This is cool. I am writing while Leonard Kohen is "singing?" in the
background. Something still draws me to his music. But then I'm a
true blue Bob Dylan fan, too.
Still and all, give me the Moody Blues over them all.

And I got a whole bunch of song titles and You Tube links. I'd forgotten
the
names of the songs but Google knew. It's terrifying!

I don't know that I know that kind of music. The name sounds only vaguely
familiar to me. You might provide a link to the examples you mentioned.

Any of you guys know of a song writer and performer named Leonard Cohen?music
He's about 83 years old and there was a long article about him in the
Audible October 17th edition of The New Yorker that is on BARD. I
never heard of him, but the article was fascinating so I found some of
his
on the web. His big song is Hallelulia. There's another one, Dance Mepoetry, except they're a bit more lyrical.
To
Love. It's the stranges stuff I've ever heard. I mean it's poetry sung
to two or three notes by someone who, as far as I'm concerned, doesn't
have a singing voice. But I'm old and my taste in music is very
strange and
speicific: old classical, big band music, romantic ballads, folk
music, country music, old fashioned negro spirituals, (that's what
they're called), almost nothing popular written after Slow Boat To
China. David Remnick, who wrote the article on Leonard Cohen, also has
one on Bob Dillon and his prize for literature. His article is on the
web with links to a number of Dillon's songs on You Tube. I listened
to a few with which I'm unfamiliar. Like Cohen's, they're like
complicated
So Bob, Roger, you people who know this kind of music, what are your
thoughts?
