When I worked at Silver Mountain Ski resort we had a summer concert series in an amphitheater at the top of the mountain.The line up one summer included Leon Redbone. When I congratulated the marketing director on having signed him, she disappointedly told me it was a mistake.

She thought she had signed Leon Russell.

Redbone put on an awesome show,though I never could understand why he walked around afterward with a cantaloupe and a large butcher knife in his hands.

Was afraid to ask him.
