Keeping ringing the bell. 79 is the new 40. Which is the old 60. Or something with numbers.
We miss you. AG

Dear Mr. Cohen, as we all know (both those of us who have been eagerly watching concert videos from this tour, and those lucky enough to have been present in your audiences) you have already been planning that event. I know you will carry it out with panache. However, a piece of good theater deserves a sequel, so I commend to you the example of the ukulele player, Bill Tapia, whose doctor told him he should stop smoking if he wanted to live a long life. He did so, at age 83, and lived for another 20 years. Here is a YouTube video of him teaching a ukulele lesson at 101 years of age: http://youtu.be/BrxzOh1yvrQ

Happy birthday, Leonard. May the blessings find you no matter how many frequent-flyer miles they have to rack up, and may you long enjoy the work of your hands. It is a wonder to us all. I am so glad you exist.

Dear Leonard,

Your music soothes my aching bones; Your poetry help me survive the abyss that is swallowing me. I don't think I can possibly express how much you have helped me, and how truly grateful I am.

I send you the warmest of wishes on your day. I hope it will be most joyful and rewarding. Bless you and happy birthday!

Happy birthday,dear Leonard!
Going home at 24.00 hrs or celebrating with us in Amsterdam?
Don't find the hook and keep your gloves on for many years during your smoking tour.
Thank you so much for your generosity, the humour and beauty. How could we live without?
Many happy returns, Christine

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEONARD... You will only be 79 years young (you have caught me up now)

Was it George Burns said "If I had known I was going to live this long I would have looked after myself"
Thank you for keeping us all satisfied over the years and still working for our smiles.

On the 21st of September, in Luxembourg I will raise a glas of good italian red wine wishing you good health.
On that day, the love of all your fans will fly over the world and surround you with so much warmth.
May your birthday be full of joy.
Thank you so very much for the beauty you offer us over all these years.
