Dear friends:
I´ve gathered most of my Catalan covers of Cohen songs in the following site, as my own little homage to Leonard on his 70th birthday:

These are basically what I will play on the Barcelona Party tonight, so here you can get an idea of how it sounds. Best regards,
Jordi

I hope you have a wonderful time, Jordi ! I hope my computer at work allows me access to listen tomorrow.

Dear Jordi ~

I'm so glad you haven't contacted me to confirm whether or not I've yet received your cd. I tend to listen to what comes to me, for awhile, before advising that it did. Sometimes people get concerned and check, and then it seems I'm ungrateful. However, I simply want to be able to make some comments at the same time I let them know it arrived.

So, now, I've been listening to your wonderful cd for about a week. I love the melancholy melody of "Paradis Perdut" and the melancholy sadness of "Tanta Bellesa;" the jaunty, whimsical melody of "Brindis Al Sol;" and the epic quality of the beginning of "La Secta Selecta." Now, whether the 'sound' of what I hear aligns with their meanings, only you know.

It catches me off guard to hear your covers of performers I know ~ Bruce Springsteen; Mark Knopfler; Bob Dylan; and Paul Simon. To be listening to their songs in Catalan is a pleasure I'd have never experienced without this site. Thanks again to Jarkko. Your cover of Leonard's song, "Esperant el Miracle" is haunting and beautiful. You convey a lot of emotion through your voice. Ah......the instrumentation [the excellent violin ] that you've included in your arrangements. Beautiful, indeed.

Thank you so much for this cd, Jorcx. You have so much to be proud of with it. I love both of your voices ~ speaking and singing. You have some very interesting sound effects with your songs, too. I hope to hear you one day in person.

~ Lizzy
