Coming home to where it's better

Post by david birkett »

My status as a regular visitor to this forum lapsed about five years ago. Would someone, therefore, be kind enough to provide a short summary of the major themes and issues since then. I promise to try and visit frequently now.

To be brief:

LC began touring in 2008 after 15-year hiatus, played 246 concerts worldwide through December, 2010.

LC recorded a new album, "Old Ideas," which was released in January, 2012 and very-well received.

LC began new tour in 2012, when it concludes in December he will have played about 125 more concerts worldwide.

LC is currently working on another album.

LC told us he wants to begin smoking again, while on tour, at age 80 in September, 2014.

The public seems to like LC's music and concerts.
