Hate to nit-pick, but I feel obligated to set the record straight here. Harmonica maestro Leo Diamond is no relation to Neil Diamond. Neil Diamond's father was named Akeeba (aka Kieve,) and he was in the dry goods business.

Where did you get this info Tom? Did it come from a book? Can it be verified?
It definitely is NOT nit-picking. Leo did have a son (and a daughter too I believe). I was only 4 years old and it was my older sister who knew the Diamond kids. Possibly their son is a different Neil? Also I believe that Chris Bauer had stated at one time the Neil's father was Leo.
It sure would be nice to straighten it out, as it's VERY important to me.
