This "thing with feathers" is calling for this kind of destiny! I wonder how many jokes deliver the sweetie from its rib cage.
Still, I like it.

In posting the question I was wondering how that man Bob Metzger is doing -
I mean he played (like Mitch Watkins) over DECADES and many hundrets of concerts on Leonards side the guitar
Obviously, as it seems - Mr. Metzger is now invisible
I am surprised and somehow wondered that this is possible in these times-
I hope that - if he likes to - Bob Metzger possibly can enjoy a Leonard Cohen Concert front row audience view !

Bob Metzger is a really fine guitarist and I miss his playing very much. It is good to see he is wearing his Unified Hearts jacket.

Watching this makes me miss his playing even more.
Thanks for the clip, Jarkko.
I'm glad to see he's doing well; yet would love to see him on Leonard's stage, again.
