Re: What has happened to 1 Heck of a Guy?

. That's a terrible news ! boths sites are closing at the same time, in a similar manner, promising to be opened as private sites ? ....

Re: Singing priest's Hallelujah wows wedding guests

Thank you Mirka. What a beautiful voice the singer has. Can you translate it? Hello Sereneava, this is the Polish translation of the original Leonard's text by Maciej Zembaty, the poet/singer known for making Poland the country where Leonard Cohen always had huge following. This is the text always ...

Poland is a strange country indeed... Founding convention of a new political party used "Hallelujah" as a theme song. It was sung by two daughters of one of the founding members, himself a Nigerian living for the last 20 years in Poland, and a member of the Polish parliament: http://www.y...
