Thanks. Will have to try and convince my friend to stop there on the way Friday as I'd like to see it in person.

Sandraa, how far is Yeats grave from Lissadell House?

Almost 250 covers of Hallelujah! And then people wonder why I've set up a Facebook page calling for no more covers of this wonderful song. I'd be interested in just seeing a list of Leonards songs and then the number of covers done beside it.

I really, really love it - including the words you have chosen for it.

So do I! Brilliant!

When it came to a photo of the two of us, I wanted it in black&white, so I paused, realizing I couldn't do both :shock: . Someone volunteered to take it of us [so one might presume they knew what they were doing, right?]. I thanked him and handed it off, he took a couple photos just to be sure. Whe...
