Through a series of e-mails from people all over, I finally tracked Leroy King Down. For those of you who don't know the story, Leroy King was this incredible country picker I heard some 25 years ago in Mid-Michigan. I was curious as to what ever happened to him. After 2 weeks of forum blogs and dead ends, I found out that the guy only lives an hour from me and once a month he participates in a Mason, Michigan VFW country jam. So, my son and I attended the jam a few days ago and sure enough, good ole Leroy showed up. He was playing the same strat I saw him playing 25 years ago. His style was a barage of arppegios with tons of lightning fast chicken picken licks woven through out. I was still impressed with him, his tone, his showmanship and his kindness toward me. I would love to post a video of him on you-tube someday soon. I was glad to see that time had not distorted just how good he really was as apposed to how good I thought he was. He was and is still one badass guitarist.

Hello BigHouse,

Tenacity paid off, good deal.

On a side note I was talking to a friend
and was told the name, Leroy, means "The King"

The King King 8)

Let us know if you get a u-tube link going.

Cheers.
