You've been my valued companion in many reflective, joyous, and yes, dark moments. Thank-you Leonard, thank-you, thank-you. May you find the peace that so often eluded you.

A said news for me. He was alway one of my favorite artists, from way back when I was growing up in Poland.

Perhaps his most misunderstood song...his paean to profane, not sacred love, in all it's glory and pain...

Leon at 1960's had bought a 3 floor house, made of stone and mud, for 1500 $ at Hydra island,
he lived there till lately,
the House was not connected with electricity and water,
so he payed to bring him water to fill the tank.
or he carrird it himshelf

Exceptional mood creation.

How fitting now is the "Closing Time".

He broke down on stage singing that song, and couldn't face performing another one, but the audience wouldn't leave. They said they knew all the words to his songs, and they'd sing to him. He did a heart-broken and heart-breaking performance of Bird on A Wire backstage.
