Wishing you a very happy and restful 80th birthday, Leonard. Your music consistently provides joy, humour, consolation and illumination. Your live shows are perfection. If there are more (and, selfishly, I hope there will be), I'll definitely be in the audience!

Dear Leonard,
For this very special morning
I wish you a hummingbird on your shoulder
whispering 'happy birthday' in your ear,
its wings murmuring love words like silk
Silence
and a deeper silence
when the crickets
hesitate

Have a happy one Leonard, I cannot thank you enough for all the pleasure your concerts and music have given me over the years. How wonderful it would be to visit Hydra and sit on the bench we have comissioned, to find you sitting there too contemplating the ocean! Hope we can see you tour again and I can't wait for the new music.

Happy 80th Birthday Leonard! :D

Your journey through life, as reflected in a significant way through everything you have provided us over the years, has enriched my life... it has resonated deeply with me, helped me understand myself better, reaffirmed what is important to me. 8)

Thank you so much and enjoy your day in whatever way you choose to.

Warmest regards and best wishes for the future,
Andrew D. :)

Hello, Mr.Cohen. I want you knew that tomorrow, saturday, in Carabanchel (neighborhood in the south of Madrid city), a group of fans and friends will celebrate your birthday. You are sincerely invited. The celebration will be in Bar Caravaca (Virgen de Belén Street, number 29; from 10:00 pm till 01:00 am). It woul have reserved a site and a seat for you during all night (the Cohen Corner), with a hat and a glass of wine. At 12 o'clock, birthday cake (chocolate sacher) and champagne. When you want it, Mr. Cohen.

Millions of hugs from Spain. And thank you for all, dear Leonard.

Dearest Leonard,
Congratulations and G-d´s blessings to your 80th birthday. I wish you to feel always the love and peace in your heart, that lives always there and that there is peace and love in the hearts of the people who surround you. And my heartfelt wish is that you are doing in your coming year this what is good for you, go on tour or not, create a new album or do nothing at all.

With deep love
Doris
And all I´ve said
was just instead of
Coming back to you.
