thanks so much for posting this. My two favorite musician on the planet. Its pure magic and serendipity that they were able to be friends and share music in this world before Jeff died.

@TheKidDAM no problem, glad you and everybody else likes it

I believe I've heard this story before. But it was a good revisit and a beautiful redition of Beaches.

Was worth the listen. Thanks for sharing it.

Glen's accumulated some amazing experiences (and stories) hasn't he!

[savagecabage]

@womanatwittsend no problem. he seems gets lots of abuse from people for talking about this story all the time, but would you blame him! id never shut up about it if i met jeff buckley lol

but yea he is definitely piling up the experiences these days, academy awards etc etc

I hadn't heard this before, and it is a real treat. Listening to it leaves a profound impression on me of being privy to a time in Jeff's life just before his he leaped on to the world stage. Very moving. Thank you, Glen Hansard and savagecabage, for sharing this with us.

@owenhunt thoe story with Jeff has a lot of blind spots and my guess there's no chance in Hell we know the truth soon enough ))

[owenhunt]

@VegaVelecka Surely Rebecca herself could dispel any rumours and surface the truth? I swear Buckley gigged at several clubs before discovering Sin-e and finding his fit.

Personally I am endeared to the idea of an Irish man introducing an Irish-American to an Irish tavern -- with the luck of the Irish striking longevity for Sir Buckley. We fans should really press for a truth' on this matter as it is a vital component of Jeff's rise and fall.

@owenhunt 'Various theories exist explaining how Jeff Buckley began his Monday night residency at Sin-E in April 1992. ' (Jeff Apter 'Pure Drop')

[VegaVelecka]

@owenhunt now that I was thinking of it, here's something strange. Story (in fact, several stories) has it that it was Rebecca Moore that introduced Jeff to Sin-E: "Daniel Harnett, an actor [...] Moor said her boyfriend had nowhere to gig and was rehearsing in their apartment, an could Harnett recommend some clubs? Harnett told her about [...] Sin-E. He thought it could be just the right fit." (by David Browne)

[owenhunt]

@VegaVelecka It sounds like Glen inadvertently introduced Jeff to the bar where he became legend. Life is a mosaic, truly.

[VegaVelecka]

great guy, great artist, great voice, guess he will be my another discovery made thanks to Jeff )

Wow I've been into Jeff Buckley since I saw him play in 94' in Austin, Tx, but now more and more connections are happening that put together all the pieces of the puzzle of Jeff's life.

I didn't realize that Glen and Jeff Buckley were friends that's really cool since they are two of my favorites. It also just so happens that another one of my favorite musicians Jimmie Gnecco was also friends with him which I think makes for a cool connection. I don't know what it is but theres just something about this interview that makes me want to go out and really start living. thanks so much for sharing
