Thank you, Lee. Looking back at 2024 and all that Lee has shared, taught, and shown us, I know I and many others will be forever grateful for your love, kindness, and passion for music and mankind. You've taken us to places we've never heard of or always wanted to see. All while spending your limited personal time on the road...well done, Lee, we cannot thank you enough. I pass on to others what you have shared with us and wish you, Maureen, and the dogs a wonderful 2025! Rob
I couldn't have said it better Rob!! I love this family Lee has created. Wishing all a New Year of love, peace, kindness & much more excellent music!!!! Oh, and more educational stories and videos from Lee!! ❤☮🎵🎶
I appreciate you allowing us to get to know you your Wife Maureen and of course your dogs. May your Family have a Safe New Year’s! And… 2025 be a peaceful year I can hope 🩵🩵🩵💙💙💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙
Mr. Lee. You take us to the best places. Places l would never see. Thank you. Wishing you, Maureen and all your followers a Happy, safe and peaceful New Year.❤️❤️🙏☮️
So happy for you and all your community for having something that brings so many of you together. This is what builds communities and keeps the generations passing the love and warmth down to one another. Hope you don't ever lose it. Thanks lee.
Leland showed and taught me more about the Rose Parade in two days than I have in my whole life lol. So cool to see the 'behind the scenes' stuff. I was wondering during the walk around yesterday where all the parade floats were and how that all worked. I'm guessing there are a lot of organizers and crew that get very little sleep during this couple of weeks. A logistical challenge to say the least.
my heart melted away when lee discovered the button accordion on the louisiana float. 🪗❤🪗 that's the real deal for playing cajun and zydeco - important pillars of american music tradition. thanks for sharing this vid, lee. now i got a glimpse of what is going on in your hood these days. amazing.😯
Thanks Leland for sharing and taking us on the road with you. Growing up in Southern California I recall the radio news stations broadcasting updates on the parade all night long. New Years day was always kind of magical to me.
It’s a wonderful tradition! Just staggering the amount of planning, work and people hours that make this happen every year. The way in which these are decorated with all the fresh flowers within hours of the parade. For one day it’s truly the greatest show on earth! Go Ducks!!!
After yesterdays “insider’s parade route view” video, I ended up searching YT for other videos on the preparation for the parade and then enjoyed the local TV stations showcasing the general shenanigans that seemingly takes place as fans jockey for their “up front and personal” spaces!
Street dogs are a must on New Year’s Day. I’ll be working over by Victory Park tomorrow, assisting the bands once they finish marching. Hopefully there will be some vendors over there. Thank you for highlighting all the work the float builders and volunteers have been doing. We appreciate it.
Heres to your heart , health and wealth and happiness..Happy New Year to you and Maureen and the backyard boys ! Stay safe 🙏 Leland Sklar ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 and warm..here's to 2025..Cheers !
🙏 i would have gone completely nuts ages ago , otherwise.. and this is why i love the internet 👉🤎 how great it is to see you here ☝️ you are a huge inspiration 🙏
Right now from Spain, lots of health, prosperity and abundance for you and your family. Thank you for so much wonderful music and many more years of health and prosperity.
I think so too. 😊 I tried to let family know. This is better than the TV announcer. Happy New Year! The firecrackers have slacked off a little. I think. I did one circle around the neighborhood trying to sus out which bins were having any space since Christmas. Gave my own small patio float of sorts, a big drink of water. 😊
"Every inch of every float must be covered with flowers or other natural materials, such as leaves, seeds or bark". This is a Rose Parade rule I learned in the 80's, when I volunteered with people in my law firm to help build floats. It's a great excuse for a party, though you have to dress warmly. Floats are assembled in a warehouse, and it's kept cold to keep the flowers fresh. The truly astonishing thing about the Rose Parade is that it doesn't rain. Statistically, there should be some real downpours, but it just doesn't seem to happen! I always loved going on January 2nd to look at the floats up close. No waiting in the cold (yes, it gets cold in Pasadena overnight) and you can take as much time as you wanted appreciating the detail. Of course, you don't get to see the live stuff that was going on as the float went by both. Bottom line, both ways to view floats are good, and I'm glad I had the float building experience, too. Watching on television is also fine!
Happy New Year 😊, long time since I got to help build a float. It was one of our High School Homecoming times. Sophomore year. Not anything like the Rose Bowl. Fun though. I was a little nervous about the two monkeys with the Shriners and all the little cars and toppling fezzes. Two of the Shriners were in charge of wrangling the small monkeys. They must've kept them at each of their homes. Things went better than I would've expected.
