RIP Leon Redbone

He was a throwback 40 years ago with a unique sound. This song seems appropriate:

I'm so saddened to hear of Leon Redbone's passing. He created such a raspy yet smooth and mellow sound with that voice of his. His music was always easy and comforting. RIP, Leon, from an admiring fan.

Here's one of my faves.

RIP Leon. You created beauty and brought it into the world.

A fan for decades, I was shocked to find out he was five years younger than me.

I caught him at Cheney Hall a while back. He was cool. I thought he was older.
