Are you here, sir or madame? It’s The Paul Leslie Hour and I want to know…are you here gentle listener?

I’ll tell you right now, this interview with internationally renowned painter William Buffett was recorded on tape in Nashville, Tennessee. More precisely, the short interview was captured on cassette tape. That tape was then broadcast on the radio. And now, you kind folks are able to listen on a variety of platforms…all for free.

Our special guest William Buffett is an artist whose paintings of New Orleans Jazz musicians and tropical and coastal landscapes have been reproduced and made popular around the world. So, you should know William Buffett was born in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1935 and graduated from the Art Center College of Design in Southern California. The shores of the Pacific Ocean with picturesque palm trees and glimpses of the sea have always dominated his artwork. He became interested in New Orleans Jazz in his youth and New Orleans jazz players went on to become a lasting subject in his paintings. 

It is our pleasure to feature an interview with William Buffett--an artistic genius with something to say. Looking at his paintings you can almost feel the breezes of the ocean or hear the sounds of the jazz bands down in New Orleans. Stay tuned for William Buffett's fascinating story.
