I think it's because he's IrishJH6056 said:In 1999 I happened to be at a festival where Glen played and I was nearby when he met Patti Smith for the first time. I heard and saw the brief but sweet interaction and I remember thinking "Wow, I'm sure that guy has a deep respect for her, but he totally just charmed her in a split second - she walked away with such a big smile! How did he do that??" I imagine meeting Leonard Cohen at 15 like that can help do that to you, open you up to that gracious and magnetic person you have inside...

Maybe, although there are a lot of Irish people in the world... I'm pretty sure Glen's got some extra level of charm/engagement that goes beyond his heritage...0

Very true. He is very humble.0

Getting a promo poster for a very important Glen show I attended framed right now. I had the opportunity to tell Glen how much that show in particular meant, and he signed the poster, too! It will be my first ever framed poster--I'm stoked! I pick it up on Saturday"Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith."

Thanks, kramer!
So I realized recently I had never heard the original Heyday by Mic Christopher, (only Glen's version, which I LOVE) and finally got around to listening to it...fantastic. Glen has the best taste"Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith."

Samjam if you wanna see Mic and Glen's incredible chemistry, this video is a favorite of mine. It's a cover of a Michelle Shocked song called "Fogtown" and Mic and Glen used to play it busking in Dublin back when they really busked... Mic was a brilliant musician and person.
