Re: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hello, thank you Jarkko and Eija. For keeping the Forum alive in a world that seems at present to be adrift. For the forum members who keep the conversation going, the channels open. Love and peace, love thy neighbour. The simple seems so difficult. Sleep well tonight and may 2024 awaken to hints of...

Re: New Book on Leonard - Absent Friend
Hi, If there is an advantage in having Covid then it must be the time to catch up on a pile of books to be read. Absent Friend was one that was slipping down the league table! I've heard John on the radio many times down the years and his voice, and intonation infuse his writing. What a wonderful re...

Re: David Lindley RIP
Hi, Thanks for that B4Real and LisaLCFan Yes indeed. Rest in Peace, David. Be it solo, El Ray X or with Cooder, Zevon or Jackson Browne I loved your sound. I saw him on tv recently backing Linda Ronstadt in concert. The first clip is with Ry Cooder, Joachim Cooder, Bobby King: https://www.youtube.co...

Re: Happy Holidays, Friends!
Hi, Appropriately chastened, Dar. Late getting Christmas cards out and presents together. But now hours before Santa arrives it is good to thank Eija for the beautiful image, redolent with the possibility of peace that this year has not really provided. But also to thank Jarkko and team for providin...

Re: new book on LC by John MacKenna
Hi B4Real,
Thanks for posting this. I look forward to reading John's novel. I wonder if there are hopes/intentions to resurrect Requiem and perform it again?
All the best,
merton

Hi , I noticed this on Expecting Rain today : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2U1R-kVFx4&ab_channel=Forward Allow me a memory at this point. On Denise's twitter site there is a link to Richard Manuel's archive site which looks great. It brought me back to early 1986 - I was at the final The Ban...

Hi, I can think of quite a few Leonard Cohen archivists attached to this forum who might be interested in the obituary below. Sad but true, the Obituaries in The Guardian every Saturday make for uplifting and sometimes awe-inspiring moments. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/jun/26/pete-long-ob...

Re: Music You're Listening To
Hi B4Real, My cello teacher is right as usual. Read the piece before you try playing it she keeps telling me. :D Likewise with Forum posts, I suppose. I'll keep an eye out. Hopefully, it will turn up for you. Perhaps in a lifetime or two, I'll be able to play the cello on this piece, maybe you on vi...
