Leon Redbone, in addition to being a great performer and a an expert in old time and old jazz musice, is a notable "Man of Mystery"--A newsperson of my acquaintance mentioned to me that he had been involved in some sort of controversy involving anti-semitism a while ago, but knew nothing further--this surprised me, and though I am a big fan, and familiar with his music and playing styles, I know nothing about him or his background at all, not even to know if he would have been the subject or the source--Did he say something? Was something said about him? Did this person get him confused with someone else? Inquiring minds, as always, want to know!
