What happened one year ago: The small bunch of us lonesome or less lonesome heroes or lesser heroes gathered last spring in Toledo. Which only produced the wish to repeat the waltz. What happened: Babeth and Henri invited us and all the guests came in, Ann and Bea and Caren and Ciaran and Conny and ...

Dear Henning
There is no virtue in getting older, no reason to be proud of being born.
But as there now nothing can be done about it, have party, let yourself be partied and may the party keep on all the year long, to which my wishes shall accompany you.
Harald

This same show will be performed in Bordeaux/France on 24 March 2018.
Some friends from this forum (including me) will be there.
Thanks to Babeth and Henri for alerting us.

FOLKS play LEONARD COHEN Thursday, 25 January 8 p.m. Ars Musica in Stemmerhof, Plinganserstr. 6, Munich-Sendling Many of us know FOLKS band members from different Cohen events, Claudia and Ben and Jörg (Robert on the bass has not yet attended one of our meetings).

I just second B4real and Maarten.
Thank you, Jarkko, for all you are doing on behalf of the forum and to the profit of all!

Yet, I cannot help but wonder why a number of the stalwart LC forum fans that were there will not be attending the LC tribute concert in Montreal :? Well, in my case it was a long planned holiday with my 88 years old mother at the same time, booked before the Montreal event was published and probab...

As most of you knew already and the others found out today, I do not like goodbyes.
So just thanks dear Szilvia, may you recover fast, thanks dear Eva and Tamas. Thank you all for great company on a wonderful weekend and thanks for the sometimes needed patience with me.
See you!

Some information for first timers. While one finds orientation on google maps, it´s a good idea to buy a map of the island in Hydra town. Information given dates from June 2017, mind that services may change according to the season. Hydra town is a harbour, not a beach. Of the beaches on the north c...

On Hydra you can buy a map of the island 1:25000 or 1:30000. Do so, even if they are not altogether accurate. Then there is an excellent free ebook of around 100 pages: Footpaths on Hydra Island by Antonis Kalogirou. You find it on this website: http://www.pezoporia.gr/pez/ekdos.asp?cat=viv&vid=64. ...

There is now an ever increasing number of restaurants and bars on booming Hydra. It´s probably best to discover yourselves, though the ones mentioned in the posts above are good hints. To us the main distinction for food quality was, is the fish and meat fresh (good) or frozen (bad and dry). Most re...

1969?
2012?

Dear Jarkko Could you please do me a very small favour and tell prime minister Trudeau or other relevant persons that the event in question has to be postponed as I am not available the first half of November. :( Thanks in advance, Harald ***I am sure that he will be sorry to miss you! / Jarkko ***

The bench is there. Hurrah and finally. Our thanks have to go to Jarkko fur his endurance in persecuting our goal. It´s like that sometimes: We decide something on the forum and leave the rest to Jarkko. As I consider Jarkko´s character, it was neither a small burden for him, to be in charge of spen...

Tonight, Thursday 8 June, Claudia and Ben will play at the Pirofani restaurant in Kamini from 19:30 - while we can have dinner there.
(I know the news comes late.)

I am no expert on this, but I´ll try. Hope this link helps:
