Thank you Henry!!!!!! Great job as always!!!!!!
I'm sorry for your loss of a dear friend. He was truly one-of-a-kind and he will be deeply missed by so many. What a blessing to you that you could call him a friend. 💞💗🙏 And a very touching tribute. Thank you!
Hats off to Henry for this most generous, thoughtful, witty and accurate testimony to the peerless Mr Dave. He enriched my life from the days of Kaleidoscope and subsequent side trips with Terry Reid, Jackson Browne, El Rayo-X, Henry, Ry Cooder and his endless collaborations down the years. "Session-man" etc never did him justice. I met him once and interviewed him a little later and he was a musical encyclopaedia and an engaging, funny subject. His musical spirit
will be undiluted by the years.
A huge loss. One of the finest musicians of our time. And that voice! I never knew whether to laugh, cry or just enjoy. But I loved him anyway. 😘
Great tribute to a great musician...
RIP, David. Thank you, Henry, for sharing this loving tribute to a one-of-a -kind musician and human being. Deepest sympathies.
thank-you Henry
Thaks for share with us this beutiful homage.
You guys.....a lot of love.
Thanks very much, Henry.
This is I think the richest tribute anyone could give to David Lindley. It went deeper into the music and the person than I have really experienced so far. I had listened to all those albums but the last one. I had thought that David Lindley had been on only a few records in my collection including his solo album and some Jackson Brown albums but here I find he's in the deep end. I should have known. Or maybe I did and am just getting too old to remember. At any rate, Thanks Henry, for this clearly loving tribute.
Thank you, Henry…
Thank you Henry. ❤️💔R.I.P. Mr Dave💔❤️
I believe it was El Rayo X...UCSC Staff Appreciation Day..up top, outdoors on a stage set up on the field overlooking Monterey Bay, maybe summer. Just UCSC staff and some friends. I was a lucky staff member and a longtime fan. They checked us at the campus entrance. Some food, drinks and a flea market, some selling clothes. The band started playing their usual amazing tunes, the fog rolled in, the wind picked up and it got really chilly; those flea market guys sold every sweater, jacket and shirt real quick and we all had the best time. I wish I had a video. Mid way in the show they were cookin' and a gust of wind blew a towel off the top of a speaker and it wrapped around David's face while he was singing....he didn't miss a beat, finished the song with the towel flapping in the wind. The place went nuts. Thanks, Dave!
Thank you Henry! RIP David Lindley ....
Thank you much, dear Henry! A very warm and nice one!
Thank you, Henry... what a beautiful thing you did for him. The world will be a much duller place without him.
This is such a beautiful tribute.
Mr. Dave. There will never be anyone like him. Not even close. 🙏🏻❤️🎵
Beautiful Henry!...Thanks so much.
It just feels SO good to put people in levels, to label their specialness over (or under) others we have been blessed to know. Isn't it just so sweet to critique and evaluate value on levels (one is better than this person and worse than that person...)? What a precious experience. So deep, heartfelt, and productive in inspiring others. A good judgment always drives the boat! Meanwhile....we LOVE David Lindley, wherever the heck he was on the/your tape measure! ❤❤❤
David's lap steel is like a warm summer embrace, a childhood memory such an amazing lyrical voice and that was just one of the many contributions he made to music...
This morning on the way to school my ten-year-old daughter asked me if I knew that David Lindley had died I said yes course and she said what did he do I didn't know how to describe David's vast Talent so I just cued up Running on empty and said he's not the guy singing he's the guy playing that really high beautiful guitar she listened all the way through without saying a word and at the end she said wow he was really good huh I said yes honey he really was
It is a *rare* human who reaches so many. I'm grateful he reached me!
Back in 1986, I had the opportunity to roadie for David's band, El Rayo X. I was already a huge fan. And after a few months on the road I was in awe! Night after night, Mr Dave, Jorge, Bernie (later Ray), Smitty, and Walfredo blew away audiences with their unique chunky style. I absolutely loved every single show!! I also really enjoyed this time with David. He was musical royalty, but he was also a sweet guy who made this young insecure musician feel right at home. I will miss you, David, and will always wish I could've seen just one more show.
Henry, thank you for sharing your personal stories of David in this wonderful tribute.
Great tour,Paul was wonderful also❤
@@danielosullivan3110 , Yeah I chatted with Paul Irwin, aka "Santa Claws", at a couple of gigs and corresponded with him a little bit when buying T-shirt's. (If you watch the performance of Quarter of a Man from the Reggae on the River concert, which you can find on CZcams, you'll aee Paul Irwin standing behind Lindley on stage). I was a subscriber to Lindley's newsletter in the pre-internet age! I just ordered a couple T-shirts and left a donation for David's family through the fundraiser set up by promoter Douglas Reynolds on the Custom Ink website.
I saw that tour in Nashville. A peak musical experience, to be sure! It must have been amazing to witness it night after night.
@@HankleburyTV It really was!
I saw him in Seattle on that same tour!! Blew my mind
Thanks Henry for the great window into your work with David.
The shirt is a nice touch! There couldn't be a better tribute to a musician of this caliber than to show us these sides of his playing that we've never seen - thanks for that.
