Thank you very much

Posting on CC and reading all the posts is helping me deal with the sorrow I am feeling.I saw the Greatful Dead 53 years ago .I have a picture of myself standing outside the venue.That was the only time I ever saw them live.I saw The Who in 1968 .CSN is one of my all time favorites .A guy who I worked with in the 1980’s was a singer with a CSN Tribute band called The Bohemians . Bobby,the guy I knew later on became Editor and Publisher of 21st.Century Rock ,a Quarterly magazine that circulated all over the world.He gave me a free subscription.In 1972 a co worker told me one day that her best friend was a singer was performing in a few days and knowing my love of music she invited Toby and I to join her to hear her friend.Since then my family and I have been to about 50 of his concerts.His name is Billy Joel.

Thank you.

When I was in college Classic Rock as we refer to that music now was just beginning.Everyone was into DooWop.I lived on the same street as Richie Havens and went to see him at clubs .I never saw Bowie live I won tickets to Live Aid but could not go .

Unfortunately he passed away last night.His wife just recovered from a Stroke .He was a very good friend to me .

Thank you ,Bonnie.

Thank you,Debbie. He was kept on Life Support till his grand daughters could get to say goodbye.My daughters are very close to their family.I have not told them yet.

My friend Mike died last night.We did not sleep ,we were crying nearly non stop. The funeral is tomorrow .Toby will go but I cannot physically go to the cemetary My Parkinsons is really draining me Thank you for your words.

I just got a call that my friend Mike who was in the ICU went into cardiac arrest and is on life support. Toby and his wife are very close friends .We are both emotionally drained.

Anyone can reply.I love The Who. I saw them live at the Fillmore East n NY in 1968.

We slways take a car service from our home on Long Island The company is very reliable and we always request the same driver.We have yet to have a problem.

I notarized music contracts for Van Halen .I saw Springsteen in 1972 in Asbury Park,NJ. I saw AC/DC live .One of the best female singers I ever saw is a cross between Janis Joplin and Grace Slick.Her name is Melissa League .You can find her on You Tube.She is a member of a Woodstock Tribute Band Retro69.Retro plays every year on the site of Woodstock 1969.

I never saw Westlife but yesterday I watched a documentary on Netflix about Leonard Cohen. One of the people in the film was one of my all time favorite singers,Glen Hansard.

In addition to going to hundreds of concerts I also reviewed records in the 70’s.From 1988 to 1992 I notarized music contracts for many well known singers and groups .In lieu of payment I was given recordings by the owner of the company I was “working” for.He was an original member of The Four Seasons. I was working at the time next door to Max’s Kansas City. I love discussing music.

Most people seem to prefer American .I prefer Swiss.

I enjoy French Toast but not with bacon

What was your number 1 top concert ? I have been going to concerts since 1961 and saw many great ones.

No,in fact in the entire documentary he is only referred to as Leonard.You should watch it if you have Netflix. In 2011 a sports documentary was made about a HOF basketball player. The guy who made the documentary wanted to get info on the childhood of the subject of the film.He contacted the President of the Alumni Association and asked who he would need to speak to who knew the person better than anyone at the school and she replied that it would be Lenny…….My full name appears in the credits but as Lenny not Leonard.The film won 2 Emmy’s

There is a great documentary on Netflix currently about Leonard Cohen.I watched it this afternoon.Cohen was asked by an interviewer if he ever thought about changing his name.He replied that he wanted to change it to September.The interviewer replied you would like to be known as Leonard September ? Cohen replied,no he would have liked to be September Cohen.

Labadee is my all time favorite private island port.

Thanks,Graham .

Thanks very much ,Debbie

My friend Mike who is in his mid 80’s fell last night and hit his head .He was taken by ambulance to a hospital close to where he lives .His wife just called and said he is in the ICU.

Why way too early.It is only 39 days away.

A restaurant in Alaska does not allow people to wait on line and encourages them to join others.
