Leigh attended many events at The Vault, where she was honored for "Best Poet" and for "Best Song" in their annual awards ceremonies. Here's Leigh photographed by the host of The Vault, Tone Bellizzi.
Leigh spends time up in rural Connecticut, and this photo is
by her long-time lead guitarist,
Bobby Perfect.
Leigh's photo session with William Coleman yielded many studio shots of her, including this one, in
a hot pink sparkle tunic.
Leigh performed some of her original songs at a concert in the summer of 1981, during the Forest Hills Festival, held along Continental Avenue. Among the other performers were the NYC H.S. Jazz All-Star Band.
