You are welcome! :) Here is the interview, Javier is very nice, a perfect match with Leonard. The way he says Leonard makes sure "he is allright". :D http://www.uncut.co.uk/music/leonard_cohen/special_features/12410 And, surprisingly, Javier Mas has a Myspace page (with an email address) :...

I just read an interview with Javier Mas on how grateful he is to perform with the master whose songs he was playing on the guitar when he was 15, so I guess the band members are his great fans too! I was not there at the Budapest concert, so I am collecting tidbits from other sources. :) I am happy...

Zdravo! Both names are good for me! How was Leonard in Belgrade? He does not look tired, incredible the workload he can take!

Late night owl you as well? Greetings to the neighbours from Budapest

Cheers to all of you from Budapest!

Oh, jay, thank you very much, I really enjoyed that :lol: A great picture indeed, you can see how he pays attention to people and listens. I wonder what they spoke about! "Staying in Venice for long, Mister? Business or pleasure?" "Both, I would say. A few thousand people are waiting ...

Dear Friends, An article was published in one of the Hungarian musical portals about yesterday's event. This is not a word for word translation, I summarized the main points, tried to focus on the unique ones. The link (Hungarian version, with pictures) http://quart.hu/cikk.php?id=4111 " The mu...

LC on gondola? Wow, it sounds exciting! I don't recall seeing that pic.

You are very kind, thank you! I love it when he sings with that deep involvement!

I hope you don't mind if I share another one.This is a portrait I drew some weeks ago. It is not a particularly good drawing, I just loved the original picture.
