Re: Mysterious Leonard Cohen "1967 studio sessions" album - any information?

...When searching the forum I was somewhat astonished that I could not find any posts discussing this '1967 Copyright Collection'. Is there any reason for this? In my opinion it is a remarkable collection of songs showing Cohen working in the studio on the songs. It should be released officially. W...

...would it be possible to have the name of that software? It's part of the Windows 11 operating system: I just save my pictures to "Pictures", and the Windows software provides various options for resizing, and all sorts of other things. i read an article some time ago suggesting that a ...

Re: never-ending gallery

... is there such a thing as a part-time introvert, i wonder!... Yes, indeed, there is: an ambivert. P.S. I am glad that you are no longer lonely, and that you have the friends and the popularity that you value and desire. It is always nice when a person can live as they wish, whatever or however t...

Re: never-ending gallery

… being with friends takes up the lion's share of most days. it is difficult to say no when they ask for company. in any case, reading books (not to mention writing them) is generally for introverts, people with few contacts. it is a pleasurable but lonely pastime - also time consuming. i think thi...

Re: Songs for Suzanne Feb 5 Melbourne

[paraphrased, in duplicate, what was written by another person 2 years ago] I am curious: why do you make posts like this? What is the point of resurrecting old threads simply to paraphrase something that somebody else wrote, often many years ago (this particular example is one of the more recent t...

... 'fantastique' coming through the speakers. the symphony was not too bad, but as is often the case, especially with classical music, maybe needs repeated listening before one can appreciate it properly. i also read about it on wikipedia... That's nice that you listened to the Symphonie Fantastiq...

Re: One Very Underrated Song from Every Leonard Cohen Album

Well, these types of lists must be 'flavour of the month' :) If I remember rightly, at least one of the songs mentioned is a certain forum member's album favourite ;-) Oh, yay, another list! Not sure if I am the forum member you are thinking of, but I resemble that remark regarding Ballad of the Ab...

Re: never-ending gallery

...of berlioz's life and work know next to nothing... Berlioz was quite a character! A good place to start in his music is his "Symphonie Fantastique" -- it is one of his most famous pieces, which is very enjoyable, and comes complete with its own semi-autobiographical story! It is an ins...

...as for shelley, he too had a guitar. never played it though, simply gave it to an appreciative girlfriend. we will never know for sure, but part of paganini's ' allegro maestoso ' (1st concerto) could possibly have inspired leonard cohen to write a couple of sentences in one of his novels... in ...

I have undoubtedly mentioned this before in coversations about Paganini, but I shall mention it again, because I think that it is interesting: in addition to being a virtuouso violinist and writing a lot of violin music, for which he is most famous, Paganini was also an exceptional c...

Re: Buffy Sainte-Marie

It was not a brush off. Yes, there are multiple issues here. One of which is how indigenous people accept new members as full members with full rights and privileges. I hope you can see the options with which others are more open to accepting new family members. The Massachusetts Historical Society...
