Uploaded 1 year ago
How long have you been playing?
45 years. Started out with trumpet (and harmonica) I always loved to play..
What was the first concert you ever went to?
I went to all kinds of Jazz, pop and classical concerts when I was a kid. I don't remember. If you are talking about "rock" arena concerts, my first was probably Emerson, Lake and Palmer in the Long beach Arena
What gear do you use?
Banjos: Wildwood Troubador, Deering John Hartford, Nechville Nuvo Cascade.
Guitars: Taylor K25ce, Collings 0002h, Taylor GS mini, Yamaha 12 string, Gibson Arlo Guthrie, Fender Strat , Fender Pawnshop 72, Regal Reso, Bentley 1/2 size strat.
Harmonicas. I am a collector. Perhaps 200 vintage models not to mention 40 that I play out.

What are you looking for from Fandalism?
2-25-13 I am always looking for people to jam with (who can play)
At the moment, I would like to find a local pianist (who can read)
for recording and potential gigging (not looking for "electronico keyboard wiz)
Looking for someone who can open the book and play it like it isnt coming from one !
I am willing ro record with singer/songwriters or anyone else
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
There were a lot of them
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
Yes. I play with "Gary Mazola and Planet" Met at Millpond festival about 8 years ago. We play shows sometimes. I record with a lot of people
If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
Riders in the Sky. They are my heroes..LOL
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
2000 (or more) at Rodeo grounds in Coarsegold . Smallest audience would be one, I don't remember. During the (0's When I was "Campfire Ken" I did more than thousand shows. Many were "memorable". The last show I played with "Planet" at fiddlers crossing in Tehachapi was as good as it gets (as far as Team efforts)
You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
I would bring a guitar instead. I don't listen to albums over and over

Teague's Alto"
I found this recorder in a box in 2002 after my father (Teague Leiboff) had passed away. I do not remember seeing this one however he did have a tenor that he would play periodically (we all have our secrets). The photo of him and my daughter, Joy was taken in 2001. this is the last one that I have. My father was an extremely kind man. He loved dogs and cats and children (even teenagers) and just about everything else . He loved people, he loved music. He loved life. There was not a negative bone in his body !
