The 'encore'.

Post by scorpio1952 »

I remember the very first time I saw Leonard Cohen in concert in Manchester, poss late 70's, when his repertoire was limited to 3 albums.

Having been recalled back to the stage after rapturous applause, he commented that he had no more songs to sing, so we were treated to a repeat performance of Suzanne, Bird on the Wire, etc!

'Encore', as he explained at the time, should be 'an encore'! So off he went again with Suzanne etc. Brilliant!

Great that he has now got so much to offer. 'Poetry in Song' doesn't get any better.
Life is what happens to us while we are busy making other plans.
