What a beautiful story. How beautifully written. I was with you, right there, meeting Leonard for the first time. Life is good.

What a thing to say! you could knock me over with a feather if Leonard said that to me,when this tour finishes Leonard should open a charm school for rock stars,God knows most of them could do with a little help :D


Great story

Hello,

I'm new here, this is my first message.

My name is Susanne...

OMG, this message almost brought tears to my eyes.
About a month ago I lived something very similar but with a different artist who I admire a lot!

Things happend for a reason & it was your time & your GF's time to meet him.

You described everything so well, I'm so happy for you, thank you for sharing such great experience!

:D

One of the great details of it is that all of you tried to figure out to what kind of place in Austin would Leonard go... and then there you were and there was he :D .
