"My singing teeth arrived...."
I'M DYIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT'S a great story, along with understanding that Merle Haggard had a studio in Redding, Calif., just 2 1/2 hours from me in Oregon.

Thanks for the kind mention Lee. Some of my greatest memories are the fun records with you and the rest of those great players. So nice to hear some of the history we lived. Love spending time with you here and there. Peace.
So great listening for the second and third time.... Love it all... plus the song LOL
If you're gonna wear a hat it really should be a wizard's hat.
I kinda like the horns....
King George. An all-time great.
The wide scope of recordings you've played on astounds me! You have such a diverse body of work!
Sei fantastico il mio bassista preferito ❤️🎹🎻
Oh the memories of growing up in Alabama. Country music gets a really bad rap. The Nashville musicians are top notch.
Jesus Lee..You should have read the names you didn't play with..You would have been done in 8 seconds..As always, thanks for brightening my day..
😂😂😂
Took the words right out of my brain.
Omg busy busy busy. Lee has lived a thousand lifetimes. Awesome historic ones. Thanks for sharing
no kidding, you need at least 2 roombas to pick up those names.
my words exactly a few comments on Lee´s videos prior to this ;-)
thanks Leland... I wish more people would do this. what a life. from a guitar player at 73 learning bass. america is in big trouble.
In my opinion, country music is where strongest melodies are these days. I don’t listen to much country music but what I hear that is my impression. Give a country a strong hook and it’s hard to not to appreciate.
Lee, I live In Pa. and in 1996 Skoal gave away tickets if you sent in a coupon. We went down to Forks of the River Tenn, for the Rock the Smokies on July 6th 1996. The bands: Marty Stuart, Travis Tritt, 38 Special, Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels Band, and Hank Jr was last. Jr was also drunk off his azz. Beautiful place for a concert, as it was on the hillside of a old farm.Behind the stage was a railroad and behind that by about 100 yards was the river. When they started the concert they played the National Anthem and released a bald eagle. Half way through the concert a train came thru, nice and slow. It was real cool. I also met Harry Gant at this concert and got to talk to him for 15 to 20 minutes. That was REALLY really COOL. Lee, I got a good chuckle out of Merle's teeth and Merle, Willie and Kris flipping ya off. Take care and thanks for sharing.
Merle had chops, but he had to make sure he had the right chops. Great story. Thanks.
you're absolutely right about that Al.
if you wanted to be one of the strangers you better know your shit and you better not screw it up or you'd be fired.
Merle was a lot like the late great Blues Man Albert King if you play Dan Albert's band you better play..
one-time Albert got so mad that the drummer was not keeping time at all and kept screwing up consistently he stopped the show and fired him.
Albert was a very cantankerous person but a fantastic bluesman the funniest part about it that was in the middle of the show Albert's yelling back at the drummer and yelling back at the drummer and finally he just stops and says just take your goddamn sticks and get out of here 🤣🤣
I love the added comments that you’d never hear ....
Thank you for the many history lessons!
I Love it!!!
Love George Strait!
Lee, you might be the best story teller in history
Country is where I first heard your playing. I kept seeing your name in the credits and thought, "Wow this Leland Sklar must be really good to be on all these albums." From there I did my research and discovered yes he is that good.
Lee's on some of my favorite stuff from Vince Gill to my man Clint Black
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Ocean Front Property was the first album I ever owned. I still have the cassette.
@@LinkRocks I might have that King George cassette but I don't think it plays anymore though.. but pretty much from straight from the Heart up to about The Road less traveled I replaced most cassettes with CDs..
Thank you Leland !
It just keeps getting better and better.
What a true Legend and gent you are.
Wow Anthony Newly "What kind of fool am I" Mr Straight is in my mind top 5 of all time Country genre !
Gratitude from Sao Paulo Brazil
Best quote of the day "my singing teeth". ROTFL
I was married for awhile to a girl who's last name was Burnett, with a very large family. After we split, I used to sing this song, but changed it to 'All My Exes Are Burnettses'.
Great stories!! Love and respect from Piraeus, Greece
I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying these “history” lessons! I’ll need to go back and binge watch all the rest from the beginning! Gracias👍✌️😊🙏🏼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Leland Sklar Memorial Ward.... Now that's FUNNY! This is one of the MANY reasons why I love your updates Lee.... we don't know what story or song you'll have next and wait in anticipation. Thank you for putting this HUGE smile on my face in a world of turmoil.
That list!!
One of my favorite country songs.Thanks.
All My Ex's--- Released April 10, 1987. I have swam in the Rio Frio river several times in the 80's.
Great tales about Nashville. I love those GooGoos too! Thanks for your stories.
“I put together a list of artists that I worked with in the country field. Let’s see if any names on here ring a bell for you.” What follows is the freaking Country Hall of Fame! Jesus! What an incredible Nashville career you’ve had, Lee, besides your LA and touring career! Hats off to you!
When I was a young musician, I was too much of a music snob to listen to country music. Now I am in my 50s and have discovered that music is music. The notes are the same, just in a different order. Thanks for helping to open my eyes, Leland Sklar.
just simply amazing !!!!
These posts really help the mood of the time. Thank you. It was a pleasure meeting you and speaking with you at Allie's memorial service. When I was with Sha Na Na, I got a photo of me and Jerry Lee giving the camera the finger.
Talk about a range of music. Enjoying it all. You may not be a hat guy, but not a bad look there. Thanks again for all the stories.
In watching the video and hearing about spilled coke, dog poop, and a recording session; Sounds like a country song to me.
Wow long list indeed......!!!!.... thanks for the stories.....interesting and fun to start my day in a good mood
Love the channel! Keep ‘em coming.
I know about those singin' teeth! Be thankful for what you have.
These videos are such a blessing. Thanks for the stories, sir.

