Well, Linda, maybe Suzie and Vickie can go off together for awhile; but when they're all rested, if the plane home is overbooked, Vickie will need to be the one to go standby. I'll put in for Suzie's ticket, if need be, to ensure that :wink: .

Hi, Lizzy. :-)
I guess you wrote to me?
:wink:

Yes this site only gets better and better.
I really like the "Blackening pages" and off course, the lyrics section.
Also some of the inspirational arts from people, are almost astonishing. And very funny to see.

The truth is, that my discovery of Leonard Cohen is absolutely fresh. :-)
I loaded some songs from the net, and find them beautiful, lyrically "kind-of-speaking", and with a "fresh" feeling. And I also like Cohens way of singing. 8)
So, in short time, a bought almost all of the studio-records.
I have not explored his writing in a deeper term, yet.

This webiste I found by searching for "Leonard Cohen" on google.com.

Have a nice day!

Lizzy: I am not sure, that I remember exactly which songs, but I think it was "Chelsea hotel#2", "I'm your man", "A thousand kisses deep", ""Hallelujah". Maybe one of them, maybe all. :wink:

Events? That sound nice. :-)

I was looking a time yesterday at photographs from Hydra Island, were there was a couple of people around the world having a nice time. :D

I must lie down where all the ladders start
In the foul rag and bone shop of the heart
