A Wonderful YouTube Channel-Bassist Leland Sklar

If you're a fan of music from the late 60's thru to now, check out the YouTube channel of the great bassist, who's played on the recording sessions & toured with the best known acts of the past 40 or so years, from James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, CSNY & Phil Collins. 

 

He has a huge white beard & is just a delight to listen to with many stories & anecdotes of his career.  He talks about the many sessions & tours he's played on & will pull the tracks up & then, play his bass parts along with some of them.  He's one of those people that I can listen to talk for hours (maybe, because I grew up with the LA music scene) & seems like a genuinely kind & nice guy. 

 

I think he's been uploading something pretty much every day for the past couple of months & is just a very enjoyable person with interesting things to talk about, if you're into music.  Check him out if you're so inclined.
