Leon was playing there. I saw him ambulating slowly through the casino using a cane. It came as no surprise when I read his obit a few months later.

I watched a video of him singing A Song For You - he sure could put together a good tune. I hadn't listened to him much lately and had forgotten just how good a piano player he was.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37dw2r45Xzg" rel="nofollow">Play it, Leon.</a> <br /><br />The Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354536924604187137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-51226442030083620582016-12-22T10:16:30.021-05:002016-12-22T10:16:30.021-05:00I think it's on the cover of "Saint Domin...I think it's on the cover of "Saint Dominic's Preview" that he has a split in his pants. A lot of his songs are dear to me. Some have made me cry at one time or another. Same as a lot of pop music, with Van Morrison I've found that it's often better not to pay close attention to the lyrics.<br /><br />A "Gloria" song that made me cry? You'll never guess.<br /><br /><i>¡Viva la Gloria</i> from Green Day's "21st Century Breakdown." Yeah. I know kind of weird.<br /><br />But I went about it just right. Never paid much attention to the lyrics. Managed to catch something about being cast out of the garden, having to fight a war, imminent doom, and undying love.<br /><br />Best to leave it at that.Eric the Fruit Bathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11003976042428037836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-4653037678809460612016-12-22T09:33:19.109-05:002016-12-22T09:33:19.109-05:00Van Morrison does not get nearly the credit he des...Van Morrison does not get nearly the credit he deserves. A great artist, as Sixty pointed out, for 50 years. I put Morrison in the same category as someone like Leon Russell. First class for decades. Not seeking attention, just producing great music until they die. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-62177454614868575132016-12-22T09:12:39.909-05:002016-12-22T09:12:39.909-05:00Whoa, G-L-O--R-I-A!! is way too much this early in...Whoa, G-L-O--R-I-A!! is way too much this early in the morn :)deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305989647913371151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-17104854338444007872016-12-22T09:02:55.103-05:002016-12-22T09:02:55.103-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08344824510190345160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-34396661415508752042016-12-22T09:02:43.720-05:002016-12-22T09:02:43.720-05:00Laura Branigan died more than 20 years ago.
