THE MAKING OF UNCLE LOUIE: entry 25


Chad Leiker and I would surf in the early mornings watching the sun break the horizon in brilliant hues of red and orange. Most of the time, we’d drift out of the line-up and discuss at length movies and art and music. Collaboration was in the cards for us and Uncle Louie provided the perfect vehicle to do so. Not only does Chad possess a keen ear for sound, but he sings and writes poetic lyrics for his band, The Booty Chesterfield Trio. His ukulele rendering of Guy Lombardo’s Enjoy Yourself serenades the opening of Uncle Louie with a left jab to the sensibilities. His version of Amore plays against the grain with his sweetly discordant voice somewhere between TomWaits and Bob Dylan
