RIP Leon Redbone
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

69 was only an estimate. He was always rather secretive about his age and, well pretty much everything about himself. This story from NPR lists his age at 127.

Re: RIP Leon Redbone
About a million years ago, my ex and I watched Leon Redbone on Saturday Night Live, then promptly went out and bought On the Track. I enjoyed it for years until the stereo broke.
He was a great artist.
