    Wow! Yeah... John Gilbert... When my Dad was living, my Mother used to tell me that, "everyone" thought he strongly resembled John Gilbert... Now, lots of my friends say, "You are starting to look like your Dad!" I take that as a great compliment! :rolleyes:

    Leonard Cohen- Hat fancier

    Leonard is so spiffy these days... Wish I had a suit like the one he has on in the photo you included. Leonard is one of my favorites; has been for many years now. Even though my specialty now is swing/jazz standards, I still sing his, "Hallelujah" every chance I get.
