Honored to have been friends with guitar god Tommy Tedesco, who might be the most recorded guitarist in the history of the music biz.

I got to play his legendary Telecaster he used on "Be My Baby" and other classics.

"Lefty O'Doul: America's Forgotten Hero" This ten-minute teaser is the untold story of a powerful act of humanitarianism by an unheralded baseball lifer that built a bridge of friendship between two bitterโ€ฆ

Say, Hey! Dig my ten-minute short film about "Lefty" O'Doul's incredible 1949 goodwill tour of Japan!

It's an excerpt from a documentary I'm making about O'Doul and the project is crowd-funded. Ping me if you'd like to join Team Lefty!

I'm a big fan of baseball art!

The great Jack Davis created this piece representing the SF Giants.

A 60-second tribute to the great Terry Kath of Chicago This is "A 60-second tribute to the great Terry Kath of Chicago" by Jon Leonoudakis on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

I love guitars!

Raised on the Beatles, Hendrix, and Santana-- it's a natural fit.

Playing for 46 years. Been in a few bands, played to a 3,000 seat crowd, fancy nightclubs, even a cemetery!

Love me some old school Chicago and Terry Kath! Dig the video below!

Vida Blue by artist Mark Ulriksen!

Mark has done over 50 covers for the New Yorker magazine. He loves dogs, baseball, and jazz.

I made a documentary about Mark, "Baseball as Muse." He's a great artist and better human.

Say, hey! Good to be here with everyone on Blue Sky!

I post about sports, culture, music, guitars, baseball, film, family and friends.

Photo below is from attending the San Francisco Giants' Fantasy Camp in 2016. 60'6" is a lot closer than you think!
