Don't Even Dept : #LeeSklar & #LyleLovett large band gigging at a #YMCA somewhere in Ohio ? This is what happens to attitudes after you do a #Shriners venue the size of a city block. Everything else becomes a corner dive. #RodneyDangerfield woulda loved it. Kidding utterly. Venues are where they are (runs away)...
🤣🐾🤘☕

Well, Here's #LeeSklar on tour with #LyleLovett large band wandering about the monstrously huge #MasonicTempleTheatre in #Detroit, Michigan. You know that #StarWars scene where Leia and the gang escape down a chute that lands them in a dumpster / cesspool pit with monsters ? Well that doesn't happen but pretty sure this building has one of those. It's gigantic

Here's #LeeSklar out with #LyleLovett Large band doing notes and credits for the nearing tour end & giving shout-out to band, techs and drivers (Yay !). He calls co- conspirators a "small but mighty group"but in the scheme of touring today this is still a midsize to large production. Thank God folks can still do these things after the hell that damn #Pandemic hath wrought. Love & good tidings to all
❤️❤️🐾☕👍🤘📡☮️

Always thought this is absolutely the place for #TheShining redux. Let's drag #JackNicholson and company out there one more time and have a killer evening !
No ? Well then we'll take a pony...on a boat. Fair trade
🤣☕🐾🤘

Here's #LeeSklar back out on the road with #LyleLovett and his Large Band again on walkabout taking in more of #TheMajestic theater , #SanAntonio, #Texas

So Muso #CrashCourse on "the thing" and if you got time for one thing this is that thing: #RickBeato and #LeeSklar talk music and encounters on the path of getting the job done. Nailed it

Lee Sklar shooting the shit with Rick Beato. Extremely entertaining.

Ok so more bits via #LeeSklar right away and on the road with #LyleLovett and his Large band. Hands been a bit full over here but.. you don't get to see this caliber of glass work on display on the road very often. Venue is the Ste. Michelle Winery in #Woodinville, #Washington

Via #LeeSklar on the road with #LyleLovett and his Large Band : Lyle joins #ShawnColvin for a bit

Can you believe it ? ! He's only three and a half minutes in and some random #Karen flips off #LeeSklar at #Ringo 's birthday bash ! I mean holy crap , currently on tour with #LyleLovett large band...you'd think the guy would garner more respect...even if he is the new kid on the block...

Time Flies Dept: Featuring #LeeSklar touting simplicity as he gets ready to head back out with #LyleLovett and the suddenly much larger band. Still though, I mean...a single flight case...filled with socks ? If it ain't broke...
🤣🤘🐾☕🍀

Of Course We go back to #LeeSklar because not doing so is Impossible: Here he trips back to #DarylStuermer 's solo work. Now *harmonically* they are worlds apart but Daryl almost always makes his way back to the original riff, structurally much like #EarlKlugh...only on electric
https://youtu.be/xgsmUy1AgZs

Fresh Off The Stove Dept: Holy Crap ! #LeeSklar shows up for a session, finds #GregBissonette sitting at the kit , who then spontaneously launches into a one-off history lesson stringing together various life bits and #drumming. Fun and funny without really trying. This might've been today or yesterday...

Boom! #LeeSklar session notes with #SylvieVartan . About time
🤣☕🐾🤘
https://youtu.be/XCJwN96EpZM

Here's #LeeSklar talking about an ultimate #SessionFromHell but first, if you have not seen #PiratesOfPenzance in at least one of it's incarnations you are incomplete ! But this also of course is #LindaRonstadt so ...

What Lee talks about here is much easier now with stem separation software via tools like #Izotope and #Melodyne- they needed to replace live production instruments to rebuild tracks and as you"ll hear the music and dialog are insane

So Thatza Wrap Dept: #LeeSklar , #LyleLovett bandmates & crew all headed home after last double in Virginia. Thanks Lee & everyone for sharing such a fun ride. Here's my plug for lef.org ( #LifeExtension ) protocols to keep all our muso hounds roadworthy & well preserved for the future. Also way less expensive than #taxidermy
🤣☕🐾🤘☮️🖕😝

Was going to say Here's #LeeSklar on tour with #LyleLovett walking the venue for the last two dates of their tour in #Alexandria , #Virginia but the sad unvarnished truth is these things always end behind a #Walmart sharing a dried up rotisserie #chicken while the short straw changes a flat tire...

🤣🐾☕🤘

Here's #LeeSklar on tour with #LyleLovett on walkabout at #JeffersonCenter , #Roanoke, #Virginia. Some of these old buildings are #foley libraries unto themselves...not sure but this sounds like a good external mic or maybe some post enhance

Here's Lee talking about this most recent horrendous last week of losses and some dates with #PhilKeaggy. No one spans the interval the way #LeeSklar does. For many of us this last week was a last straw- if you'd hardened and had a hard time letting go this week you lost it and bawled, finally. The sobs are not the breaking. Not being able to let go of ego is when things are internally broken.Healing and breathing go together when we stop pretending we are immune to loss

Here's #LeeSklar on
tour with #LyleLovett walkthrough of the #SmokeyMountainCenterForThePerformingArts , Franklin, North Carolina. Very warm vibe , Golden Retriever takes it over the top

Here's #LeeSklar on tour with #LyleLovett walkthrough in #Savannah #Georgia . Opening for⬇️ this guy is gonna be rough regardless but that's life . Also this hall seems like 2ms *more hall* than priors which puts everyone in the rafters if you don't compensate. #Nerditron activated...
