He is known for a fingerpicking style that draws on blues, jazz, and folk music, and for syncopated, polyphonic melodies. He overcame a series of personal obstacles, including partial loss of hearing and a nearly career-ending bout with tendon damage in his right hand, to emerge as a widely recognized master of his instrument. He currently resides in the Minneapolis area with his family.
Focusing primarily on instrumental composition and playing, Kottke also sings sporadically, in an unconventional yet expressive baritone described by himself as sounding like "geese farts on a muggy day".[1] In concert, Kottke intersperses humorous and often bizarre monologues with vocal and instrumental selections from throughout his career, played solo on 6- and 12-string guitars.

@fbrown172
A million thanks for this one!! There's another video of this song and this performance on youtube, but the audio is badly out of sync with the video. This on is bookmarked for sure!
@howlandreed4031
He was and is an extremely violent guitar player, in the best way possible of course ! He’s got groove
@snoolee7950
He should try playing a 12 string guitar.
@lynnmcguire
are all the stools in Germany convex?, or just the one Leo got stuck with.
@somewhere59
...and i will try to apologize to him by donating a book for his health on 4th of November when he is performing in Stuttgart (Edward Griffin: "World without cancer").
@somewhere59
maybe he began to stand after having toured too much in Germany - sorry for the intercultural handicapping...
