the style, the vibe, of the music. I’m like you, Lee...three years of French in high school...so frustrating to be over there and not be able to have the language come out of your mouth with any fluency. You end up being able to read it but that’s about it. Have you ever heard of a female artist called Ishtar? Sings in French and English..often with a Moroccan vibe. Very cool.

Love it!...

Again a new name for me, but a very good song!

Thanks Leland. See yah tomorra.👍

Hey Lee. After the date and time, you're excused! LOL. Glad the livestream was fun. Cheers and take care.

Paul Jackson! Wow. What a loss.

Thank You Lee 👍🏻

Love it a humble gal!!!!!!

That bass in the beginning has a slight thriller sound to it....slight! Or Miami Vice!!!!? Kinda, it's its own but you can hear it slightly.(Second Song)

She is such a great pianist and singer/composer. Such a bluesy groove in her voice. As a french i especially love her 70s/80s period. Such a great artist. This is one of her hit from late 70s if i remember correctly : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcCJqriAs7m9m4U.html

I hear a slight similarity in voice with Vero and Basia.

Hello Leeland

Evening Leland

👍😎❤🖖 Love brother

i met you at la Rochelle.....1985 i think.....

Can you do an episode explaining the value of reading music?

Lee, thanks for answering my question about your dogs. But, how do they react to the music. being played....????

Figure out a NEW cat.....Like it!!!!!

Leland, book #2 a memoir or autobiography.

I love your bass playing and as a person .Did you ever play with orchestra by your self or with any band. Thanks

I just started thinking I need a lighter, even though I don't smoke. ☺️

Was Caribou near Vail????

What have you done with your right forearm Lee? Looks like you have a 'boo-boo'. As always - be safe and take care. Phil

FRENCH 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵

Great track. The second song "sans regrets", is it Chester Thompson on drums ?

Do you lightly sand the necks of your Basses ?

Stephen Stills’ ex wife

Number one again?

Are you ever going to introduce us to your better half?

0:38 I finally got my invites today from here invites.monster . I'm loving it! 垃圾。
