Leonard Cohen...RIP....

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.)   

wow what a doubly sad day, losing Leonard and remembrance day. thank you for the music and thank you all the ones that died to give us our great countrys.

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...

He can't rest in peace until he is joined by all his women. And when it happens, they won't let him have it either.

Not the best cover, but a bright candle lit for the man.  And a good piece of advice...
