I’m sure the whole community is breathing a sigh of relief with Maureen’s health news updates 👍👍😁
The one sigh of relief that counts is Maureen’s, and hopefully this will help it. ☘
You know when you see Leland holding a Bass and a tune from James Taylor, you know it's going to be a good day. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.
Good news for Maureen…the gopher….goose mom and babies… 🎉…thanks for another great playalong Leland…😊
❤animal lovers rule. One of my all time faves by j.t.
My favorite JT LP since 1975. Thanks !!!
Agree 100%.....Great one!
Absolutely! I still have the LP. ❤
God bless you for helping the geese!!!!
Outstanding...can still hear my mom spinning this in the house while we kids played in the backyard in the mid-70s. Our folks were all young once, too...
Great news about Maureen… what a relief… I can’t imagine what she’s been through, but hopefully back to 100% in a few more months… you are a special person Lee… love these videos… also hope your truck is going to survive a few more years for you 👍👍👍👍👍
It's breath taking on how much back up vocal work Nash and Crosby did. A crazy experience still for me when they ended up standing right behind me standing in line for a movie. I swear that David's iconic mustache was tickling my neck!
Great story about the mama goose and her goslings….yes, it is amazing how wrapped up in their own crap some people get so that it’s all about them and any slight inconvenience is just insupportable and beyond the pale for them. Jerks. Great play-along!
We live near a golf course near the Oakland Hills and we have wild Turkeys and their off spring at times walk down streets and even cross four lane traffic. Humans tend to worry more about it than the Turkeys. I have been here since '78 and in all the road kill seen not one has been a Turkey. It is a given, to many jerks abound☘
My all time favorite James Taylor tune. PERFECT end to my day, Leland.
One of my favorite albums of all time. I was a H.S. Senior in 1975. This brings back such great memories.
The goose family surely appreciated your kindness. Good news all around regarding Maureen, Romeo! Continued healthy healing for Maureen!❤
Still one of my favorites.
Thanks for a great Clubhouse hang this evening/afternoon, Lee! It's always such a blast listening & learning from one another! ❤🥰
This is awesome! Love JT's, Mexico & what a great bunch of singers & musicians! All of you! 🎸🎶 I just love listening to you & watching you pluck those bass strings. 🎸✌️🎶🥰
Glad Maureen is doing well, I know not 100%, but better. 🙏
Sending my love to you, all & the pups!
Love you SO much!

Hi Lee,
Absolutely wonderful news about Maureen. I'm so so delighted!!
As usual, much respect to you as always for your love and concern for our furry and feathered brethren. That would have been a sight to behold for sure. I've never seen a gopher but would love to.
It's great the the little dude is settling well. Im sure he has got his feet, or should i say paws, well and truly under the table.
Sending my very best to you and Maureen and the boys.
Hugs and best wishes
☘️❤️☘️
Good on you for helping the geese family.
Hey there, Lee and all! Dang! You are beset with critters! I had a similar experience a few days ago with a gosling (the bird, not the actor) who wandered into the street. I managed to scoop the little critter into my car's cargo net and got as close as I could to the parents without getting attacked. The family was reunited in the end.
Hey, Winston 💖 🤗
Great news for your home life, Lee! Thanks for saving other members of the animal kingdom!
Oh - and thanks for JT! We all love this song, and your bass. So cool - “his body's still shakin' like a live wire” and “don’t wanna talk on the phone”.
This song never fails to bring a smile to my face. It’s hilarious and James sounds like he’s having fun singing it! 😊
Just listened to that on the way home from work.
Good for Maureen!! Love your stories on those little critters and JT music❤
So glad everything is looking up Lee. Wonderful, heart felt playing on the JT classic as usual. So, So Good. Thanks so much!!
I didn't think I could appreciate you more, but this goose & goslings story pushed it up another notch.
I'm thrilled to hear Maureen's back is considered a total recovery! Amazing. 🙂 I'm glad he assessed Maureen's shoulder too & is satisfied it's 'tentatively' on the mend. No surgery.
We are granted small mercies, eh?
Thanks for the trip down memory lane with Mexico. I've learned so much since joining your video odyssey in 2020. Covid did some terrible things. But inspiring you to do this is one of the great things to come from that dark period.
♬🎶😎👍
Such a great song! Thanks, Leland, for this nice break in my day! Cheers!
