Leon Redbone
R.I.P. Leon Redbone. Somewhat of a throwback with his quirky style both musically and haberdashery but I enjoyed his work. And, his song voice overs for the All Detergent ads. He lived just a few miles from me and for those who have made the "River Road run", he was known to frequent New Hope.

Always a bit of mystery, Mr.Redbone. “Leon interests me,” Dylan said in an interview with Rolling Stone in 1974. “I’ve heard he’s anywhere from 25 to 60, I’ve been (a foot and a half from him) and I can’t tell, but you gotta see him. He does old Jimmie Rodgers, then turns around and does a Robert Johnson.”
Dylan wasn’t the only one who didn’t know Redbone’s real age since the performer never directly answered questions about his origin or age. The Thursday statement announcing his death explained that “Leon Redbone crossed the delta for that beautiful shore at the age of 127. He departed our world with his guitar, his trusty companion Rover, and a simple tip of his hat.” “I don’t do anything mysterious on purpose. I’m less than forthcoming, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’m mysterious. It just means I’m not inclined to go there”
