Love isn't a disease and doesn't require a cure. Marriage cures infatuation, we often find.

Well, there have to be a few stragglers, right? And anyway, out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it is still September 21.

So I'll just say, "Hauʻoli lā hānau, Leonard Kahuna!"

Thank you so much for all you have given us and continue to give us. My life without your songs would not be the same life at all, and my life without the friends I've made because of your songs would even more not be the same life.

I hope you had a very happy birthday, with many more to follow!

With love from

Well darn it all I am a few days late! Hope you had a wonderful birthday and I really hope you tour again soon. I have never had the pleasure of seeing you perform any songs live –(only seen you in Conversation With in Toronto –earlier this year) and in the hotel on several occasions. So here’s to hoping that our paths cross in the future!! Hopefully I will be able to experience that warm, and sincere smile of yours once again.

A la prochaine fois

It looks like a statue of a rock star carved in the rock.

Conclusion it looks like a pleonasm (I mean "rock" and "star" of course).




P.S. : I saw this poster of Amnesty International this week-end :

At first, I thought it was from L. Cohen. It has a stunning effect. Powerfully artistic. It was from Picasso.

I don't have time right now to find the card Cohen made, if my memory is good, to help the children of the wars in the world.

Belated Happy Birthday to Leonard. I decided to host a tribute evening of music and song last weekend to celebrate the musical genius of the man - it was a great evening - over 50 people turned up! I may post some photos whenever I get around to it. I am extremely interested by a recent comment from one of the forum members who refers to Leonard coming to the UK next year - Is there a plan I am not aware of? :shock: :D

Happy Birthday Leonard! It's incredible how fast the years go by, but I guess that's just the way it is. However, let there be many more birthdays to come!

Greetings from a sunny London

Thanks Jarkko, no, not this one. It was a bird, the subject, for the one I have in mind.