@splashesin8 Quite a story. Did you know who The Monkees belonged to? (Note: I use voice typing, and my program assumed I meant The Monkees, not a pair of small primates. My focus on music has trained my voice typing.... it even got the capital T in The Monkees! 🤣) My uncle was a Shriner with a fez hat. They had a band called The Pinheads. No monkeys, though. This was in Illinois.
@@RockandRollWoman :) I didn't know these particular Shriners personally, I was just right behind them, and they were bringing up the end of the rest of the little cars in the parade. I ended up being a candy throwing clown, which surprises me now that there weren't any ordinances pertaining to what and how that should be done. It was sort of like backwards trick or treating. I was just careful to not, potentially injure anyone. I was relieved to be out of candy at one point so could then run up ahead and interact with the rest of the floats I hadn't seen. I'm not even sure which group or club rode on the float I helped build. I do remember that the typing teacher was in charge of that one, and had gotten us to sign on for it. This was the second time I did the clown thing. I didn't know that was going to happen till maybe half an hour before hand either. Was recruited by the teachers with the grease paint. I would be in trouble if I trusted my phone to decipher anything close to what I said.🤣
Thank you Lee for caring enough to share your work and things that go on around you!! I always look forward to watching your channel!! Happiest of new year to you and Maureen!!
The creativity blows me away . The attention to detail, wow . Thank you , Leland , for bringing us along . Love and Happy New Year to you, Maureen and the pups .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your continued presence, for taking us behind the scenes at times, and for telling tales of all the great music you've helped to create that has formed and continues to form our musical landscape. With one word I presume to speak for all of us regarding your casts - grateful! Happy New Year Leland!
Thank you Lee for sharing another one of your amazing years with us all and including us in so much. You have given so much time and helped bring healing and encouragement to enjoy life. Happy New Year to you and Maureen and the knuckleheads and also to one and all. May we all thrive in 2025 and give peace a chance.🙏🙏
@@m1nn1sHi Andy and Happy New Year. Saw the weather warnings in England so keep an eye on that weather. It’s late breakfast time here in 2025 and it feels like a new year.🎆🎆🇦🇺👍🙏🙏
@@splashesin8 Happy New Year Audrey and l hope you are well. Here in Australia where I live we are getting extremely hot weather and with it comes great risks of bushfires. Our summer is incredibly unpredictable just like weather across the globe and high temperatures here are getting more difficult but we press on through. 🙏🙏🙏

Just so informative and fascinating, I felt like I was walking next to you - although I'm shorter than you of course - but this is the closest I will ever get to seeing something like that up close. Thankful you shared these!
Lee- thank you so much for your informative and enjoyable posts throughout the year....... the last 2 days' posts brought back many good memories....... I played solo & group at the Nightwatch for years, through the 70's until they closed in the 80's.... I played many New Years Eve gigs there, as well as Shaker Mountain Inn and Sawmill and our ritual was to drive the parade route on the 30th/31st, see all the folks camping out for the parade, go see the floats being prepped, then go to the Nightwatch/elsewhere for the gig......... mucho fun---- thanks for bringing it all back to the front burner of consciousness :) Have a safe/happy NYE..............
Thank you for being here for everyone, Leland. As I said in my earlier comment, we all need to do what we can to shape 2025 as a year to remember fondly. We as a nation and a species cannot permit the potential of what could go wrong to stop us from making it right. When you had the camera trained on the ABC Van, what came to mind for me was this late 80s ad (one that I was conveniently thinking of already) that ran here in New York tri-state area. It included a selection of 8-millimeter-style film clips, and a recurring line that was repeated by a bunch of people in unison at the end of the commercial was “There’s that news van again!”
Happy New Year everyone! Happy New Year, Leland and Maureen and pups! Meeting you and shaking your hand was one of the highlights of 2024! Peace everyone….🎉
The Rose Palace at 855 S. Raymond is another place where the floats are built. For a short time in the late 60's, they held concerts there. Led Zeppelin and the Grateful Dead were some of the acts who played in Pasadena.
@@KittyCarlile-490 The ending of The Twelve Days of Christmas of Epiphany also known as when Three Wise Men, Three Kings, and Three Magi who visited baby Jesus. It has been recorded on January 5th or 6th depending on who may be counting. I have counted it as January sixth and the birth celebration of someone I have known and makes it an even more special day. Troubled times even keeps a heart beating.
Love the tour Lee. It always amazes me when you do these walk arounds wherever you are that you aren't recognized more often. I would certainly stop with whomever I was with and make sure that they knew who you were and how often that they had heard you over the years. Probably wouldn't bother you but just to say hello.
