I AM BACK

IT WAS A WORTHY TRIP

SEE YOU SOON

VIA MONTREAL

All my bags are packed,

I'm ready to go
I'm standing' here

outside your door
I hate to wake you up

 to say goodbye

*

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never

 let me go

 

I'll attend a conference in Montreal

and

I'll be back a week from tomorrow.

´THE PEARL OF THE ATLANTIC´- MADEIRA

Madeira

Island is known as the Pearl of the Atlantic, the floating Garden. Has a mild climate throughout the entire year.

Discovered early in the 15th century by the Portuguese navigators João Gonçalves Zarco.

Madeira is brimming with smiles and is famed for its amazing variety

of walking terrain with an extraordinarily dramatic coastline and towering sea cliffs. There are breathtaking gorges, deep ravines and a network of peaceful levadas that wander across the open moorlands up to the wild and rugged mountains.

Have a look at those gorgeous photos- slide.

Leonard Cohen Tour 2009

Leonard Cohen

legendary Canadian singer and songwriter,

will perform at Bratislava's Incheba Expo Arena

on Friday, August 28, 2009

One of the most fascinating and enigmatic - if not the most successful - singer, songwriters of the late '60s, Leonard Cohen has retained an audience across four decades of music-making interrupted by various digressions into personal and creative exploration, all of which have only added to the mystique surrounding him. Second only to Bob Dylan (and perhaps Paul Simon), he commands the attention of critics and younger musicians more firmly than any other musical figure from the 1960s who is still working at the outset of the 21st century, which is all the more remarkable an achievement for someone who didn't even aspire to a musical career until he was in his thirties.

Leonard Norman Cohen was born into a middle-class Jewish family in the Montreal suburb of Westmount.in 1934, a year before Elvis Presley or Ronnie Hawkins, and his background - personal, social, and intellectual - couldn't have been more different from those of any rock stars of any generation; nor can he be easily compared even with any members of the generation of folksingers who came of age in the 1960s. Though he knew some country music and played it a bit as a boy, he didn't start performing on even a semi-regular basis, much less recording, until after he had already written several books - and as an established novelist and poet, his literary accomplishments far exceed those of Bob Dylan or most anyone else who one cares to mention in music, at least this side of operatic librettists such as Hugo Von Hoffmanstahl or Stefan Zweig, figures from another musical and cultural world

NOTES

 

 

 

 

Love isn't a decision. It's a feeling.

If we could decide who we loved,

it would be much simpler,

but much less magical.
