For some reason, I did a search on Youtube for Leroy Bach.
Here is some video that I found, recorded at The Rainbo in Chicago.
Here is the link. Perhaps someone else knows how to post this properly so the video player pops up. I’m actually too lazy to figure it out.

Leroy will be on The Late Show with David Letterman on Friday night.
Leroy has joined Iron & Wine for their upcoming tour and they will be on Letterman Friday night. Actually, it was taped this past Monday but airs Friday.
I know all this because Iron & Wine’s manager, Howard, is our neighbor. His daughter plays with my daughter. His wife and my wife talk shit about us behind our backs and, actually, right to our faces.
I guessIron & Wine needed another multi-instrumentalist and my neighbor Howard thought of Leroy and by chance, he was not presently engaged and decided to join up. I don’t know if it’s a longterm thing or not.
Other interesting former C-U music people living on my street are Phil Rockrohr and Brian Krumm of The Great Crusades, a band whom Brian Leach is a member.

Leroy garbage picked a Farfisa organ or keyboard or whatever it is called. I think he saw a guy pushing it down the street in a shopping cart? Maybe he paid $25 for it. I can’t remember if we ever got it working, but as you can see, we did get it taken apart. Galva was doing all the actual fixing attemps. I think I was just fiddling. Leroy took this picture in the office of Propaganda. Click on it to see it bigger. Check out the awesome old Mac on the desk. That’s where Galva worked on the accounting program for two or three years without ever actually doing any accounting. I think the most use that thing got was when we used it to play Risk for hours on end.