One of my favorite Strait songs! Love your stories! I’m playing along.

Man you're making my staying home absolutely wonderful I just can't get enough of your stories and your playing thank you so much
It is a treat to listen to these stories and the people you have recorded with, thank you for spending some of your time on this channel and sharing it with us.
Dude, nice to see you and thanks for the stories. You’ve mellowed me out on an otherwise edgy day.
Man, it would have been shorter if you'd listed who you HAVEN'T worked with!! It was like you were rhyming off my entire career as a Country radio announcer in the 80's and 90's. Thanks for another wonderful trip down memory lane. Keep the stories coming. You have a gift.
Oooh, oooh! Goo-Goo Clusters!
Oh how I miss hiring you to play on records here in Nashville. Some wonderful memories. As always, love hearing your stories. xxoo
Great stories! Thanks so much, Leland. You make my day. Happy belated birthday !
That list is a list of some of my favorite artists in Country. Mary Chapin has done 21 videos during this Home time. Thank you much for this! Astounding.
Stay Mighty
Sierra Ferrell is pretty cool. ua-cam.com/video/MDvEPpdI6Bk/v-deo.html

Thanks Leland so much for making and sharing these videos and letting us in on the inside of music.
Thanks Leland for sharing the songs and the stories.
Leland, thank you so much for these posts. It is such a pleasure getting know you through these videos. It has always been a pleasure seeing you play. You are a beautiful ray of sunshine in these dark days. Wolfgang seriously kicks ass btw and I would love to hear more. Thanks again and god bless.
I think I could listen to you recount your stories forever! Add in watching you play these songs as if I was sitting right in front of you blows my mind every f'ing time! Cheese and rice! Thank you for everything you do Lee Sklar! By the way, I will buy your book just for that one photo you mentioned here.
Your stories make my day, i am continuously surprised and impressed!!!!
Thanks for playing for us, it's always a treat, and the stories are great.
All my favorite artists 🙌🏼🤙🏼❤️
Thank you for brightening my day. I stumbled onto this channel and have totally enjoyed it. Thanks again, sir.
Mr S continues his Passadena Express, cruising along stopping at all stops, rock, country, jazz fusion, pop "cats" & dogs etc.
What a bearded raconteur! Riveting. Just riveting and so "down home".
Leland. You're a class act.
A UK fan.
John Pegg He lives in Pasadena, CA?
Thanks for the video, Leland!!! You are awesome!
Love your videos man, I so look forward to them. Hearing you play your bass and the wonderful stories that go along with the music is a gift to You Tube.
Love hearing your stories....really enjoying your channel! You my friend.....are a really cool dude!
Leland, thanks for your humility & down to earth approach to life. It makes the stories so much fun to hear. You’re a national treasure!
Awesome! Thanks for video.
You're such a goddamn name-dropper Leland! (I'm so envious; what a tremendous career you've had and still having...) Long may you play and continue to be 'the burr under the saddle'. Kind regards as always, Chris.
Ocean Front Property and All My Ex's were among the very first songs I tried to learn when I got my first bass at 13. Spent hours listening to those songs trying to hit every note along with the (unknown then) bass player; a great learning experience for a new player... Discovering you through your other works years later and now seeing this video really feels like coming full circle. Thanks for the memories and keep up these awesome videos!
God I love the story about that small room. That is incredible. Your room. Cool
With as many sessions as you have played and the songs you have memorized, I’m constantly amazed how you can pull those cool riffs off all these years later...that was just one song off of who knows how many albums with who knows how many artists...truly incredible...
