Subject:Re: Leon Russell's Rig

Leon, Yes!

I opened for Leon and his band at Stephen Talkhouse 2 months ago and
got a close up of his rig aand talked to his tech about it. I think
it was great to see what someone from that era did with all the
technology in the last 40 years. It was very cool and thought out. I
kept thinking of Bob Moog, Walter Carlos and Clockwork Orange
looking at it in the back of my brain. He can bring in and out alot
of varied sounds with 4+ old EV10 pedals. plus a set of about 7
switches. I thought his synth routing and mixing set up was much
more interesting that the computer rig. ..

His fly wing-monitors make sense to. . . .

I love Leon..... I think, and this is just a guess, he may have MS...

He's been using a kane for at least 10 years and when we played the
gig he had a mobile rascal of some sort to get around....

he probably made 10 million dollars on This Masquarade and the other
hit he had on AM radio on publising alone. His tech said he does
about 125 dates a year!
