Wishing you a very happy birthday Leonard.

You have been a part of my life for more than 45 years and on the occasion of your 80th birthday I would like to thank you for the extraordinary richness you have brought to my life over that period.

I wish you many more years of creativity, contentment and good health. I hope we will have more opportunities to keep your music alive together in the coming years but, if not, I thank you for the memories of the most extraordinary concerts I have ever attended in my life (and not just in 2008-13 either!)

Happy birthday from Lorca's country to a true poetry lover

I try to capture the words
for these lines
but there are no guarantees
that they are stolen
from a man
who has sentenced me
to forty years
of longing.


Happy Birthday, Leonard.


Pete

Dearest Leonard
Since I first heard So Long Marianne at the age of 15, I have loved your music and hope to do so for many years to come.
Thank you too for introducing me to the music of the sublime Webb Sisters, Javier Mas, Dino Soldo and your wonderful son, Adam.
I hope you have a birthday full of happy memories - enjoy that cigarette (but just have the one and give them up again).
With best wishes now and always
Helen

Happy Birthday, Leonard!

All good things,
