I have had to let 24 hours pass by to ensure that I was not hallucinating and tell you all I met Mr. Cohen walking discreetly in Dublin yesterday morning.
I was walking along Lr Abbey Street [for those who know Dublin!!] at 8.45am yesterday heading to work full of LC thoughts and the excitement of the weekend concerts [going Saturday and Sunday]. This debonair immaculately dressed man with a magnificent hat passed me by. I stopped dead in my tracks, did a double take and realised that I had just passed by an icon whose work I have adored for the past 40 years!!! Mr. Leonard Cohen walking quietly along a Dublin Street.
He turned into a side street and I ran after him. I introduced myself and quite honestly turned into a blubbering mess!!!. I welcomed him to Dublin, thanked him for all the enjoyment he brought into my life over the years and told him how very much I was looking forward to his concerts. He thanked me and showing great humour and concern for his Irish audience enquired of me what if it rains at the concert? --he obviously was very acquainted with the vagaries of the Irish weather!!--I told him I would get him a large umbrella and he laughed!!!--I asked him if I could help him with directions but he politely told me that 'he just likes to check out the city himself ‘. We shook hands said goodbye and I continued on into work in a daze!!!
And they say Friday 13th is unlucky!!--not for me --I will saviour those few personal words I had with Leonard yesterday for the rest of my life
Best wishes to all and enjoy the treat in store for us tonight and tomorrow night

Re: Dublin (June 13-15)
Just got back from the ererald isle (to yorkshire, england) and no he isn't hoarse and BOY can he sung....................just the most amazing concert ever. It took him a 45 mins encore (3 times he tried to leave) to get off the stage and he certainly did dance me to the end of love.
Re: Dublin (June 13-15)
An amazing sound altogether - the Webb Sisters and Sharon were superb.
Re: Dublin (June 13-15)

Re: Dublin (June 13-15)
Details! Details! I want details please!!! Did he alter the set list? How did he look? What did he say? I'm going tonight and I can't wait. By the way, what's the food like? I'm thinking of waiting until I got to the concert to eat something.
