The bench idea is lovely, I just wonder if it could be extended just slightly to include a couple of modest flat stones on the ground or behind with a couple of short quotations to make a little reflection zone of it. A local artisan would be great. But happy to contribute to whatever is final choice.

As a small element of celebrations I suggest a special issue car sticker. I lost my "warning driver under the influence of Leonard Cohen" sticker when I changed car and would really love another one....proceedings could go to something worthwhile.

I like the idea of a feature or fountain or something in the Parc du Portugal as suggested already.

Or, a nice plaque actually on the house there, which could be easier to sort out in the time frame as the only person who would need to agree would be him!

At NAMM he mentioned maybe more touring with Leonard in the end of the year, plus Leonard's CD and one from Jennifer Warnes among his 2014 plans.

The interview is on YouTube.
