A Star Shines Bright
Throughout my years with HAIR, with all of us who have performed, lived and loved HAIR, one person stood out. If there was ever a personification of the spirit we are devoted to, that person was Leo Lunser.
As said before every time I heard or thought of Leo, I got warm all over. I can just visualize the last time I saw him, bringing that lovely aura to our re-union.
Leo has passed on. Our world is diminished, bit there is a light out there. Pick a star and think of Leo.
Rest In Peace and Love, Our Friend
Michael

You have the same memories I have of Leo Michael… I received an email as I often did not so long ago just to keep in touch.
I will find the brighest star in the sky for that will be Leo.. though I cannot help but feel really sad.
Ditto Michael… “Rest in Peace and Love, Our Friend”

There is a wonderful photos of him accompanying it.

Alas, now that he is no longer with us, that dream cannot be realized. I, too, will miss him.

It was done on a minimal budget, in a field, and it has more spirit and tribal feeling than many other productions I have seen over the years.
