I first met Leslie back in the '70s and seen many of his live shows. I haven't seen him a awhile but ran into him at NAMM. He had bout with cancer and is feeling much better.

I'm glad to see that Leslie is up and about.

Did you get to try out his signature Dean guitar?

Hells yeah man! Leslie West is one of my favorite players, and I feel that he is often overlooked, underappreciated, and undercreditted.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Tony!

What other ones do you have from NAMM?

Speaking of Deans, I have a couple Deans (from their first couple years) and they are great (underappreciated) guitars.

"Look at me. I believe it's true. You're a part of me, I'm a part of you.."

Boys in the Band. Great tune. Yeah, Leslie is way too often overlooked. Mountain was one of the great 3 piece bands in the 60's, early 70's. I spent many hours as a kid wearing out Mountain Climbing trying to learn those songs. Theme For an Imaginary Western is still one of my favorite tunes from that era. Yeah, I know, it's a Jack Bruce tune, but Mountain did it better.
