Oops, thanks for the late greetings, I was a bit surprised to see the thread active again. I still haven't found my useful place here, but maybe I will.

So do I, Lizzy,
so do I!

Al Purdy: "Well, I admire Cohen a great deal. Having no voice whatever, his voice sounds great. A bit like Margaret Atwood, I've always thought. When I first heard him sing "Suzanne" by the river in Montreal, girls passed out a mile from where his voice was decibelling." From: &q...

Thanks, Lizzie and Tom, I just thought the signature looked different somehow. You are right, Lizzie, hoping the best. Maybe there are people like that in the world... I hope there are, too. Like people enjoying vinyl records...
Kind regards, you all!

Hello,
sorry, a singable German version is another thing...
Yes, I think your translation works perfectly for that.
Like to hear the result!

He's Canadian, but, sorry, look at the photos...
Worth another invention, Tom?

Does anybody write this down in German?, ForYourSmile asked. Sure, why not, although some lines will be loooong... "Ich frage mich, wie viele Menschen in dieser Stadt in möblierten Zimmern leben wenn ich spät in der Nacht die Gebäude betrachte schwöre ich, dass mir aus jedem Fenster ein Gesicht...

On the first day he made the sky and the mountains and the ravines of the soul. On the second day he made the rivers, the seas, the oceans as well as ...

Thanks, Tom.
I posted that strange eBay-offer for sale now in the other thread. Possibly not the same but from the same hand, I'd judge.
Not worth discussing, so just thanks for your answer!

Hi, MonkOverBook,
Koblenz is close. Thanks for the welcome.
Hope I'll find a way to make myself useful here.
Helau, Alaaf (anything like that for Munich?), greetings...

Hi to you, Lizzy, I just logged in again because even if it is here 3.17 in the morning I am still around. Of course I prefer vinyl. I never re-bought a single record I have on CD. Yes, the records are crackling a bit now, but that is the sound I grew up to. And now after years it is again possible ...

Hi, Lizzy, good question. I think it was SWF radio, they had special broadcasts on sunday nights dedicated singers/songwriters then (must date back about 30 years), the niche is long gone, it was a nice place to discover the politically important Germans as well, ah, tempi passati. Anyway, I got hoo...

Sorry if there is one and I didn't find it.
So: I'm the new kid in town, German, 39 years old, listening to L.C. since I found out that I had ears.
I was a lurker here for about three days, that was enough to make me join.
Congratulations for the forum and the members, read you later,
