Hello Cohenities

In several videos I noticed that Mr. Cohen played with an wood chain where an cross could be found at the end. Does anybody know why he uses this or how something is called?

Here the video where I noticed it (at the end)

The second question:

In this video for example you can see LC talking about poetry and there are german subtitles and its from a film called "Bird on a wire" from 1972. The channel of the uploader show more of this film...
My question: Does anybody know what an film this is and where I might get it?


Thank you very much for helping me

I appreciate your hard work in this forum

Love to the Master:)

Have a nice Weekend

Hi Buster 1536, the beads you refer to are 'komboloi' and you can read discussion about them :

and here:

Also, the film you ask about is 'Bird on a wire'- a documentary, by Tony Palmer, of Leonard's 1972 world tour. See here:

The film has never been released on vhs or dvd.There was some discussion here:

I hope this helps.