I'll be watching the New Years festivities from home 🏡. Won't be venturing out with the crazies. Once again they'll be lighting up the Space Needle. Happy 2025 everyone. ❤😊
Thank you so much for all the content onyour channel. It's so kind of you to let us take a little peek at your amazing life. Happy New Year to you,your wife,and all those dear to you.
This was such a cool spectacle to see! Gotta wonder dept: how do they get the flower petals to stay on once they’ve been applied to the float framework? Kinda guess they spray paint a type of coating to the finished float, so that it doesn’t “self destruct” when moving it to the parade staging area and through the route?
Have a great 2025 Lee! Thanks for all your videos and your superb bass playing. I try to learn something from your playing every time. Of you get a chance to provide lessons for Scott please do so! Blessings to Maureen
An eventful year with my favorite documentary, tours, cruises, bandmate interviews, venue explorations, Brad surprises, new puppy, Clubhouse hangs, music, music, music, Maureen's healing, and soft serve ice cream. You're so good to us with your time, and if we're good for you, well, what could be better? Love, Thanks, and Happy New Year ❤👍❤👍
I had a florist shop years ago and I'm gobsmacked at the time & effort that has gone into this !! Thankyou Leland for all your videos from the last year, may we share many more with you. God bless you, Maureen & dogs abundantly throughout 2025. 🎉🙏
Lee, Love your stewardship of your admirers, you are Jimmy Carter in style. Bless you and family in 2025. I still cherish meeting you years ago at the LAX.
Happy New Year Leland. These last two video did remind me of your building exploration videos from when you were on tour. I was expecting you to find a secret underground tunnel for the Rose Bowl Parade.
Happy New Year Lee! When you get back on the road, I’ll be looking forward to your next where is Brad episode. Guitarists, pianists and bass players are so lucky that we can use modelers with headphones for practice, but it must be horrible for horn players, unless you have some cool neighbors.
Thank you for opening my brain back up to this special event. I haven't watched a Rose Parade in probably 4 decades or more. I enjoyed both your pre-parade walk-thru as well as this current one and even tuned into NBC to watch portions of today's big event. There's power in what you do. Thank you and Happy New Year 🎉🥳
I loved the sneak peek of the floats - it brings back a lot of good memories. Thank you, Leland. There's nothing like seeing them in person and smelling all of those flowers, is there?? Enjoy and happy new year!
Leland, how many notes have you played in your life? It is valued and your impact through music and how you are as a person is deeply appreciated. Best wishes for 2025!!
So fun, Leland! So enjoying this behind-the-scenes tour! Thank you so much, and Happy New Year to you, Maureen, and the Knuckleheads! Rock on, and thank you for continuing to share your music and kindness with us all! ☺️

Lee, Love your stewardship of your admirers, you are Jimmy Carter in style. Bless you and family in 2025. I still cherish meeting you years ago at the LAX.
Happy New Year Leland. These last two video did remind me of your building exploration videos from when you were on tour. I was expecting you to find a secret underground tunnel for the Rose Bowl Parade.
Wow I thought they were real cars on the Honda float until you zoomed in. Great video Lee. Thanks..Happy New Year..
Thanks for showing the Louisiana float!
lee, thanks for your friendship!
You’re just the greatest guy above all else!
Happy New Year Lee! When you get back on the road, I’ll be looking forward to your next where is Brad episode. Guitarists, pianists and bass players are so lucky that we can use modelers with headphones for practice, but it must be horrible for horn players, unless you have some cool neighbors.
Happy new year's leland. To you and maureen. May this year be a little better. Nice neighborhood.
Those floats are amazing. Happy New Year!
Leland! Thanks for everything! Here's to a Happy, Healthy and Wonderful New Year!
The detail.. the countless hours placing each flower by hand is unfathomable. Thank you for taking us with you… ❤
Seeing B.B. atop the Visit Mississippi float brought a tear. What an incredible likeness. How fitting for the King of the Blues. 🌹
The “Ducks” vs “Buckeye’s”(Nuts) in the the Game. Happy New Year!
Thank you for opening my brain back up to this special event. I haven't watched a Rose Parade in probably 4 decades or more. I enjoyed both your pre-parade walk-thru as well as this current one and even tuned into NBC to watch portions of today's big event. There's power in what you do. Thank you and Happy New Year 🎉🥳
I loved the sneak peek of the floats - it brings back a lot of good memories. Thank you, Leland. There's nothing like seeing them in person and smelling all of those flowers, is there?? Enjoy and happy new year!
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
