Brother Leo is an old friend and space cadet comrade Essie, but I thought you knew that. We met in '91 on Chet Atkins' "Guitar Masters" tour. Lee Ritenour & Steve Wariner made us sit together in the van because Leo and I are both "
a bit drifty" (he's deaf in one ear and I'm almost deaf in both, lol).
He's a dear man, loved by everyone he meets. Leo gave us our best wedding present performing "Rings" for our wedding in 2000 ... Listen:
Rings (April 2000)

Ohhhhhh.. sweetie, you’re right! You told me once that you were friends, I just....spaced out for a moment there. LOL!
I didn’t know about your wedding though, very cool.
I like his guitar playing but I think his voice is very sweet too.
So you’re both kind of deaf, huh? hehehehe

Wow Drumbo !
You know Leo ?!?..........very cool !
I have been a fan of his for ages and even used his crow river waltz medley for our wedding. Started slow and ended fast ......(like the marriage :o). These days my ovation ultra’s and old Alvarez is kept busy bastardizing his works, Adrian Leggs and Richard Gilewitz’s. Love his music !
Thanks for all of what you do for the troops !!
Stay safe !