Wow, really encouraging news for Maureen. We'll keep praying for healing and life getting back to normal!❤
I love how kind you are in addition to your mad skills on bass. You matter so much to me.
I use to dance with my father in Mexico, named James, when I was 7 years old to this song in 1975. We would go to Isla Danzante, an uninhabited island off of Loreto in the Sea of Cortez. And I've been a bass player for over 40 years. This song is means a lot to me, thank you.
You have a huge heart Lee and it is uplifting to hear great news about Maureen who has been in our thoughts and prayers. The news of the gopher and the geese is touching and those stories are few and far between. Soothing to take time out from everything and take respite enjoying memories with you all. 🖖✌️👌
It is always a pleasure when you share your respite with us ☘
@@artemisXsidecrossIn the health wars brother and had strength to comment today.
@@steven_scattergood
That is good news 👍
Happy May Day or International Workers Day a favorite day in my calendar. The review from Maureen’s medical team is good news, and a helping hand to a mother Goose with siblings just going home is good work done on International Workers Day.
Thank you for playing ‘Mexico’ with your accompaniment it left me with a smile. ☘
Wonderful news! Love James Taylor. Hugs to the family ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi, Carol Corrigan 🇮🇪 🍀, love to all at Cape Cod 🐟 ☮️
👏👏👏🌺❤ This was absolutely wonderful to hear (and see) you playing. Thank you ever so much. This sweet recording is indelibly etched on my heart.
I live near a town where 50 or so geese live in the main street. They decide they are going to cross the road and the traffic just has to wait for them. Admittedly, it's not LA, just a small town, but I love the way everybody accepts that the geese run the show.
Way to save the gopher and the goose and the babies!!! You made my day hearing that story. You have a great heart. Love hearing you play,!Mexico is such a great tune. Thanks for sharing
Yay for Maureen
We took our time and kept just enough distance for her not to feel threatened. They can be tough….
@@lelandsklar6363 When she chased my bud, he was laughing and freaking as she snapped at him. They have a good-sized head... I bet her jaws are formidable... "Bite" marks would be nasty. Yipes
My favorite song from my favorite JT album, played of course by my favorite bass player. Doesn't get much better. Thanks.
So glad about the good news. Sounds like things are getting better. Hope you get back on the road soon. Shouldn't be too long. Glad someone takes the time to save animals. Love JT. Great song by you all. . ty.for the music.
🎉🎊. What great news about the back and shoulder!!!
Another effort that would be a spectacular career in itself. Can't tell you how often my bestie and myself listened to this back in the day!
Leland, you are truly blessed for your concern for animals. You are a good and great man.
Thanks for playing “Mexico!” Thanks for caring for our furry and feathered friends. Best to you and Maureen.
I’m just trying to draw a visual of casually driving down the street then seeing you wrangling gophers and geese out of the corner of my eye…it’d be one of those “did I just see what I thought I saw???” 😄 Glad your wife is on the mend and doing better!
This one made the hair on my arms stand up. It still amazes me I can watch you play these memories for us.
I'm so glad things are beginning to look up for Maureen. Thanks for caring about wildlife the way you do. I just had Jame's playing in the background when I saw your update (Mudslide Slim) Great to hear Mexico today too!
Delightful! Thank you, Leland, for sharing your talents and kind vibes with us! ☺️🎶
I’m delighted!! Especially to hear of Maureen’s progress☺️🙏Really gives one a renewed faith in Doctors… who have that “surgeon “ distinction at the back of their name……HA!! You go Maureen💕😊wonderful news! Just great to hear all is progressing…..The geese are safe….and all is well…..Can’t wait to hear the insurance news…..fingers and toes crossed….. but as things are going… benevolent outcomes abound! Blessings to all… love 🎶Mexico…. Up in Mexico for me down here in Belize….
❤🪷🌹🪷🌹🪷😎🌀👍🖕🖕🖕🖕….. 😂
That song has a turn around that almost shouldn’t work but comes out miraculously harmonious!!!! Thank You As Always!
One of my all time favorite JT songs!😄
It just amazing to me that youcan pick up that thing and your fingers remember exactly where to go like that by just listening
I briefly met you back on the Carol/Taylor tour in Denver; you were on the ramp, getting off a charter plane. One of the most surreal moments of my life. Huge thrill. You snapped a photo of me and I’m in your book !!!🖕🏼 Keep being YOU!
