I sat next to some very friendly forum members one of whom started singing along to songs very early in the concert. I, being a grumpy old man, had an initial thought that I had driven along way to hear Leonard, not the person sitting next to me, sing. However this thought was a fleeting one , this...

I don't think I have been made to feel unwelcome to the forum, though Row J on Tuesday is a different matter. One or two views expressed to seem a little stuffy though.

Morning all -- just joined your forum, as we went to the show yesterday. I would pretty much echo most of the comments anyway. Leonard and the whole band were fantastic, consummate, tasteful musicianship, one wonderful song after another, "Hallelujah" restored to its rightful owner, and th...
