Don't miss this great man nad artist - I saw him in London and Wiena last year, and will be in Venice next Monday. Can't wait! I agree with fan who said after Leonard's Paris concert: "I was on a different planet yesterday night. I didn't cry and wasn't close to tears, I was just spellbound. I just hope I am a little bit better, purer and kinder now than I had been before this incredible experience."

I think this guy is absolutely amazing, a bit of an acquired taste, but amazing none the less. I remember seeing him on Later with Jools Holland on the BBC, he just looked so cool.

One of my favourite albums is Jennifer Warnes Famous Blue Raincoat.
