Thanks to WMOT and Craig Havighurst for giving me the opportunity to remember the great Leonard Cohen. His influence on me was profound and lifelong. I’m so grateful to have seen him perform (I flew to Portland, OR in 2010 to catch his show there since I was on the road when he came to Nashville); on stage he was elegant and wryly funny and incredibly generous with the spotlight – everyone in his prodigiously talented band had a moment. He was the master of song.
