The Poet of song had left us. Leonard Cohen.
The Poet of song
Thank you Leonard Cohen. You taught me. Words had great meaning and could come alive. You were the Poet of song. I saw you in concert in 1978 and 1979 in Germany. You were a legend to many already. The great Poet had left us. He shall never be forgotten. The word-men and word-women will hold dearly to his special song and voice. I miss you already Leonard Cohen. I hope you are singing in the tower of song.

2016 saw the loss of many musical greats. Leonard was unique and one of a kind. I think he knew he was going,he had commented about it before the last LP came out.

Reblogged this on Teacher as Transformer and commented:
One of the first record albums I purchased was by Leonard Cohen. I bought it in 1970 and have enjoyed his poetry and music for over 45 years. He ranks up there with the great writers of our time.
