One of my music heroes Leon Russell, Hit Maker and Musicians’ Musician, Passes away at 74.
I was just listening to his music last week trying to get a sound I'm
looking for.
I met Mr. Russell after one of his gigs that my best friend
MU took me to for my birthday.
One of the greatest gifts I ever had.
Some of my favorite songs he wrote.
He's one of my music heroes and has inspires my music.
Incredible songwriter and musician.
Thank you for
your genius music that I will keep listening to.
RIP Mr. Russell <3 #legend
Mr. Russell still inspires me bc I want to keep playing shows till I'm
in my 70s like Leon Russell at 71-year-old, who plays about 180 shows a
year 80min long, also had a new keyboard setup.
Instead of his jerry-rigged
multi-keyboard console of old, he had a fancy white baby grand piano
(with wavey blue lines on it).
It was actually a digital piano with two
giant speakers (and a laptop with lyrics) above the keyboard facing the
piano man.
On the side of the piano was the logo for Starkey Hearing, an
Eden Prairie company with which Russell is familiar. <3 #leaonrussell