Evening Lee and all

glad I tuned in today I am in Oaxaca, Mexico right now. love this song and LP. Lee, your bass playing is inspired. cheers all.
Right on with walking the goslings and news about Mrs. Sklar...!!!😉👍👍

Love Brother
I was thinking of you when I saw all those tornadoes. Hope you, your family and property are Ok.
@@FranktheCrankNY
😎👍
Thanks Frank...
But WHAT tornadoes...?
Where I live now...have never seen a twister...knock on wood👍👍
Back in Wisconsin, as a kid, there was a tree that I loved to climb when high winds were up.
It was flexible, but strong enough to keep from snapping.
That thing would bend and sway so far...great feeling...!!!😉👍👍
😎✌👍❤🖖
This song can put a smile on your face and make you want to dance around no matter what kind of day you are having... even though the lyrics are a bit sad oddly enough!
Bless you Leland, my bearded brother in bass! I'm glad to hear positive news of Maureen! Just wanted to say thank you for being alive in the same time of this planet as I am. I am truly a lucky man! Rock on brother!
Great news about your wife’s recovery. Very good of you to help the wildlife. I’m a wild animal and you’ve made no effort to save me…maybe someday😎. Thanks for the music, love that song. 🤚pick a finger
Hey lee. Thank you for playing for us. As always a joy to see and hear. Thank you so much for helping those geese to get to the park.
In my neighborhood we also have geese but we also have swans not a lot but a few couples and when those beautiful creatures cross the road it is always funny. They are really slow and with their long necks they can often look over a bonnet of a car and that’s funny. With a look in their eyes of hey, I’m walking here. So you have to be patience with them. You have to love them. ❤️
Good news about Maureen. I’m happy for you.
About joining your clubhouse. My English is pretty good when I’m relax and just typing like right now but if I have to speak it and especially with you. I don’t know if I get a good word out. I’m still in such awe of your playing that I’m massively starstruck when I get to speak to you.
I hope you understand. It is a major threshold for me.
Greetings sir.
Love this JT song. Remember learning it on the guitar many years back.
I always loved this album, thanks for sharing your compassion for animals. Mexico and Lighthouse are a few of my favorites where JT collaborated with David Crosby and Graham Nash.
Love this song! ❤😊
Adore Mexico and every James Taylor song. Loved the gopher story!!!! and now geese. You are such a wonderful human being. So happy for the great news from the doctors.
Sir Lee,
Good afternoon!
Great News on Maureen that is truly amazing. Thank you for taking care of mother goose and family, some people just don’t understand and just have zero patience or even care to help at all. JT music and play along was fantastic. Have a great afternoon and evening! Jack
Love that you exist to co-exist with wildlife. We have a lot of turkeys in Eastern Washington that have the right of way when crossing the street. It’s always interesting to see drivers reactions- for the most part the drivers are very cautious.
Thank you for sharing about your precious Maureen
One of my (many) favorite JT tunes. Thanks, Lee. Fun to watch! 👏👏✌️
Great news Lee! Thanks for watching out for wildlife. Where would we be without it.
One of my most favorite JT tracks. Luv hearing you play your most famous JT songs.
Frankenstein sounds sweet❤
Thanks for playing along with James.
Always the icing on the cake.👍🙏
I've heard this song a tone of times. I didn't realize there was so much going on in the bass line. Thank you for sharing
Good news for Maureen, she is a trooper, and will get some great uplifting news one of these days. You are doing the right thing, Leland, stay home and take care of your household! Love and Peace!
I love how you use those open strings in that groove❤
Great positive news for Maureen particularly and to you of course Lee, best wishes to you both. Glad to have a bit of Mexico from Stringbean, after only having recently play in Melbourne. His show was brilliant and he could even get a gig as a standup comedian as he had the crowd laughing so much, what an evening.
Great news on Maureen. All the best on that.
But the big thing I have to say today is I didn't think I could admire you any more, but two incidents, in a few days, of your fighting to protect wildlife impresses TF outta me. You are a good man, a great husband, and an awesome bass player.
