Stranger in a Strange Land

"Known mostly as a session musician, Russell has played with artists as varied as Jerry Lee Lewis, Phil Spector and The Rolling Stones. With a solo career spanning the genres of rock, blues, and gospel, Russell began his musical career at 14, lying about his age to land a gig playing backup at a Tulsa nightclub to play with Ronnie Hawkins behind Jerry Lee Lewis. Two years later, after settling in Los Angeles, he studied guitar with James Burton, and worked sessions with Dorsey Burnette and Glen Campbell." (wiki)I'm going to see Leon play at The Narrows Center for the Arts in a few weeks. It's been a long time since I last saw him, oh yeah, maybe I saved the stub...Aug 8th 1982, a really long time...

Got any good stubs to share?

extraordinarypoems says I like Leon Russell. I've always especially liked the "Tightrope" song.

deadmandeadman says Leon in a stripped down setting is gold. His larger productions used to swallow him up sometimes. Should be a good show, and knowin' you, B42, the review will be worthy of it. MOG ON you crazy zirconium.

B42 says "Shine On You Crazy Zircomium" is a nine-part Pink Floyd composition with lyrics written by Roger Waters and music written by Waters, Richard Wright, and David Gilmour. It was first performed on their 1974 tour.[1] It was recorded for the 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here. The song was intended to be a side-long composition like "Atom Heart Mother" and "Echoes," but the song grew longer than a single side of vinyl would allow. It was split into two parts and used to bookend the album. Both parts make up the longest Pink Floyd song ever recorded.
