Coming in late to say I finally saw Leon in person this summer, about a month before his heart attack.  My expectations were low, having heard he was not performing too well of late. 

Well, from the front row in a theater setting, I saw a master of the piano, a compelling singer and a talented songwriter, in his later days, yes, but still terrific.  His lengthy version of "Come On in My Kitchen" was bluesy and ballsy, my favorite of the show.  And then there was "Your Song," with all the miles and years behind it...

I sat to his right, so had a view of his hands on the keys, and the side of his face while he played.  He came onstage with no fanfare, told a few stories, but mostly just went from tune to tune.  I am grateful to have gone to the show.

Voodoo, I will listen to your tracks--thanks for putting up your tribute show for us.

Is that his family, and does he have kids? I don't much about his private life.

I saw him about 2 years ago in NYC and he was in a wheelchair at that time, so it was obvious he had health  trouble but he played his heart out, literally.