Just wonderful stuff Henry. A perfect way to celebrate David's birthday. Thanks so much for sharing with everyone.
A great Requiem for the great man! Haven't seen this before, splendid!
Henry..thank you so much for sharing. David's death is truly a communal loss. How quickly a year slides away. Mil mesi.
Thank you for the wonderful tribute. Vaya con Dios Mr. Dave, thank you for all the good music.
Thank you for sharing beautiful exquisite David Lindley! Loved by many! My sincerest sympathies to you and just family and friends 😌
Thank you for sharing these touching memories. Blessings
A true and fitting tribute to a very great musician
I had the incredible luck to have David Lindley as my guitar and banjo teacher in Pasadena in the mid 60's. He had short hair then! He was always nice and patient. He found me a guitar and a banjo (which he reworked for me). I still have those instruments and still play them today. He had unimaginable talent that was so evident sitting across from him and watch him play. He is in polyester heaven now! RIP
Amazing!
Beautiful, Henry.
Thanks for this wonderfull tribute, Henry. RIP David Lindley and Thank you for the extraordinary human being that he was.
RIP David 😢💔☮💜👩💜
'll never forget his Original House of Blues concert-( Cambrige MA)I was a bit late. Climbing the stairs I could hear a very full glorious sound Guitar, Vocals,Drums, and a superb bass player. Sliding through the elbow-to-elbow crowd to get a close look, I discovered that Lindley was playing lap-style and was finger-styling the bass lines as well while singing. A two-man band: Stage left was all drums, a massive completist collection of all toms, bells, hand-drums, rattles, gongs...stage left was a very large collection of various string instruments, including balalaïkas, bouzoukis... Each instruments was rigged with there own pick-up and plugged into their own preamp, stacked in a fridge-size rack-mount unit. Lindley had tweaked each instrument to perfection ( at least 12) That was my dream set-up: Variety and perfect tone. ( For the Geeks: All contact-mics, with a small pinch of chorus, I'd say 5%) Lindley's singing was also surprisingly great and what an superbly awful polyester shirt. ( I actually have my own collection of those too!-) I helped him after the show putting things in their cases so I could touch and smells the magic wands. David was gracious, and pleasant, easy going. I guess the true Spirit of California....ChEars to David Lindley!!!
Hi Henry. Thanks for sharing your wonderful memories of, and collaborations with, the amazing David Lindley. Nice to see you too. xLesley
Thanks for sharing this! I was first introduced to David’s incredible talent way back when he was playing with Jackson Browne, in the 70s. He was a great player and a good person.
Henry, Thank you so very much for sharing. This is an amazing thing to share. Sorry for the loss of your friend.
Thank you David for the music that was a major part of my life. From Mars to Madagascar you made the most wonderful sounds. And thank you Henry for sharing this tribute. Also I would be remiss if I didn't offer David a belated thumbs up for his long-time dedication to his dress code.
many great sliders. david lindly very special. 💘
That was beautiful. Thank you Henry.
Thanks so much, Henry, for sharing your story, and the clips...RIP Mr. Dave.
RIP Mr. Dave. Thanks so much for your music.
Thank you Henry
From rockin' the house to soothing the soul this music is like being overwhelmed by a wave of peace, joy and awe for millions of people throughout the world. Personally, David was, is, and forever more shall be will be my 'MAGICAL MUSICAL MUNCHKIN' damn it!
Such a beautiful human being and a matchless artist. Will miss his presence at folk festivals. RIP
Thank you for this! Just a beautiful tribute. I remember seeing David somewhere after the trip to Madagascar. He asked me if I wanted to see his photos, and I said sure. He handed me a photo album full of postcards crammed in to all the sleeves. 😅 Love that man. RIP David. Thank you Henry.
What a lovely tribute, Henry. Thank you.
Thanks Henry for this well-stated and heartfelt tribute to David Lindley. He was a true original. He was an "idea" man who also had supreme technique, and that's kind of rare. El Rayo X was one of the best bands ever. People will enjoy his music for many years to come, so in a way, Lindley is immortal.
Thank you David Lindley for being David Lindley Slide Guitar Genius .
Thank you Henry. That was a wonderful tribute. !!!
RIP, Dear David. So sad to hear of your departure.
TY! Beautiful way to honor a friend.
Thank you, Henry. That was lovely! R.I.P. David.
Thank you, Henry
thank you, Henry. perfect.
Thanks Henry
Both a Masterful and Magical journey in so many ways.
Thank you Henry. I worked with him a couple times and his energy was magical
Dammit, Henry, you made me cry, for the umpteenth time since I heard about Dave's passing. Tears of sadness mixed with tears of joy that I got to hear, appreciate and enjoy David's playing for nearly 50 years, both on record and in concert. Thank you for this tribute. By the way, the World Out of Time series is a favorite of mine, and my wife and I used "Izahy Si Malala" as part of our wedding ceremony! In closing, all I can say is Lassez le Bon Temps Roulez; Let the good times roll!
