Hi folks,
I'm hoping someone can help me - I have a dim memory that when Cohen re-emerged into the light of day, in Toronto in 2006, he recited 'A Street' as well as playing a couple of songs with Barenaked Ladies & Ron Sexsmith. I'm sure I've seen a clip of his recitation, but can't find it now - can anyone point me towards it? Or am I misremembering?

I have a recollection of this, too, but can't find Leonard's recitation you speak of. However, I think it was in 2006 at Indigo bookstore, Yorkville, Toronto. Here he is with Ron Sexsmith and Barenaked Ladies and Anjani.

Hi JohnnySevenMoons,

you are not misremembering, there was a clip of his recitation on Youtube, had it in my favorits. Sadly the uploader deleted it some years ago... I hope that one day it might reapear on Youtube. Several other clips from this event where reuploaded shortly after Leonards passing but that gem is still missing. I loved it.

All the best
