Good squeekend everybody 🇳🇴

Working w Joshua was a real highlight of my time in music. And the few days I was there during the recording of delilah blue were amazing to watch. I distinctly remember talking to you and telling you how much it meant to me that you were there, Lee. And hearing you say Joe Hardy’s name - he was one of my best mates. So sad he’s gone. Glad you mentioned him.

Leland!!!!!! What??? THE Legend on so many records that saved my life!!!! To this day, your music still saves me!!!!! This is unbelievable!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

As Paul Simon once said: “Still squeakin’ after all these years.”

I had forgotten about Joshua K (shame on me).Thanks for the friendly reminder. Very, very nice - the singing, the playing, and the storytelling. Elton’s an obvious one throughout, but I was getting a smidge of Rickie Lee on Delilah, as well. Don’t know why. As usual, Baird kicked 100% of my ass. What a great player. Hope everyone’s well.

Hello everybody. I am painting kitchen cabinets today, and also working on some gardening. Hope everyone has a great day. It's beautiful here in Richmond VA.

Joshua Kadison is one of my all time favorite singers... love him!!!

Idk if anybody would ever lump Billy Joel, Dan Hill and Prince together, but I hear a little of all of them. I remember this guy. I've always liked him. Haven't thought about him in awhile.

Thanks Lee..Another artist you turned me on to..I like him and will dig deeper..Squeaky..Please leave him alone..We have become quite attached..

All songs tell a story, but Joshua Kadison is a *real* story teller! The kind you want to settle in and really listen to. Keep digging through your musical closet, Leland! Stay safe and stay well!

Evening Lee & all From an overcast but dry Ullapool in the Scottish highlands Cheers Barry 🏍😎🍻

Love Kadison! His debut album was a huge hit in South Africa - exquisite voice and piano playing skills - reminds me a lot of Elton John. Thank you for another awesome chapter in music appreciation 101! I hope all is going well, Lee. So looking forward to the livestream on Tuesday! ps. The chair must never be de-squeaked! :)

He gave you the space and you brilliantly occupied it, fortifying each track with as layered, or as simple, as required. I get the Buckmaster reference, as his orchestrations (and Gus Dudgeon’s) propelled Elton’s productions to inherit the crown from George Martin’s foundational work.

Love Joshua’s songs ❤️🙏❤️🎼🤗❣️ He is an amazing performer and human ❤️🙏❤️🎼❣️👏👏👏🤗🌞 so cool thank you 🙏❤️🎼👏👏❣️

what a nice voice and he is Gorgeous to look at too! The back up singers are INCREDIBLE!!!

Joshua Kadison is an incredible storyteller and musician. Great voice and pianoplay. I have been a huge fan since Jessie. I got the chance to meet Joshua in person back in 1994 when he was in the Netherlands for a tv performance. And then a year later - it was September 1995 - I got the chance to be there at the promotion concert of Delilah Blue in Germany. Amazing, I will never forget ❤️❤️ And thank you so much for highlighting Joshua's work this way, Leland. Much appreciated 👌 I think a lot of people have no idea how amazing he is. And nice to hear someone talk about Joshua's amazing gift who has been part of the fantastic band that accompanied Joshua on his 2nd album. ❤️❤️

Joshua has the gift. You can't teach much of what he does, the feeling, the strength. He's a great singer. Edit: A little Jonny Lang vibe going on too. It's great to watch your face, Lee as the song plays. You are instantly transported back to the times you had in the studio. The collaboration, the hang, being with the musicians. It is such a rich tableau.

The last line of "Just Like Bridget Bardot" is a mind blower on its own; "Nefertiti came out west in a stolen limousine" .. Brilliant lyrics. On level with Warren Zevon also, Graham Parker, who I think is an under-appreciated word/songsmith!! Being a lyric fanatic who leaves it mostly to others to write them, I just LOVE Joshua's work!! Songs that tell great stories and they are mesmerizing!! The melodies, choruses, production, band! .. All great! .. Love these tracks! Intense .. The Pearl .. just chilling. whew. Thank you for the visit into the world of another great!!! 🎶🐕🐕🎶

Joshua Kadison seems to have dropped off my radar the past 2 decades but he’s certainly a powerful singer and a great songwriter! Thanks for bringing him back to my attention.