This is a Beautiful Tribute
RIP David Lindley. 🌹 🕊 ♥ 🌎 ✌
I don't know how I'm just hearing of this. It's painful. RIP. Such a master of his instrument, so lyrical.
A deep loss for music, thank you Henry
You and David have enriched my life and so many others with your respective and collaborative unique treasures Henry. This is a beautiful tribute. So sorry for loss which all of us who love his music and yours share in our own way. Thankyou
A beautiful and loving tribute to Mr. Dave.
Was lucky enough to see him play at a small outdoor stage with my 3 young kids. It was a warm summer night and my children danced and twirled under the stars to Lindley's music without a care in the world. What a night that was for us, and one that will leave us with memories for a lifetime.
Thanks for this tribute, Henry. RIP David Lindley
Thank you for sharing this. I knew of Mr. Lindley because "way back in the day" I listened to Jackson Browne a good bit. I knew how good a musician he was, but was unaware of much of this incredible music.
An extraordinary tribute to David. So sorry for your loss, and the loss to the world.
sorry for your loss. thanks so much for sharing all this...
I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for celebrating his life by sharing your memories and these clips with us. He was one of a kind.
Thank you Henry. Very moving.
So very sorry for the loss of your dear friend, Henry - and thank you so much for sharing this treasure. Lots of folks missing this guy, and this sure helps us remember his genius as if we needed reminding!
Great stuff, just wish the occasion was happier, but thanks for sharing the joy of David Lindley...
RIP David Lindley. Your slide guitar and lapsteel guitar play. Unique.
Very beautiful this tribute... Thanks!!!
Thanks from Madagascar ! It's also a tribute to our national flutist Rakoto Frah (1923-2001)
RIP David Lindley !
Sorry for your loss. Sorry for all of our loss. Happy and joyful for the music, love, and weirdness that David gave us.
Lovely tribute to a great musician. RIP
Thank you Henry / Genius’s All of You ! DL now w/ WARREN… Laughing 😝 R.I.P.
The flute and slide one is especially fantastic.. Masterful and fun
thanks for the tribute celebration of the genius. peace to you. David always brings joy to my spirit.
RIP, Mr. Dave. The world is a smaller place without the Prince of Polyester. I've seen him many times live, the last two being very memorable, both with my late brother. We saw him at the Coach House in San Juan Cap in 2005 open for Leo Kottke and the last time at Motorco in Durham NC in the 2010s (first row). What a sweet, happy sound coming from a sweet person. The first time I saw the man play was on TV, way way back. He appeared on some "Saturday Night Special" deal. It was with the El-Rayo X band. He came out in a white and red kimono and played "Mercury Blues" on his stand up flat steel guitar. Rocked very hard. Thanks, Dave, for all the great music, particularly the Friz Fuller songbook.
Thanks for this! David's wonderful light will keep on shining in his recording legacy.
Saw David a few times in mid 80s, always put on a great show.
I auditioned for you guys in Boston in the late 80s. David wanted to work together but we got busy. My condolences. I admired him.
My favorite musician as well
So many here have already said it best. Lovely tribute. Deepest sympathies, Mr. Kaiser.
What amazing adventures you had with David! I'm so sorry for your personal loss, and sorrier still for what we all have lost. I was fortunate enough to see David a few times, and those memories are precious to me. Love to you and all who loved him, sir.
By the way, that's some crazy soloing you do as well. ❤
Mr. Dave was one of my early entres into "great music that didn't get a lot of air play" in the 70s and 80s. I always saw his name as a session man on big albums, mainly by Califotnia artists, so when he came to Calgary in 1980 or so with El Rayo X, I figured I'd take a chance, I got my ears opened to a new world that night. I still have the autographed t shirt actually (never wore it because I had to buy one that was to small). But I digress.
I took every opportunity after to catch his act. He was often on the Canadian summer folk fest circuit and I saw him several times in Canmore solo, with Hanni Nasser, and Twango Bango Deluxe (ridiculous, but...Mr. Dave to a tee). His shaggy dog stories were epic. His albums from that era, put together from bootleg recordings, with crudely lettered covers crude Mr Dave drawn cover art, and long unwieldy titles, still get regular spins in my cd player.
The world of music is poorer. In a business where, format, fashion sense, and sales rule, there are few who let a little fresh air in, David Lindley was one such. He brought: prodigious talent and nusical knowledge, an open mind, variety, whimsy, and no fashion sense at all. I will miss him.
Great Henry this wrecks me never got to see David play but im learning Talk to the Lawyer today im always too late it seems.. heres to the legacy David left us..
thank you for sharing this..
I’m so very fortunate to have seen him numerous times in the nineties and had the pleasure of meeting him every time. He did that schmoozing thing after shows. God bless him. He’s one of the best, Prince of Polyester..
My guitar teacher Mitch keys Norco taught David Lindley how to play the banjo and he told me that he's got jealous cuz it took them two days to master it
Thankyou, that was beautiful. So sorry for your loss❤.
Thank you Henry. David told me that you two donated the proceeds of the Madagascar series to help local musicians there. You both have a heart.
Thank you so much for your Music... .Mr. David....
Thanks for the wonderful tribute. One of my favorite musicians of all time.
Beautiful
