037 - Leland Sklar bassistt has played with 2600 bands on over 30,000 songs - now has a new book about birds - the ones associated with the middle finger! Plus tour talk YouTube and more!

This episode is with studio and touring bassist, Leland Sklar! Leland has worked with over 2,600 bands and played on over 30,000 songs. In 2004, Phil Collins hired him for the farewell tour. Lee brought his camera and that is where it started. He started taking picture of birds, and we don’t mean the ones from the Audubon Society! Now 16 years later and with over 12,000 photos from everyone he has run into, he has a new book titled “Everyone Loves Me”. The book will make you smile as will this episode.

Lee talks not only about making the book, but touring with Phil Collins, Toto, and his YouTube Channel that he has been posting everyday since March 2020.
