Boonrat Na Wichai - Traditional Lanna Folk Song

Re: 20 years "Songs from Energy of Slaves"

I recommend these songs highly. I got Henning's CD when it originally came out and I still listen to the songs frequently.

Henning Franz's "The Energy of Slaves" CD - Additional Tracks?

There is information about it here: https://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/hfranz.html I've recently found a listing for a version of the CD that contains 15 songs rather than 12: https://www.dis...

Cover of "Sing Another Song, Boys" (by Nick Turner?)

I came upon this cover of "Sing Another Song, Boys" and like it a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbPt-A5KIKA I think the singer/guitarist's name is Nick Turner but I can't find much information about him. It was recorded at the Kidogo Arthouse in Fremantle, Western Australia. Does an...

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

If I were in the UK (which I'm not), would there be a way to download tracks from iTunes?

It will be a shame if these recordings "disappear forever," as seems to have been the case with the 1967 batch.

Re: Next Step: Charity projects

At some point, maybe years from now, the bench will probably need some repair work. What about putting some of the money into a fund for maintenance of the Hydra bench?

I'll support whatever the group decides.

Re: VIP Package Issues

I still haven't received my VIP packages for the Boston show. It's hard to understand why it has taken so long. It's been 2 months since the concert and 9 months since I bought the tickets.
