Leonard Cohen Dead at 82

Leonard Cohen and Joan Baez were the musical heritage my mother left me when she died during my early teens.

So Long, Marianne from Songs of Leonard Cohen and Diamonds in the Mine from Songs of Love and Hate have been and still are my favorites.

There are many more that ensure Leonard Cohen's immortality.

This song was written about a place I lived close to, knew about, and never set foot in. If I had only known...

It is one of my favourite songs by Leonard Cohen and one I try to play as often as I can. This is a sad day for me.  Thanks for posting it, LongRider.

I am finally, absurdly, crying real tears about this tonight.  Can't really quantify how much he meant to me as a poet and as a songwriter and, strangely, as a Canadian (I'm not the patriotic sort).  It's been a weird blur since I heard the news, but it just sunk in tonight.  Goodbye, Mr. Cohen.
