He is solid and play very well.

He should be just finishing up a tour in Europe. I'm not sure where or with whom though
I just saw it. He follows Judith Owen.He should be just finishing up a tour in Europe. I'm not sure where or with whom though
I will follow it.
Thanks
Welcome aboard Lee, and best of luck dealing with the avalanche of correspondence you're about to get!
It is my pleasure............
On tour with Judith Owen. She is a most gifted singer,songwriter, musician. Having a blast. Just finishing up her new album. Touring the one did a while back. New one will be out first of next year.

Still have a lot of work to do this year in Europe and the States with Judith Owen.
I've been to a recent (mid-March I think) gig with Judith Owen in London. Got a chance to have a brief chat and a photo opportunity with you (plus Rob Harris and Steve Lawson, whom both I meet slightly more regularly and who are used to my annoying mug). Also grabbed a CD and got it signed by Judith and yourself Great album! I enjoy it immensely, my favourite track being probably "Some Arrows Go Too Deep" (fantastic deep bossa feel) and "You're Not Here Anymore" with your very melodic playing. Beautiful songs with perfect bass tone throughout, on a gear-nerdy note - is it a Starbass? Or your Frankenstein? On the gig your tone was awesome as well, I expected it but it struck me how sweet you sounded. Just trying to say that I admire your work and will always cherish the moments of meeting you (previous one was at last years London Bass Guitar Show). Another thing I feel I need to express, is my respect for all the right things you stand up against in your social media activity. Thank you very much for giving an exquisite example of professional and human integrity and for taking time to be here.

I have admired your playing a long time, especially the Lyle Lovett stuff, and just hope I can think of something smart to ask. Have you considered a no beard questions allowed policy?

It is the Starbass II on Judith album.
Mr Sklar do you think you will soon come again in France ? I would like to see you playing well as you always do.
mr. sklar - as others have said, very honored for you to spend time imparting your wisdom to us
Wisdom??? Too much responsibility! Yikes! Just conversations..........
Nothing in the book as of now. But hope to soon....love being there. Spent so many years there with Véronique Sanson.
Thank you! If I'm ever doing PR for another noteworthy bass player, I'll be sure to hit you up.

It's always been a dream of mine to have such an experienced bass legend on TalkBass. @Leland Sklar 's discography is one of the most varied and impressive of any bass player with well over 2,000 albums under his belt. A quick web search will turn up a plethora of info and background. To keep things brief, here are some suggested links for further reading:

Please remember that Sklar is probably the busiest bassist on earth, so give him time to respond to your threads
I met Leland at NAMM several years ago and when my companions asked if we could get a pic with him he said sure, but only if we'd then pose for him flipping him the bird. We obliged of course. Apparently he collects these. Funny guy.

- I am a hobbyist making stone picks that I sell but mostly give away. They made me do this anyways.
I play for the great spirit in the sky. The song is incidental. Actually I don't play bass much anymore, but its sitting 8 feet from me if it calls.
