Leon Russell dead at 74

[Checkerboard Strangler]

My Mom's side of the family is from Disney, Leech and Ja. I live twenty miles from Grand Lake..

Ever get the chance to see Leon's estate?
It's pretty incredible...we toured the whole place back in 2000.

That's the concert video that I own the rights to.
You should get yourself a copy, I guarantee you will love it.

Musician Leon Russell dies aged 74

A tough week for us geezers! First Leonard Cohen and today Leon Russell.

Never head of him.

Before your time, sonny.

Mick Jagger is 74. I've heard of/remember him.

I'm up on the tightrope,
One side hate and one is hope,
But the altitude really gets to me.

Shit another great one gone.

Like a rubbernecked giraffe
You look into my past
well maybe you're just too blind ta