We have worked with many of the same people in Nashville you've been naming. I've photographed many album covers and artists over 42 years.
yes you have.
did you come from the old school of Henry diltz and Jim Marshall?
of course Annie Leibovitz no matter who she photographs I have nothing but respect for her she just can bring out the artist in one photo
Thanks for the smiles in this troubled time.
"Leland Sklar Memorial Ward"! This is something I have to see for myself if it still exists. Leland, you truly have some lovely stories to tell. Love from Norway.
Leland is priceless. Just wonderful stories he shares.
I always loved that track , All my Exes Live In Texas!!!
I started playing rock with my first band and was asked to play country later. I learn a lot, as far as precision and playing clean. Now country is more like disco rock.
Tom Petty (R.I.P.) called modern country - Bad 70’s Rock! 😂
Garth Brooks made country world famous, Kenny Chesney turned it into blue light special classic rock.

Shadraq Abednigo I give that credit to Toby Keith, not Kenny Chesney
As Always, so interesting.Thanks Lee.
Smooth and simplicity. every video a masterclass! Thank you for all of this Mrs Leland! Down here in Brazil we musicians love and appreciate your amazing work!
Love your stories, such an honor getting a plaque on the door of your memorial closet Lol!
King George. Great album. Love the stories.
So good, been playing that song wrong for so very long, enjoying your content! That’s a mighty impressive list there cowboy!
The burr under the saddle LOL
I loved the Lowes Vanderbilt story Lee! That would be my perfect room also. I didn’t realize you were a hat act!
Best wishes,
Peter Collins
These stories are priceless Lee. I draw inspiration from your example at every chance I can from “doing what’s right for the song” to being an everyday descent human being. Many thanks again for taking the time out to share.
Lee can play anything! A joy to watch.
Every single one you mentioned I think the music is great! Ironically growing up my parents forced me to listen to old country. Growing up (teen years) I kinda rebelled and listened to everything else but country so many great players in the 80s TOTO was one of my FAVS but ya later on expanding into all genres of music and recording woke me up to the great players of those times and Vince Gill is an amazing amazing amazing guitar player! I saw a Christmas special with him, Eddie Van Halen and Chet Adkins and I think he basically blew my socks off. I wish I could find that tape... I don't see it anywhere on UA-cam amazingly... But ya thanks for the share! Love your stories. This is the best channel on UA-cam. All positive vibes!😁🔥
My mom would have loved that Merle Haggard story...thanks Leland...peace
I love your playing and the stories also. I didn’t know you did so much country sessions.
That was awesome Leland!!! Thank you.
Quite the list! I'm constantly amazed by the quantity and quality of the people you worked with. Love the songs and the stories! Thanks for sharing!
You are sooo smoooth!! Another lesson--Thank you!
Hi Leland!
Great to see/hear you!
Growing up in Southern California, we watched The Grand Ole Opry, Cal's Corral, Spade Cooley, and so many others. Most of the names you mentioned are a part of either my album or CD collection. Love this one with George! 🧡
Another voyage of discovery, to places we would never go...thank you!
Hey Leland, just want to say what a pleasure it is to hear stories of your wonderful life in the music world, i cant wait to see the next episode each time you post a video. Keep on keeping on Mr Sklar! From New Zealand!
Thank you Mr. Sklar for all of the contributions that you have made in all musical genres. You’ve been a major influence on my playing and can’t thank you enough for the guidance you’ve shared through music. Blessings and safe travels!
Bravo et merci Leland ! 👏👏
