The Man Cave Sessions: "Across from Midnight" Tony Joe White. Cover by Dick Laing.
Переглядів 1,4 тис.4 роки тому
(Tip: Best to use headphones, buds or external speakers for optimum audio experience). Another variation of a Tony Joe White number. (Also Covered by Joe Cocker). This is my take on "Across from Midnight". All footage was captured on iPhone using the Filmic Pro app. Audio was re-mastered in GarageBand to add vocal harmonies, keyboards and additional percussion. Final editing was accomplished in...
The Man Cave Sessions: "Polk Salad Annie" by Tony Joe White. Cover by Dick Laing

This is my take on Tony Joe White's hit "Polk Salad Annie. I like to think that this arrangement is more "JJ Cale meets Tony Joe White" rather than swamp rock. Shame I could'nt play all the guitar parts at the same time! Nevertheless I had fun making it.

Leonid & Friends: "Make Me Smile" (Drummer's Cut)
Переглядів 151 тис.4 роки тому
Founder drummer with jazz-rock group Chicago, Danny Seraphine has much respect for tribute band Leonid & Friends' drummer, Igor Javad-Zade. Here, they both play James Pankow's classic "Make Me Smile" at different times, at different venues and with different bands, but when you marry Danny's performance to Igor's drum track from Leonid & Friends, the amazing synchronicity between the two of the...

    Hate Russians? Stupid Americans "hate" Russians. Anyone wanting the Russian people to be happy and free wish for a rearrangement of their political culture. Maybe an island, Kamchatka(?) peninsula, somewhere wth zero means of communicating w outside world as a retirement site. We could throw in our own evil clown to keep their's company. Nevertheless, we keep Leonid and Friends.

    Born in Milwaukee ‘50 I grew up plying brass instruments and joined a fantastic band of 150 musicians. We became Ambassadors* in toured 5 countries in Europe in 1965. Chicago Transit Authority ( Chicago ) is one of my all time favorite bands. I am looking forward to your performance at The Pabst Theatre in Milwaukee I September of 2024. Your tribute to Chicago is as you say better than well Chicago. I seen Chicago but have no reservations as your You Tube performances are exquisite.

    I got to see them Saturday night in Philadelphia, and I had an amazing time. They absolutely blew me away with how well they play live. Purchased a meet and greet and Cd. The meet and greet was organized and pleasant. The entire band was humble and very friendly. It was an experience I'll always treasure.

    I am in AWE of how good your music is. As much as I love Chicago, you are even better. First, your drummer is sublime - wow, he is so great, and he and the bass, just give the music the perfect tight rhythm. The horns are just so good - what a joy to hear the blaring horns - real music. And, the singing. I'm sure they hear it all the time, but they are INCREDIBLE. I have nothing but admiration of your artistry - because music produced this precisely, is artistic music.

Sucess is really subjective, but in my definition..they are and will be a success!

    My wife and I recently discovered Leonid and Friends when their cover of LIghthouse's One Fine Morning popped up on my UA-cam feed. The arrangement was like listening to Skip Prokop and the band all over again. Lighthouse played at our high school in Toronto in 1971, and a couple of years later I played some hockey with some of the band members.

Your heart and talent brings Chicago's exciting, live music back again after all these years. I saw Chicago for the first time in the Fall of 1969 at Philadelphia's Quaker City Music Festival. I swear its deje vu again!
