Heard a singer songwriter from Minnesota perform the best interpretation of Cohen’s Hallelujah of anyone I have ever heard. He literally had the house so quiet you could hear a pin drop. And it was just him, barefoot, sitting on a stool with his guitar. What a beautiful song! Thank you Leonard for all you have done. |
A great loss...😥 I have so many of his albums but today was playing the 3 record Live London Concert http://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/leonard-cohen/live-in-london#.WCXCmtQ8ahA Some of the best analogue sound I have heard for years. Simply a 'must' for a Cohen and music fan alike.... Adieu Lennie and thanks..... |
Rest in peace dear Leonard. I feel your loss. My chest is tight. CBC FM (Canada public radio) just had a beautiful 2 hour musical tribute with Tom Allen as host.I feel it may well be the best program CBC has ever done and I have an elevated appreciation of Tom for this lovely presentation. (I may feel the loss more deeply than some, having shared drinks with Leonard in a quiet Montreal bar circa 1971. I'm grateful that my very charming and beautiful 1st wife attracted his ever watchful eye.) (I take the liberty of intimacy here as respect for that aspect of Leonard.) |
That's the trouble with all the great ones...eventually the final curtain falls, and we're left with our memories and their footsteps... Thanks Leonard...thanks to digital, your words and sound will be with us as long as there's eyes to see sunrise and ears to hear your thoughts, and minds and souls to appreciate and reflect. Sleep well... |
