      Well that’s gorgeous.
      Mona Rae is my most favouritest tune. Your parents must have adored it to name you so.

      Howdy Mr. Kottke. Your biggest fan here!
      Just caught your show here in Albuquerque on 11/16/22. It was back in 1972 when I saw you the first time here. (50years) I hope that doesn't make you feel old.😄 Your music makes me feel young! Cheers!🎶🎸

      What a great name, as well as a beautifully crafted song. I’m a bassist whose seen Leo every time (usually every year) for over 30 years and in a duo with the same finger style guitarists in the same vein as Hot Tuna and Leo with Phish bassist Mike Gordon. Great stuff and a great story! 🙏🏾

    Leo's disposition while playing a challenging tune like Mona Ray is a sight to see....as he once said, "you have to be alert yet relaxed up there". What a master.

    Been a fan and student of Kottke since I first heard "Vaseline machine gun" in a record store. Love that armadillo album🤗👍👏

    One of the best guitarists of all time. It always seems so effortless for him.

  • @marcheritier4

    First came across him in '74. Blew me away. I almost gave up playing there and then. Genius.

    • @mikelord9860
      @mikelord9860 8 років тому +1

      Now for me, it was virtually the opposite - Leo's playing (and his associated colleagues) gave me the impetus to NOT give up!

    Dreamlike and mesmerizing. I like it even better than the original, which is the first Kottke I ever heard. Hanging out at a record store one night and Mona Ray started playing over the store sound system. I was instantly transfixed. Went straight to the counter and asked who it was. Walked out with Dreams and All That Stuff and it didn't leave my turntable for the next couple of months. I'm an avid guitarist but can honestly say I have an almost paralyzing inability to pull off any of Leo's material. To be able to play something close to this lovely, relaxed version of Mona Ray would allow me to die happy.

    Leo Kottke and his Producer gave me a ticket to a show, on coming home from the military, in a sold out venue. It was one of the few things I looked forward to coming back from overseas. Love this guy, he is one of my heroes.

    Leo Kottke has that ability to create beautiful music you can step right in and really
    start living inside - like living inside a room.
    One of my favourite "rooms" is an instrumental piece from one of his best albums :
    The tune "Orange Room" from his album "Burnt Lips" !

    One of my favorites from Kottke from the excellent "Dreams and All That Stuff" album. Thank you to my older brother for bringing me to my first Leo Kottke concert around age 15-have been a fan ever since.

    • @olensoifer9901
      @olensoifer9901 5 років тому +1

      Well, it is about 50 years since I discovered Leo! Here is a challenge for you, if you are a guitarist yourself, and think, "How could anyone possibly play like Leo?" First of all, realize that Leo himself was quite young when he achieved fame. Plus, I believe his first instrument was the trombone, NOT the guitar! Finally, look up the UWM (University of Wisconsin, Madison) Guitar program on UA-cam...and you will find a number of brilliant students who do great credit to Leo's style of playing. And...enjoy your musical journey!

    • @DjNikGnashers
      @DjNikGnashers 5 років тому +1

    One of our favorites. And I play it on either my 6 or 12 strings. I agree wholeheartedly with Stewart. You are lovely. And have Very Cool parents. Wish I were 40 yrs younger. Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I'm younger than that now. God Bless.

      Natale Rizzo have to disagree. The 6 string version is so much more pure and clean. The clang of a 12 string doesnt fit on this lovely tune
