Comments on the Cooking Vinyl obituary “Jackie Leven June 18th 1950 – 14th November 2011”

16 reader comments from 15.11. to 01.12.2011 beneath the label's obituary, in English and one in German. Fans from Great Britain, Austria, Germany and Norway mourn and remember: a Viennese learned of the death through Michael Cosgrave's Facebook entry and mentions a cancelled Vienna concert in September 2011; a man from Birmingham describes how, after a Doll by Doll concert in London, Leven gave a friend the lyric sheet he had just sung from; Mike Plumbley (author of the 1997 Winchester concert review) recalls a CORE benefit concert to which he came because of Townes Van Zandt and where Leven played “Men In Prison”, whereupon hard men wept; the Hanover radio presenter Uli Kniep thanks him for many encounters since The Mystery Of Love; Jan Myrvold (Norway) promises to pass the legacy on to younger generations; others recall Doll by Doll in north London and in York in 1979, a cancelled Dingwalls concert, a raffle at the 12 Bar Club, Leven's tattered “lucky shirt” and cancelled concerts in 2011 (York, Vienna). A German comment (Leo Lambrecht) mentions performances at the “Lab” in Stuttgart.
