He has to somehow survive until April!

Yes, and they, too, add to the fact that it’s not all about being a ‘certain age’….

Went on over to youtube to listen/see the Jeff Buckley cover – I like the electric guitar ‘spin’ on it. Thanks for directing me to him.
Sounds like your Swiss student is having an earthy Manchester ‘exchange’ experience. Just hope he stays safe!

I loved all of the tracks you included. I had problems playing the third one so went to YouTube to listen-it was worth it.
I love Jeff Buckleys’s Hallelujah cover. By coincidence-he would have been fifty today and so I had to mention it on Jackdaw.
Another coincidence, about the power of three: remember our student who was in that accident? He has now been caught up in THREE accidents in under TWO WEEKS. Poor lad is on a bit of a streak.

Ah that reminds me of a conversation I had several years back with a fellow working musician in response to my thanking him for giving me permission to use some of his scored out arrangements…”Music is for sharing”…
Thanks for stopping by, Deborah.

I agree about listening to Leonard singing and playing his pieces. There are countless wonderful ‘covers’ of his Hallelujah; I chose this one as it appeals to my guitar sensibilities! 😉
You are right about finding ‘blessings in the grief’ and about ‘taking time’…
You take care, too.

But I enjoyed listening to each of them. The quote from Cohen and his song was especially moving. Thank you for sharing their music and their passing.
