Thanks Hugo!

Dear Maarten, Thanks for a quick decision, however sad it may be. Regarding the new date for the event: I am fine either way (2021 or 2022). I suppose it also depends on the willingness of venues etc to postpone bookings with no or a minimum of charges (2021 may be more palatable to them than 2022),...

Hi Hugo,

You must have ordered the last one, as they are now out of stock..... But they'll be back.

So not all is lost, good news. I will also re-instate my order, but wait until it is confirmed.

I asked them whether the project was cancelled and, if so, what I had to do to get reimbursed. They replied that they had now cancelled my order and will reimburse the amount. A little ambiguous because they didn't refer to the project being cancelled, just my order. Anyway, I assume that the whole ...

Dear Eva,

Many thanks for organising this wonderful event. Your hard work paid off!

I am already looking forward to meeting you and other Cohenites on Hydra next year.

I just registered, and looking forward to meeting you all again. Thanks Eva!

Forever with us despite the distance put between......

A belated, but well-meant Happy Birthday, Jarkko!

How grateful I am for having known Leonard's songs through all these decades and for still enjoying and being inspired by them to this day. My sympathies to Leonard's family and his countless friends all over the world.

A Big Thanks to Leonard and his management for allowing us to listen to the fantastic new album, and of course to those who made it happen (Wijbe, Willy, Jarkko, Liesbeth, and all those who organised the event). The first listen made me place the atmosphere of "You want it darker" alongside my favou...
