Well, my friends - have fun (of course, you will!), enjoy the meetup, and the concert!! In my thoughts, I will be with you...

Of course they are!! Or what do you think whose hand this is in the picture?! (And, no, no photoshopping or anything...)

AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA. Now that makes more numbers for AUSTRALIA (preferably BRISBANE). It's getting too cold now in Europe & UK anyway. The weather here is beautit...

... but is it calling soft enough?!

Leonard's spirit will be making an appearance in all countries, at all times. Yeah, absolutely; but still, being the immodest person I am, a "real" concert is something that I personally would go for any time, if at all possible... Preferrably in Western Australia, or in Krakow?! But do n...

Right now, it would be "Chelsea Hotel", any version - funny, not even an all-time favourite of mine, such as "Famous Blue Raincoat", "Avalanche", "Dress Rehearsal Rag", "Dance Me" or "Take This Waltz" are. But still, I just cannot stop list...

There is a review from an eminent Australian newspaper ("'Weekend Australian") here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=15910&start=255#p203069

How about what ladydi and a certain other forum authority - I am not going to mention his name, but he is German and he is a senior member, a moderator and a celebrity credited by Leonard himself on stage in Barcelona - have mentioned as something to be rather likely, i.e. some more Australian dates...

As Ann said here about George, http://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=15910&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=240#p201951, and anyone who has met George, knows it was because of him that everything was so normal. Mary you are the luckiest woman alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lo...

Yes - wonderful, being reminded of all that Cromwell business makes the fact that the body of Jeremy Bentham is on public display in University College, London, seem almost normal...

I was listening to Master Song again recently, and I have to say I think all of that song is exquisitely pronounced. Quite breathy, but very precise, like he's reciting poetry (which it is). 'And he never once made you explain or talk about all of the little details' The way he says 'talk' in that ...

I've been feeling very fed up at work because I'm about to be made redundant, and today was no exception. On my way home, walking along the Tube platform, this caught my eye (yes, I took a photo, ignoring the glares of my fellow commuters!): http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8585/lencomp.jpg Seeing Le...

Oh, "happy" by all means - but in my case, on that evening, "drunk" is even more like it... And it seems that that was the only evening really when people got their cameras out. Typical, isn't it...

I admit I was looking for a catch-phrase as a topic heading... But, honestly, if I could choose freely, it would be "drinking Chardonnay and listening to Leonard"!

For those of you who are interested to get a glimpse of the (long lost), but long-standing tradition of Jewish day-to-day life before 1939, especially in mainly Jewish Kazimierz:
