 Unbelievable show. Played from 8 until sometime after 11. I hadn't even paid attention to my tickets, so was shocked that we'd managed fourth row (second row of permanent seats.) Slightly obstructed view, in that we couldn't see his organist, but that apparently saved us over $100.00 per ticket.
His Live in London cd is one of recent fav's (nt), posted on November 4, 2009 at 10:45:24

 worth millions, he only had a hundred or so thousand dollars to show for all his decades of success. His business "manager" had absconded with all of his money and Leonard couldn't collect. Leonard found out after he had returned from spending five years in an ashram in Asia. I certainly hope he learned how to cope with the situation!

 Which has put several million back in his coffers, which should be enough to live the rest of his life on, given that he is 75.

According to Wiki, the several suits against him that sprung up around the embezzlement litigation have also been dismissed.

I could be unkind, and point out that if he hadn't been off faith shopping for five years, he probably would have noticed what was going on with his money, but he gave such a stellar performance I really hate to say something unkind.

One shudders to think of your unkind comments. nt, posted on November 3, 2009 at 18:19:33
