I've been having a blast practicing for next month's post, I can barely keep the guitar out of my hands. I've been trying to produce better quality results with the new camera and thought it was a good excuse to share with all of you what is coming soon. Here I'm practicing the "Theme from the Rick and Bob Report" on the guitar Leo said he originally wrote and recorded it on. It is a mini strat-style guitar built by Knut-Koupee of the twin cities c. 1984, meant to be tuned up a 4th. This is why he capoed on the 5th fret when he recorded it again in 1989 on a regular acoustic guitar. You may recognize the guitar from this 1984 concert posted to YouTube.
I've had several requests to do this one over the last few years, I hope this makes for some happy friends two weeks from now.

Hey Andy! Great utube video of the Rick and Bob Report! So nice to hear it played on that incredible guitar and your performance was as usual outstanding!

I've always felt this is one of Leo's most beautiful, uplifting tunes. Also, very interested to hear of the origins and development of it over the 5 years before it came out on record. Fascinating.
