Author, keynote speaker, pianist and "sixth Rolling Stone," Georgia resident Chuck Leavell has remained one of pop music's most respected and sought-after pianists for the past 30 years. Although Leavell has been with The Rolling Stones for 20 years, he has also garnered critical acclaim for his solo projects and is recognized for his contributions to numerous works with high profile artists, including Eric Clapton, The Black Crowes, George Harrison, Aretha Franklin, The Allman Brothers Band, The Indigo Girls, Blues Traveler, Train and many
more. In addition to his musical expertise, Leavell has established himself as a respected author and keynote speaker about forestry and conservation. His book, Forever Green: The History And Hope Of The American Forest, is now in it's second printing in the U.S. and is being translated and released in Germany in late 2004. He and his wife Rose Lane were named National Outstanding Tree Farmers of the Year in 1999.

Wait. Chuck Leavell "the sixth Rolling Stone"? Chuck LEavell "of the Rollling Stones"?? If Chuck becomes a Stone we all should burn our Stones records in a big pile playing Beatle records. I for one will do that.

Yeah that's funny. Now gears have switched...from Keith bashing to Chuck bashing...next on to Mick bashing and it all ends in a wild and frenzied Rolling Stones record burning orgy by hardcore fans.

I must admit an odd pleasure in Chuck-bashing, but, in the spirit of the holiday season, I will refrain. |

I like Chuck. His playing is a bit much but he's the guy who gets them going & he seems like a nice guy. And his work with trees is obviously a good thing. |

wherever I find a chuck-bashing post, I feel obligated to be the voice of reason:
1) Chuck is cool
2) Chuck can play with the best of 'em
3) Chuck is one of the main reasons the Stones are still doing it
