arthurhenry Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Does anyone here know the origin of Leland' Sklar's name? I presume he has some Scandinavian heritage. Can't find any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 According to Wiki: Sklar (also Sklyar), is a Ukrainian and Belorussian surname meaning "glassmaker", 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really serves the song but some nice/interesting movement in the verses. He’ll go far, this fella..! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray5 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) I've been following these on Youtube myself. Lee Sklar is such a wonderful bass player and quite obviously a genuinely nice bloke. I particularly loved the recent Livingston Taylor vid (day 62) - after all the great bass parts he's shown, including the Billy Cobham Spectrum numbers, Toto, Jackson Browne (that phrase in Doctor My Eyes!) - and he goes and messes up on what is essentially "a nice easy country number"...! Thanks also to @NoirBass for starting and maintaining this thread. It makes for a great reference tool.

KevB Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I'm not usually bothered about these kinds of things when someone just sits down and plays, I already know they are good players. Hence I've watched more of Sklars because he includes interesting anecdotes and is happy to give his thoughts on subjects outside of music, from the perspective of the wisdom of someone that's been around and seen stuff, which makes them far more interesting to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I don't think Lee's video does justice to the sound of this record. Listen to the original recording. Lee gets a fantastic bass sound on this song and a perfect, economical and melodic bass line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
