HIS tears broke my heart; what a MAN! Dear Mr Leonard Cohen, rest in everything you've ever searched for. 💙 "Now that my mission has come to its end I pray I’m forgiven the life that I’ve led the body I chased it chased me as well. My longing’s a place my dying a sail."

Thanks 'CSHF'. I saw Leonard Cohen in Stockholm, SWEDEN. Was it 1982? I recall now. It was a freezing cold February evening. Inside the Concert hall in the center of Stockholm city, where Mr Cohen and his band were on the stage bringing us so much poetry and music. A night to remember. Afterwards Karin and me we drank red wine in her small apartment. A week later a popular Swedish DJ Kjell Alinge (dead and gone like Leonard Cohen) called the Canadian L. Cohen jokingly: "LEONARDO COHENSKY" in his popular weekly Eldorado radio program. Later in the autumn before the cold arrived I left Sweden for Bangkok, ASIA. Today I am 72 married and I live in Thailand. Karin found a tall accountant or maybe an actuary Sven G. Andersson and moved in with him. They live in Stockholm. But, Karin & Johnny (Johannes) we both still remember and cherish LEONARD COHEN! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaW9dnysgLmZitk
