"This was also written in Mexico. Outside of Cuernavaca, there's a town called Taxco [pronounced "TAS-koh"] and it's more or less on top of a [audience member says something] -- which? -- it's on top of a mountain, many steps, if you want to be cool, to get there. And I've walked these steps. And when I got there -- this was on a weekend -- I entered the city square and fell asleep, as a result of this walk, on a park bench. And I was awakened, I don't know how much time had elapsed, but I was awakened by a little boy who was beating me in the face with a rolled-up newspaper. He was a totally corrupted evil child and he was delighted with himself. He was one of the happiest people I've seen in a while. So naturally I burst into song and this is called Taxco Steps.

He is an incredible guitar player for sure. When I watch him play I can't help thinking he must be borderline autistic, he seems to enter another world when he plays. Almost beyond human. I guess all great artists have to be.

Epic. As usual it's an acoustic player showing the way. Check out Tommy Emmanuel too if you haven't already. Leo is awesome, inspirational and makes me go play. 28 years now and I'm not even close to this guy. Play on guitar heads.

Unblievable. Can never listen to this one too much. His tone is so clear and punchy.
