Hard to believe that another year has gone by. Happy Birthday, Leonard. May the coming year be filled with happiness, and may the work on your new album go smoothly.

Best wishes,

Mike

Wishing you another year of love, light, joy and music. You always seem to find the beauty in imperfection - you make us all feel beautiful. Thank you for all your gifts to us.

With gratitude,

Happy Birthday Leonard I hope you now take the time to enjoy the fruits of your labours over the last few years.

And could you give me the name of your osteopath, you have a few years on me but if I kept kneeling down like you do I would not be able to get up. :lol:

Happy birthday and many many more xxx

Well, here we are again. I can’t believe that this year has passed so quickly. A truly remarkable one for you and me. Here’s to another year of continuing good health and good fortune. Just know the high regard I have for you and your work will never diminish, it just gets stronger. Have the best ever birthday!!

Last year I decided to draw a portrait of you as a birthday present and to celebrate your Isle of Wight release. This year I thought I would do something similar; as a birthday present and also to celebrate your imminent release of Songs of the Road. In keeping with the monochromatic simplicity of the cover I wanted to do a simple sketch to compliment it – one with a feeling of anonymous familiarity.

The pencil of time has drawn lines on my face, so please forgive me if I again draw some lines on yours!

Just listen with your eyes.
