Ha! :lol:

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

Still, I like it. :)

LOLOL. I guess Woody's nephew was overflowing with hope, and hope to share when he preens and feathers fall.

Great line... ! Who knows what all is in Woody's brain...

Thank you everyone for responses and enquiries !

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 !

Best Regards

I have no doubt of that, Phillip.
I just hope he's well, and I'd love to hear him play with Leonard, again.

Here's a bit about a gig that Bob Metzger was scheduled to play in June of this year with Vince Thompson in Connecticut.

And an interview with Vince Thompson where he mentions Bob Metzger having joined his band. I think this is from this month, but it's hard to tell.

Vince Thompson's a lucky guy. Bob's musicianship is wonderful.

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.
