Leonard's Birthday

Post by leonardmtl »

Leonard will be turning 74 while on tour in Bucharest next month and I wonder if there will be a birthday celebration planned by the tour managers. Maybe it will be a surprise, maybe just spontaneous. Certainly it must be recognized. Maybe Jarkko has some inside information.

In any case, an auspicious moment for an icon we all feel a warm connection to.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to see the joy in Leonard's face when he blows out the candles!!!

I don't think that Jarkko has any information about a birthday party. But I know for sure that he has his own birthday party today.

Perhaps the moderators should start a new thread = happy birthday Jarkko.

Anyway, happy birthday Jarkko and thank you for making all of this possible...

I hope you have a great day.

Going back to the subject matter - Leonard's birthday; I am sure many of Leonard's "fans" have thought how great it would be to be in Bucharest on that day (I know I have) but the inevitable problem is getting the tickets!


My best wishes to all.

Aaargh, I'll be on the wrong thread again...
Hylton-the inevitable problem would be getting yourself here! About the tickets, I said it many times before, I'd love to help. Having Cohen here, for the first time ever (and probably last), and on his birthday, is incredible for me; and nothing would make me more happy than to have more people sharing that.

Warmest Birthday Wishes Jarkko. It was wonderful to see you and Eija in Edmonton. I hope I will be able to attend another gathering before Krakow. Maybe see you both during LC's US tour or perhaps Hydra?!

Big hug and enjoy your day,

Dar
