About this episode

Leland Sklar discusses his music career and love for dogs in this encore episode.

Encore episode with Leland Sklar from February 25, 2025. If the movie world has 6° of separation from Kevin Bacon then the music world would have 3° of separation from legendary bassist Leland Sklar. Leland has appeared on over 2000 albums and has played and/or toured with a who's who in music including James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Phil Collins to name only a few. And if you seek out Leland on social media or his popular YouTube channel you discover right away he's a consummate dog guy as well so it was an absolute thrill to have him come on the show and discuss his beloved trio of basset hounds Marcello, Rossanos and Romeo. Leland is currently on tour with Lyle Lovett through the start of May. For tickets and info visit tour.lylelovett.com Leland chose to give a shout out to three outstanding dog organizations. Leading off is Canine Companions for Independence who provide service dogs to adults, children and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings. Since their founding in 1975, dogs and all follow-up services are provided at no cost to their clients. To get involved go to canine.org…
