No, Char, I'm not seeing Leonard Cohen in concert. I don't like or dislike his music. Melbourne newspaper The Age said the two best concerts here last year were Cohen at a Yarra Valley winery and Neil Young at Melbourne's Music Bowl. The last concert I attended was Irish band The Saw Doctors who played at the Corner Hotel and the Ferntree Gully Hotel. I'm attending one of the Jun16&18 Rod Laver Arena concerts by Yusuf (formerly Cat Stevens) on his first Australian tour since 1974. As with Gordon Lightfoot, I had enjoyed his music since the early 1970s, been too young to see him in Melbourne then and been thrilled to get the chance 3-and-a-half decades later. His 2006 CD "An Other Cup" and 2009 CD "Roadsinger" sound amazingly like Cat Stevens in the 1970s.
