Greetings all.
Welcome to this month’s episode of the Iron Leg Radio Show.
We have a very special episode for you this week (dropping a little early, as well).
The world recently lost the mighty Leon Russell, a brilliant songwriter, singer and pianist, and a foundational artist in my musical sensibilities.
I decided that tribute had to be paid, so this episode is dedicated to Leon as producer, arranger, composer and performing artist.
There are some familiar things, some things you may not have heard before, and I close out the show with a cover of one of Leon’s best songs by none other than the man who first brought Leon’s music into our house, close to 45 years ago, my Dad, Joe Grogan.
Piano Joe
So settle in, with a mug of cocoa to take the chill out of the air (or something stronger if you so desire) and open your ears to some of the finest music of the last 50 years.
As always, I hope you dig it, and I’ll see you next week.
Make sure you subscribe to the podcast in iTunes!
Peace
Larry
