Tower of Song Quiz
Test your knowledge of Leonard Cohen

The melancholic and darkly humorous work of Leonard Cohen has earned him the appellations “the prince of bummers” and “the grocer of despair.” He tasted early success as a published poet while still a university student, then later as an award-winning novelist based in Greece. Cohen moved into music with his first album release at age 33 — a choice made because he needed a gig that paid more than his efforts as a writer. It has since proven to be quite the fallback plan. Cohen’s legendary, and highly respected, body of work as a musician will see him inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame on Feb. 5.

Ah, well... at least they asked enough that we could get, to make us feel at least somewhat knowledgeable about our guy

Perhaps, in Jillian's private collection. It reminded me of something Elizabeth Laishley would have done ~ I initially looked for her name.
