    Leon Redbone is a reclusive person not given to talking to the media
    much.
    
    He toured here a few years back as opener for Leo Kottke and I saw
    him at the New Victoria in London.
    
    He looks a bit like Groucho Marx and has a bit of comedy in his
    act like starting to play with his gloves on, then removing them,
    hanging a tin cup on his guitar.
    
    Halfway through his set he bought on a tuba (!) player.
 
    I bought one of his albums called Champagne Charlie and frankly
    found it a disappointment.
    
    I suspect that he has at least one album on Stephan Grossmans label.
    
    His guitar playing, which is based on ragtime style, is breathtaking.
    
    regards
