Dear Leonard, Happy 80th Birthday. Wishing you a wonderful day. Thank you for the memories.
It was suggested to me that we could all have the same profile photo on Facebook, in celebration of your special day by the lovely Maria Viana. She asked me to create an image we could use. This is what I came up with using the cover of Popular Problems for inspiration.
Lots of love, always, from Gwen

To me, fair friend,
you can never be
old,
For as you were
when first your
eye I eye’d,
Such seems your beauty
still.

Léonard, you say that, in your family, you carry hardly attention on birthdays.
Neverthless it is the opportunity, for me, to thank you for having accompanied me, since for so long, on the difficult way of the life.
I wish you an excellent health, many moments of happiness, enjoyments in family and with your friends.
Continue to make us share your poetry and your music.
You have all my respect and my admiration.

Happy Birthday dearest Leonard! Thank you for so many special times and giving me wonderful happy memories which will stay with me forever. I wish you good health and all the happiness in the world. You inspire me and you make me smile - thank you. Eternal love, Karen xxx

Dear Leonard,
mazel tov and like 20 till 100.

A very happy birthday to you. I take today the opportunity to thank you for all your words, poems, music and love. You are an important teacher to me, the most important. I am deeply grateful to have had the possibility to attend your concerts and have met you and so hope, I have the chance to meet you again.

I like to tell you a little story. I visited last year my father for his 96th birthday. And, of course, I bought him some flowers. You know, what he said?: Flowers! I love them, but a l l bring flowers, no one brings some cigars! This in mind and also in mind your wish that you d like to start smoking when you are 80, I tried to build the akropolis for you with the cigaretts, I failed pretty much, but at least there is a silver tablet.
I stopped smoking 22years ago and still miss it every day, unfortunately I can t bring you flowers, nor would I love to see you smoking again, but pretty much on stage... but I hope you like this little photo a bit.



wish you a wonderful day and great year ahead.

be blessed, healthy and creative

love from Berlin
