Those were great, Kush! Thanks for posting them.

After 3 years, I'm still thinking of this poem. I still haven't ordered the Époisses cheese, but in our quarantine thought about ordering it today. I wanted to mention that Professor Faggen is an expert on Melville and particularly Moby Dick which explains some of the references in the poem. Anne &a...

Hi Cohenfan2020, I sincerely hope you can visit the beautiful city of Montreal. His grave in the Jewish Montreal cemetery is close to one of the gates so look through the gates until you see the Unified Heart headstone. His childhood home is still there and near the park where he found the Spanish F...

As a side note, our friend Mark who is an hotel manager in Manhatten isn't responding to my voice mails and his hotel is temporarily closed now. I'm worried about him. I know that Dick & Linda and Jarkko & Eija know him. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Yes, such a tragic loss. Anne & I along with our daughter, Katie traveled to NYC in 2003 to attend the "Came So Far For Beauty" Canada day tribute to Leonard that Dick & Linda, Bobbie, Evelyn and others I'm forgetting had dinner with Esther Cohen at an Italian Restaurant in Brookly...

RIP, Linda-you added so much to our LC world. You will be sincerely missed.

Joe

Congratulations, B4real and Hugo-brilliant answers to very difficult questions!

And thank you so much Doron for setting it up-this was much fun.

Dear Maarten,
Thank you for all your hard work. So sorry it has come to this but completely agree. We will certainly try to attend either time, and please keep our registration fees for the next time.

All the best,

Joe & Anne

Good job, Doron-there are some really tough questions.

Thank you, it will be fun.

RIP, dear Paola-we remember you well.

"The Little Prince" — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Chapter 23 "Good morning," said the little prince. "Good morning," said the merchant. This was a merchant who sold pills that had been invented to quench thirst. You need only swallow one pill a week, and you would feel no...

Happy Holidays to all. Thank you for the beautiful Ice/Tulip photos. Jarkko, both you and Eija have been in our prayers-still hoping for a full and speedy recovery.

Joe & Anne

P.S. I always love to listen to Leonard singing Silent Night. I listen every Christmas Eve as well.

Dear Doron, I certainly appreciate your concerns. I would respectfully point out that both Leonard and Adam discussed this and Adam encouraged Leonard to record the lyrics with a metronome so they could be transformed into a song. This indicates to me that Leonard wanted his finished and unfinished ...

Thank you for posting “Thrown to the Wolves,” I had not heard it before. I will definitely post about the Tom Russell concerts in “Other Music.” Anne and I are in a hotel in Chicago right now getting ready to fly to Dublin tomorrow. We’re really looking forward to seeing some of the wonderful Irish ...
