Guitar Man

Leo Kottke, one of the finest 12-string acoustic guitarists in the world, made his annual trip to the Narrows Saturday night. In addition to the finest playing one could ever see, we learned from Leo's between-song patter:

• He looks exactly like a German female classical pianist named Kottke who died in 1911;

• He once shot a pistol at light bulbs tossed into the ocean while standng on the deck of a surfaced submarine;

• While doing the above his hearing was impacted when the guy next to him fired a loud machine gun at the light bulbs.

• Pete Seeger is a one-of-a kind instrumentalist.

• And, as documented in the photo above, he likes to carry his guitars off the stage once the show is over.
