Earlier this year, the Louisville Leopard Percussionists captured the attention of millions with their YouTube video (over 4 million views) of the group covering the Led Zeppelin classic tune "Kashmir." The performance even earned praise from Led Zep guitarist Jimmy Page, who shared it on Facebook.
The youngsters are once again getting noticed for a dazzling rock rendition (this time of "Crazy Train"), which caught the attention of another famous rocker — Ozzy Osbourne.
As reported by the Courier-Journal of Louisville, Osbourne was so moved by the performance of his song that he wrote them a check for $10,000 in support, along with this note:
"Myself, my whole family and my fans all loved your rendition of 'Crazy Train.' Keep up the good work."