Hey Leland this one is really special. Love storytelling songs. They just pull you in take you on a journey. Too many of these artists get lost in music biz BS. Thanks for bringing it to light.

Lee you have played some much variety of music. As you have stated. Great schooling I bet over your career too. Always learning something new.

Spa Day -The Low Stress of High Heeled Boys - sounds like the future album of Traffic.

Nice opening bass!!!! JLBB!

I remember buying his Delilah Blue album in 1995. Scanned the credits and saw Lee was on it!! Love it.

Enjoying hearing Joshua....such a soothing voice.❣

Hummingbirds have to be one of nature's loveliest gifts, anything that is that beautiful AND can fly backwards is right up there in my nature book. 😊 Joshua Kadison is a name I haven't heard for a looooong time thanks for the memory refresher, Loved it. 👍 😎

Thank you for highlighting Joshua Kadison, Leland. You are simply amazing sharing all of these wonderful artists. I love the story songs, and one of my favs is Harry Chapin, he is truly missed. Did you play with him as well? I'm glad the pups are "pretified", my Doodle always feels better after a bath. But, with the Covid he was not able to go to the groomer so I bought a clipper for him. I won't tell you how he looks but I am consistent with his haircuts, thank goodness his hair grows fast, and so it goes..... HELLO SQUEAKY😉💓🤗 Be safe everyone and have a great evening.

Another great one to add to my playlist 🙏🏻Brigitte Bardot ❤️‍🔥

Thanks for such a great video and for contributing your gifts to such a terrific (and greatly under-appreciated) album. I've told Joshua on a couple of occasions how much I love this album and that the title track is one of his three best songs ever. (He agrees.)

Jessie is one of the best pieces of art I've had the privilege of experiencing.

After watching you Lee, l went and played my Delilah Blue CD - 10 times!!!

👏 WOW. What a voice Joshua has. Thanks for this one Lee ❤🖕

I like those squeaks 😁❣️The wail, I always think, is the best part.

I'm so happy you chose to talk about Joshua Kadison. Ever since I found this channel I've been waiting for a talk on Delilah Blue. The bass is absolutely sublime on that song (and the entire album!). Thank you! Kadison deserves more attention.

It is amazing to me that every single song is a sure hit! Delilah Blue is on another level! Joshua Kadison is inspirational and that makes him a music Icon! Love JK!

Hi Leland! That chair still is squeaking! Say hello to the boys for me!

Harry Chapin, Elton John, Billy Joel … and Joshua Kadison - good company, well said!

I like the squeaky chair. It’s like an audio tag at this point. I like hearing it and that you joke about it. Silly yes, but cool.

This song and the performance is absolutely stellar! Joshua was a special Gem that many never got to see - what a writer......Bravo - Leland - the bass is purely soulful and all feel - awesome

I think some of us here and your streams and clubhouse think of them as a clinic as well. 😎 😊

I love Joshua Kadison and still hold out hope that he will return to music. Join his fan club on Facebook..such devoted fans. His work is amazing ❤️

Thanks Lee. More fabulous music for us to follow up. By the way it would be lovely to see those Hummingbirds if you could point your camera in their direction. Take care. 😄

Hi Lee . When you introduced this on ,I misheard you and thought you said 'happy Squeakend ! like the chair gets louder as the week comes to a close.

I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this! I absolutely adore Joshua and he’s kinda back! Been posting quite a bit lately and I’m here for it ❤

Hey y’all spa day for the knucklehead brothers. They’ll need extra TV and couch time to recover! ;-) This music selection today reminds me of the Stones’ “Black and Blue” album. “Fool to Cry” and “Memory Motel” with Billy Preston. Excellent another new artist to check out. Thank you El Squeaky One. Righteous dude that you are. Ciao.

I agree on ELton & Joel vibe. Although all Joshua! You can hear a bit of it is what I mean.

Joshua is one of my biggest inspirations, they way all his lyrics tells a story and has a movie playing in my head as i listen to him. Love his songs! Thank you for this, and just one question, how on earth do you eat with that beard? ;)

Wonderful week of music, tyou!

Wow!!!!! Wonderful that huge sound!!!!

