Love the Spanish music…. Goes well with a light dusting of rain….so needed…😊A very good morning and day to all❤️Blessings! 🌹🪷🌹🪷🥰❤️🎶🖕🖕🖕🖕👍🪬

Yay Maureen is at flower arranging class💕💕😊

The first song is "Only you", which was a hit in the UK in 1982 for Vince Clarke (the composer) and Allison Moyet as the duo Yazoo (Yaz in North America). An a capella version of the song was also a hit for The Flying Pickets.

Greetings Mr S from a Sklarite in London, UK. A band called The Flying Pickets had a hit with this song (Only You) in 1983. But they in turn were covering a song by a band called Yazoo. Their singer was Alison Moyet. Go Leland!

So glad to hear that Maureen is out and about! 🌹🌹🌹

3:38 Gregg Bissonette is a fine drummer. He has been with Ringo for several years, played on a Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Band album, and has played with the magnificent classical artist, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli! Gregg does it all!

I've watched quite a few videos with him. Very interesting artist

Always good to hear from you again, good sir. I’m a 72 year old novice bassist, and you have been a real inspiration to me. I am not happy that I live too far away to make any of your events. Your body of work is amazing.

Evening Lee and all Greetings from Epping Uk Cheers Barry 🎸

Hope you get a good turn out. Really glad that Maureen is doing better and is able to enjoy some new activities. Looking forward to this week's Clubhouse hang!! Take care my friend! Bob Love

Hope you had a terrific bday this past week - I love watching you enjoy music and really experience it in the moment. You are an amazing human being.

👋👋 Great that you two have been able to make good use of such a great resource! Most of the rest of us were lucky to see it on a HS field trip! Was not able to Google the musicians for "With You I'm Born Again," but I did learn that if you type in "With y" it pops up: pretty impressive.

Here from Brazil; Good evening Leland Sklar, good Saturday to you. Gregg Bissonette; excellent drummer; great musician. very good with the DLR band

Hi,dear Leland. Today Sue and I watched James Taylor and Carole Kings older concert. There you are with your quiet presence. The best music ever! Good for Maureen. You go girl!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This was great. I'm originally from a very large farm, and gardening is fun. I wonder if Leland played any upright, acoustic bass on any sessions. I wish Maureen all the best. Cheers, Leland! 🙏✌️

His voice is like butter❤

Thanks Mr. Brooks

Billy Preston always got much praise by those he worked

You weren't lying about the Hunington Library ! That area was my mine when I worked for Kodak.. I'd lunch over there at least 2 days a week and always enjoyed my time there. Anyone and everyone would enjoy their time

Gregg Bissonette is so underrated. Loved him with the DLR Band!!!

Perfect. Thank you.❤❤🙏

Beautiful music. Thank you for sharing this, Leland.

The original track on which Enrique's first song is based on the British 80's synth pop duo Yazoo's hit. Superb transformation Lee.

1st song is, Only you, by Yazoo, 1982.

One part of this first one made me think it might just suddenly go into the song, Swing Town. :) I'm hoping you got a good drink before heading back out to the yard. Maybe some hammock time. 💖

Thank you for today 😊

You guys coming to the Boston area this year to your knowledge?

Leland......Always interesting.................Ralph Onofrio

Are you driving to Palm Springs? Guess it's not far enough to warrant flying. I've gotten a few speeding tickets on that drive. Cost me a lot too

Thanks, Leland.

Glad Maureen is step ing out Leland good luck on your outing tomorrow as always peace out cincy storm a comin been raining alot here out

I get it. My uncle is trying to talk me out of getting a reel mower.

Hey Mr Skylar, didn’t want to ask waddy this because he would brow beat me, but I’m curious did you guys use a click track in the 70”s and 80’s ? I know when I was recording in the 90’s it was hit or miss

From an interview in 1961, Ihe great drummer, Joe Morello, said, "Usually, bass players and drummers never agree...It's funny, a bass player always wants to lead the band, they want to be a band leader and they feel like, here's the time and the drummer says no, here's the time. I can't follow a bass player, I never have, don't intend to." I don't get that situation from watching you play on gigs. Your thoughts, s'il vous plait

Nice! 👍🏼 10:13

Always counting on you to show us how to land on one. Do you know where I could get a Leland Sklar bobble head?

Enrique Iglesias is certainly an expressive singer although Vivir is a strange name for this album because it translates as Live and from its sound and your description it is anything but!

Glad to hear the dear missus Maureen is up and about Mr. Sklar heres hoping the curse has ended. Enrique is a beauty for sure. Hero is an Epic song of his its #49 in my top 100 of all time. Then you casually drop you played for Julio one of the most sold Artists of all time. WOW. Why am I not surprised lol. Enrique can sing in a language you dont understand but his emotions tell you what its about. Its hard to put into words but the feeling he gives is so strong the words dont matter really. Its in love or out of love and he does it so well. Speaking of Pasadena John Paul Young recorded "Pasadena" written by David Hemmings Harry Vanda and George Young and Bass by Ronnie Peel worth a listen if you get a chance. A sweet almost melancholic song with a nice subtle Bass thoughout. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pKyOr8Npqca1eLA.html

Lee have a good time in Palm Springs. I know that you and Denny are both aware that we are still waiting for a peep at the film in Europe and around the world. Hopefully Denny is making progress with this.
