Anyone seen the moon tonight?

It was huge when it first rose into sight around 5:20 pm.  Now, it is higher in the sky, so less "huge."  Normally, during a full moon, I can rise around 6 or 6:30 am and see it just over the village, large and orangey - breathtaking, really.

Yes.  Plant yourself in front of a large scotch.

The moon's gone from here, as well. 

I used to know a couple of theories as to why it looks larger when it is close to the horizon (it actually isn't, as comparing photos of it near the horizon and higher in the sky the same night will show) but I've forgotten them.  None were very satisfactory, anyway.

Well the Chelsea tie up seemed kind of topical as Wednesday night CFC hope to top the group !

I saw him once perform this song at the Albert Hall and no sooner had he started, than he was abused by a Joplin fan. Weird night all round actually for one reson or another but Mr Cohen was in terrific form.

Don't know that one..............................Like a  Drunk on the Wire with his midnight choir  ?

From the Album, I have heard a few people sing The Partisan but none better than dear Leonard and strangely enough...Paul Simon. Like Jennifer Warnes version as well.

From 'Songs from a room'

Like a bird on the wire,

like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free.

Like a worm on a hook,

like a knight from some old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for thee.

If I, if I have been unkind,

I hope that you can just let it go by.

If I, if I have been untrue

I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,

like a beast with his horn

I have torn everyone who reached out for me.

But I swear by this song

and by all that I have done wrong

I will make it all up to thee.

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,

he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."

And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,

she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,

like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free.

Absolute talent imho.

[quote user="Dick Smith"]His latest album was poor, though. I played mine once and threw it out of the car window.

I've always loved LC, except when there's a full moon. Then, I want to throw myself out of the car window if he's playing.

Did you see what I did then?[;-)]
