I think I'LL get right to it
I haven't looked to listen to more of this older set.
There isthis a 5-minute
"Vaseline Machine Gun" ::This was Leo's encore for the show.
"Vaseline Machine Gun was the first song he composed using slide".
[Click to View YouTube Video]
but haven't gotten around to checking it out yet.
In this, a recent performance of "June Bug"
A song composed while listening to a June bug stuck between a screen &(door sic)during a sudden thunderstorm...
Leo's opening, his ramble while tuning, is good and takes 3min & 23sec.
If you skip it,
(Do)
you don't miss much:
something about, German Baroque Lute strings.
 An instrument* that has a lot of strings, a set of 13 pairs.
So he is alluding to the time it takes to tune & what a chore that is.
Then, a comment that Italian strings are made from Lamb & preferred to German strings made from older sheep...
Ending with -There is no Slide when playing Lute- (*if you see a huge looking guitar-like thing on your "YouTube feed", that's not exactly it)

The meat of this post, from my old stomping grounds.

I couldn't believe that Comfortably Numb solo by Gilmore in Pink Floyd was rated number 1 instrumental guitar solo. I purchased it from Google Play after reading the ratings.

Seeing Leo Kottke reminded me of the most epic acoustic melange I ever witnessed. In college I saw the following 4 dudes play individually and masterfully, in pairs, and then all 4 together honoring their individual styles while weaving together a magical tapestry:
Leo Kottke (funky slide and his own style)
Paco Pena (flamenco)
Joe Pass (jazz)
Pepe Romero (pure strict classical)
It was during the last year of Joe's life. I found out about the show because my guitar teacher was Celine Romero, Pepe's brother.
I wonder if there are recordings around of that....
p.s. i-b-goB thanks for that Sultans of Swing! First few seconds I already had a smile on my face.

Thanks, Hankster - that Pink version of "Me and Bobby McGee" brought actual tears to my eyes.
Just amazing.