Thanks for Joshua!!!!!!!!!

Nice!... I did not know him. Thanks once again, Lee! P.S. regarding your comment about your approach to clinics, most of them shows how technocrats we've become. Have an awesome day, everyone!

I am gonna check into a mobile groomer for myself. I have been so busy with my music and gigs I am a couple of days behind on my time with Leland and his Sklar Army the Sklarites!

Hey Lee , Glad you decided to liberate the lads from their odiferousness! Makes for a more mellifluous environment, no?

Missing this great Artist ….Hope there will be new music again from Joshua

Every time you make the chair squeak and mention the chair I burst out laughing. Your a funny guy. You remind me so much of my good friend who passed away 6 or 7 years ago. You act, talk and even look like him. Every time I watch your videos it's like I am seeing my good friend again so thanks for your videos. From Maine.

The bass sustain is eternal! Thank you as always!

Great stuff…so many influences and yet unique..thanks for sharing. Stay safe🖕

Thanks Lee 👍🏻 happy weekend ✌🏻

Watching you a little late in Colorado! Squeaky 😎😴💤

hello what a wonderful story

love your squeaky chair

Thank you Lee. Have a great weekend!

Glad the Boys had a nice mobile grooming session, btw. “Doggie waaash, dooooooggie rinse...” 😂

Hope the boys smell nice and clean. Always a treat after being groomed.

My Ad Remover is having issues with KZfaq as of 2-3 days ago, so I couldn't read the comments until I disabled it so this might have been mentioned... David Campbell - string arrangements and conductor (2, 7) Paul Buckmaster - string arrangements and conductor (3) Suzie Katayama - string contractor (2, 3, 7) And Al Schmitt (with Charlie Paakkari's assistance) recorded the strings.

p.s. REALLY love all those basses! Truly magical.

Don’t fix that chair Lee! It has character! :) Well maybe a little WD40. Lol

I knew the name but not the music - I really like it a lot! The crazy thing is that I was working for EMI (UK) when this record was released and I don’t remember anyone at the company saying ‘check this out!’. JK is a great writer/singer. I get all the comparisons to Elton and Marc Cohn but he’s got his own thing going on. Especially spellbound by the BVs on the first track. Will have to dig deeper!

At least the squeaking chair shows, that's all OK. Hello Leland 🙂

Leland, you are a gentleman and a badass.

Have a nice weekend Leland.

Love it!!!!!!!

Cool! Have a great day!!

thnk you so kind

Lee, have you listened to Marcus King? He is a young guitarist. He seems to have been born with the gift, I highly recommend his music.

Hello lee i just got my puppy hair cut also..😁👍

Hey, Lee and everyone! So, it is bath day for the boys. My girl always knew when it was bath day. The sound of running tub water with an open bathroom door was always the cue for her to slink off someplace to hide. She bounced with joy when it was over. I could never tell if she was happy to have endured another bath or if her celebration were in anticipation of the sweet doggie treat reward. How did your boys do? Are they bath fans?

Did he have a multicolored painted piano?????

😎👍❤🖖 Love brother

Thanks for more goodies. Enjoyed that. Much appreciated 🖕🖕🖕

Thanks Lee!

I wish I had a mobile groomer lol Leland your beard looks so fresh today, maybe you partook of the groomer as well❤Great video as usual and thanks 👍🎸

With you on the Sklar peleton.

He sounds much like Marc Cohn live

I love Joshua. I've always heard a bit of a Jude Cole vibe in his work.

would be nice to hear about how you started out, first bass, why bass, first band, all the interesting stuff. (and how are you going with arthritis playing now days, cause its Pi...ng me off big time)

LEE: Connie had it on her Instagram. instagram.com/p/CPkJPYWJPCe/

The mobile groomer? And a 3 for two deal?

Painted Desert Serenade is of the best pop rock albums of the 90s. Pity he never broke in America. Big following in Europe and Australasia. Delilah Blue was a crap followup sorry, killed his career.

That hip needs lubed again Leland🤣

It's been a while since I've heard the chair. Did you re-stock your squeakener?

did you work his first record or just deliah?

Hmm, an attribution comment was deleted. Is it it not OK to post links now?
