The Interviews

This 2025 series features interviews with people who performed and recorded with Leigh over the years, beginning with Little Queenie & the Percolators, to her final CD, Waking Up in Dreamland. 


Each episode features an extensive interview with one of the key players in Leigh's musical journey.  We talk about their relationship with Leigh, their shared musical experiences, and that wonderful time in New Orleans music history from the mid 70’s to mid 80’s.
