Leigh was honored for "Best Poet" and for "Best Song" at The Vault's annual awards ceremonies. Here's Leigh photographed by the host of The Vault, Tony Bellizzi.
Leigh often spends time in rural Connecticut; this photo is by her
long-time lead guitarist, Bobby Perfect.
Leigh's photo sessions in the mid-late 1980s with William Coleman yielded many studio shots of her, including this one, wearing a hot pink sparkle tunic and peep-toe heels.
Leigh performed some of her original songs at a summer concert during one of the Forest Hills Festivals in the 1980's, held along Continental Avenue. She's seen here playing her L-6 Gibson. Among the other performers were the NYC H.S. Jazz All-Star Band.

This is also from the Local 269 jam session on May 12, 2012, while Bob sings "Next Time You See Me," (written by Junior Parker), with Walter on harp and Chuck on drums. Leigh is playing her old electric blue Fender Stratocaster, and Bob is playing his candy- apple red Telecaster..
Here's Leigh and Bob at Local 269, jamming with "Lazy" Walter on harp, Chuck Hancock on drums, and Mike Berman on bass, while Les Chalimon (the band- leader of The Manhattan Blues Connection), looks on.
