Leon Redbone from Saturday Night Live. + Informações

A video tribute to Leon Redbone. I love this song and I know many others do too. Lyrics: Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun How you 'spect to get your day's work done? Never get your day's work done Sleepin' in the noonday sun Lazy bones, sleepin' in the shade How you 'spect to get your corn meal made? Never get your corn meal made Sleepin' in the evening shade When taters need sprayin' I bet you keep prayin' Worms fall off of the vine And when you go fishin' I bet you'll be wishin' Fish would jump on the line Lazy bones, dozin' through the day How you 'spect to make a dime that way? Never make a dime that way Never heard a word I say (below are the credits for the whole album "On The Track" Vinyl, LP, Album, 1975) Arranged By - Leon Redbone Arranged By [Strings,horns] - William Eaton Banjo - Don McLean Bass Guitar - Milt Hinton Castanets - Ralph Macdonald Clarinet - Billy Slapin Cornet - Joe Wilder Drums - Stephen Gadd Engineer - Bob Liftin Guitar - Leon Redbone Guitar [Hawaiian] - Charles Macey Harmonica - Leon Redbone Mastered By - Vince McGarry Piano - Patty Bown Producer - Joel Dorn Saxophone - Philip Bodner* , Seldon Powell Trombone - Garnett Brown Trumpet - Joe Wilder Tuba - Jonathan Dorn Violin - Emanuel Green, Gene Orloff, Joe Venuti , Leo Kahn Vocals - Leon Redbone Vocals [Throat Tromnet] - Leon Redbone Written By - Al Dublin/Harry Warren, Irving Berlin , Jack Neville/Jimmie Rodgers, Jimmie Rodgers, Johnny Mercer/Hoagy Carmichael, Shelton Brooks, Thomas Waller .... + Informações

Leon Redbone is a singer and guitarist specializing in interpretations of early 20th-century music, including jazz and blues standards and Tin Pan Alley classics. One of Leon Redbone classics Shine on harvest Moon is a fine example of his talent. Redbone's origins are shrouded in mystery. Redbone has cited his date of birth as October 29, 1929; the date was the day of the US stock market crash that sparked the Great Depression. Redbone also claimed to have been born in Bombay during a monsoon to parents Niccolò Paganini (a composer and violinist who died in 1840) and Jenny Lind (a singer who died in 1887). Leon sings Diddy Wah Diddy. He first appeared on stage in Canada in the early 1970s. Redbone so impressed musician Ramblin' Jack Elliot, that when he returned to New York he told everyone he knew about Redbone's musical breadth and mysterious eccentricities. Bob Dylan sought him out at the next Mariposa Folk Festival. In a Rolling Stone interview, Dylan said that if he were ever to start a label, Redbone would be the first artist he wanted to record. Leon sings Melancholy baby: He acted in the offbeat feature film "Candy Mountain," with Tom Waits. He provided television theme songs to "Mr. Belvedere" and "Harry and the Hendersons," and had a memorable guest role as the quixotic, guitar-wielding guardian to Corky on ABC's critically acclaimed "Life Goes On." He's even been the subject of Far Side cartoons. "I think of these things as obstacles rather than opportunities .... + Informações

Redbone does a superior version of "Christmas Island", hands-down. How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How'd ya like to spend the holiday away across the sea? How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How'd ya like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree? How'd ya like to stay up late, like the islanders do? Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe. If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island You will never stray for everyday Your Christmas dreams come true. How'd ya like to stay up late like the islanders do? Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island You will never stray, for everyday Your Christmas dreams come true On Christmas Island your dreams come true.. + Informações

While living in Canada in the early 1970s, Redbone began performing in public at Toronto area nightclubs and folk music festivals. At one point, it was rumored that he was actually comedian Andy Kaufman, who sometimes took on other identities, or singer/guitarist Frank Zappa, who somewhat resembled Redbone. However, Redbone has performed since the deaths of Kaufman and Zappa, and the rumors have subsided.. + Informações