Take care. Be well. - Jstn
This makes me think of my little brother carrying his two giant ducks one under each arm, hand barely able to keep holding on. It was during the trickle down 80's crash. He had just gut wrenchingly let his basset Hooter be adopted into the best possible family situation, we could hope for. It was hard even though we knew they were really good people. ❤
❤😊
Heartbreak has few allies 💔
Hey, Audrey 💖 🤗
So glad to hear of Maureen's progress. Give her some good jokes and make her laugh. It's medicine you can't buy. I stop for wildlife too. Squirrels, geese, turkeys, I slow down for them all. Life is precious. Keep your chin up Lee, your doing everything you need to do. Great job Mr. Bassman, love ya. Doug up in Green Bay, Wi. Planning to see you guys up in Door County, Wi. Take care. Love Frankenstein!!!!
Love it! Turn up the bass! You are who we want to hear. James is the background today.
I'm with you on that about wildlife. Great job Lee! Excellent news about your wife.
On so many of these videos that Lee does, you realize how enormously important his bass line creations were to James' music. Should have got co-writing credit on so many songs. Imagine these songs without the iconic bass lines..?! Wonderful
that right hand.. muscule memoy to the tone/ volume.. Just a touch.
Thanks for sharing this update. A good song from James Taylor. I wish Maureen all the best. Cheers, Leland! 🙏✌️
You know Mr Sklar , I believe that you and especially your wife's luck shall be taking a nice ,nice turn for the better after hearing your kind story regarding the Mother Goose and her 6 Goslings . Both of you have had the most horrendous time of it lately ,directly and indirectly , so I have a good feeling things shall be much better for your family . The compassion you showed those defensless little animals in guiding them to safety ,deserves every good fortune coming your way . A proper ,honest to god feel good story ,sadly so rare nowadays . Your video channel is exquisite.Very best wishes to you and Mrs Sklar .
That is good news for Maureen & you.Thankyou for looking after the geese & gopher.great piece of music of JT.Hugs & flowers to you both & the puppies♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌷🌻
My older sister had the Gorilla album, back in the 70s, and when she was not around and I played her LPs, this song is one that I often listened to. The line "I never really been but I'd sure like to go" always made me smile. Good to learn about Maureen's good progress. Greetings from Tijuana, Mexico.
Thanks for James and a good time of year...MAY DAY.......for a fun spring/summer song!!!!!!!
Probably my favorite JT song ! It's one I never get tired of hearing . Thanks for playing it
love this song since it came out great job lee.
I call the riff Leland played at 8:40 a leap for joy! A masterpiece of a song and my most favorite of James. Enjoyed your video, God of Bass!
Lee is a perfect complement to James’s playing. I can imagine in 30 years of collaboration James only said 2 or 3 things to Lee about his bass work.
James still had hair and Crosby/Nash was in top form. the harmony was great
Is this my favourite JT song!?! What a glissando!
Geese and gophers 😮
Great news about Maureen!!! And I’ve always loved “Mexico!”
Fabulous clubhouse today, Lee! Thanks.
Great news about Maureen. Some interesting Mother Goose moments! Let’s hope that you are ok for the summer tour in June. You are right about putting Maureen first. People understand. Great music, thanks. Happy times are coming!
I'm so excited to get to see James Taylor in my hometown of Nashville on June 12th!! Wish you were there but I'm also looking forward to hearing and seeing Jimmy Johnson!!
A big thank you to my daughter DeeAnna for treating me!! It will be a Daddy Daughter event and a first for seeing Mr. Taylor and Band!!
Thanks Lee, I’ve always liked that song. I was listening to it this morning made my day.
One of my fave JT songs. Great memories riding with my best friends up to northern Michigan to go camping, listening to 8 tracks in the car on the way up. Thanks, Lee.
I’ve always dug your enthusiasm and spirit, Leland.
Best wishes to Maureen.
Mexico is always a favorite live🙌🏽
“Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 1970’s “ ( what ?? It’s not the 1970’s ) - god bless you Lee - what a kind soul you are - thank you for the updates and the music 🙏🌏✌️🎶🎼🎸⚡️⚡️💥💥⚡️⚡️🎶🎶🎼🙏
Lovely, beautiful Song, great Bassline. Thumbs up!
Thank you for sharing this video. Such a great song. Your performance is amazing. I got chills listening
What a joy to hear you play. Thank you Leland.
Seeing you play the bassline to this song has given me a new appreciation for it! Awesome!! I want to be like you when I grow up Mr Sklar!! Hope everything keeps going well!!
