Re: Random LC moment I am adoring today

I was just looking at the local Australian TV guide for tonight and came across a movie who's title was familiar to me for the reason it was an introduction to Leonard's music for many people. It features both Hallelujah and First We Take Manhattan. Also it has some other good songs - See here - ht...

Not knowing H-burns, but with Pomme participating, this must be something good.

Re: Avalanche Quartet - Livestream 2nd of May

Nice to hear those songs that were not in the recent tours any more ; travelling lady, the window, you know who i am ... Henk Hofstede was singing songs he really loved, one can feel that : he was opening his soul, allowing us to feel his own vulnerability. I hope to see the quartet some day, and sa...

Re: First We Take A Manhattan Then We Take A Berliner (weisse 2017)

does it taste as nice as it looks? (the label and the beer itself are nice enough - but i don't like clear glass for beer)

Re: Who by Fire by First Aid Kit (tribute album)

Long time ago, on "the scandinavian report", there was a version of "Suzanne" by Christel Alsos that did not find much appreciation by one of the most senior members of this forum. I agreed with him, and hope he will be more pleased with this new version ; to me, it's o.k., this ...

Re: Looking for an axplanation for "Seems so long ago Nancy

this is one of many good reasons to come back to this forum "now and then" : people who pick up threads that live on for many years ; seeing people who, like real good friends do, reply to words from someone they've perhaps never met, but helping other people get better understanding of so...

Re: Symphonic tribute to Leonard Cohen

mooi concert, maar ik had eigenlijk gehoopt dat het in het Fries zou gezongen zijn ; als je de begeleidende tekst leest, dan merk je hoe mooi die taal eigenlijk wel is (en hoeveel het lijkt op ons westvlaams, als je het uitgeschreven ziet)
bedankt voor deze tip

Re: EVENT RESCHEDULED TO 2022

well, that's all right, i'll just have more time to get used to being retired, and perhaps lend a hand here and there, if practical help is needed. One can only hope that the bank will not charge "negative interest" on your account, as organising things is not going to get less expensive.

Re: New 1970-1971 recordings available on Apple Music

the receiving and sending of those recordings was probably as important as the recordings themselves, to me : i have even kept the envelopes, with "exotic"stamps from "all over the world", because the sender of one more live concert recording was a real person, who had taken the ...

Re: CONCERT REPORT: Auckland, New Zealand – December 21, 2013

Today is 21 December 2020. Here downunder, tonight is the 7th anniversary of this Auckland 2013 concert. As we know it was the very last ever concert for Leonard and today I inexplicably felt the need to commemorate it. I was offered a front row seat to this concert by a kind and thoughtful Canadia...

Re: New 1970-1971 recordings available on Apple Music

i can't download anything from these recordings, here, in belgium. Could anyone, anywhere else, buy the whole collection of these albums for me? '69 was my first Leonard Cohen year, so the sound of these years is very special to me. Thank you very much in advance.
