Ron and I went to the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall last night and saw Leo Kottke perform.
WOW. I have enjoyed his performances on A Prairie Home Companion for years and have a two CD set that I’ve put many miles on. But WOW.
I noticed that many of the men in the audience were leaning forward and studying every hand movement but I just sat back and enjoyed the music. I noticed that his whole body seemed to be dancing while he was playing – a full body, fully involved experience. I also noticed that the stops he put into his music were just as important a texture as the differences in pickings and strumming.
Great one man show.
