Leon Russell Is Gone

This is such an awful year. Soon after learning about Leonard Cohen's passing we get the news that Leon Russell too has died. I consider myself fortunate that I saw him in concert earlier this year at the Simi Valley Cajun & Blues Music Festival, and got a chance to meet him. He is certainly going to be missed.

Here are a few photos I took at that festival.
