Non Cohen Moments.

[schubert]

Didn't really know what to call this topic!
I listen to Leonard a lot,have done for nearly 40 years,sometimes days on end.
But there are times when I dont listen to him for quite a while and then when I come back to him its like meeting up with an old friend again.
I do think you can have too much Leonard tho maybe not many would agree, and I say that as a Leonard fanatic!!

Hi Schubert,

There's an old maxim that goes something like: "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." This can
hold true for music, sometimes.

I can understand exactly where you are coming from with this because I am going through a "non cohen moment" just now . Can it be connected to anything in particular the seasons, events in your life , or is it just that too much of a good thing is bad for you . After all you would not drink the finest wines with your meal every night would you !! . But the great thing about Leonard is I ALWAYS return to his music eventually

[schubert]

I agree with you liptrot that maybe it's really just a case of too much of a good thing is bad for you,but as you say I always go back to him and he just gets better and better which is truly amazing after so many years.How lucky we are to have such a gifted artist in our lifetime!!

Sometimes I have a change of music.
Then after a while I go back to Leonard and as soon as I hear that voice again, my heart flips and I wonder why I deserted him for a week !!

After all you would not drink the finest wines with your meal every night would you !! .

If I could, yes. I get my LC fix on a daily basis, whether through links here to youtube or by pressing 'play' on my CD player . Otherwise, withdrawal starts to set in . What is wrong with me ?

Kindest regards,
Mary

I prefer Dr Who's version: "Absence makes the nose grow longer."

Mary, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you! You are a normal, healthy Cohen addict!

Great minds think alike ?

Hi Hydriot,

Never heard that version. Knew someone who cynically changed the saying to: "Absence makes the
heart grow fonder of someone else."

Hi MaryB and Mollydog
Does that make Schubert and myself lesser mortals or just ill with some kind of "non cohen" condition . I used to listen him everyday but now you have got me worried . I even gave up the chance to go to the Weybridge concert because of a few lousy pounds missing from my bank balance do you think I should see a doctor or will the illness go and normality return without medication

[schubert]

Ha ha liptrot, I reckon we must be ill with some strange condition! Maybe the only cure is to be locked in a room for a whole month with only Leonards music for company.

It would obviously have to be the "songs from a room " album

Shubert and liptrot;

Not to worry, you two are normal, whereas Mary and I are 'normal, healthy, Cohen addicts' fearing the agony of withdrawal.

Without LEONARD only when I sleep. I listen to MP3 music in the morning,then I have a good mood.
