This is OK, but he was better 30 years ago when he went by the name "Leon Redbone."

To me, Pokey, Leon and Frank Fairfield, are living proof, walking among us, that time travel is possible. I, for one, am thankful for each of them.
Pokey rocked the house (er, outdoor stage) at Pickathon two years ago. He found a large number of fans that night. My wife's highlight of the whole weekend was watching Pokey watching Mavis Staples, and after each rocking number, turning to his bandmates and enthusing "That's the way you do it!"
