“Well, it’s an unimaginable honor to be the president during the Fourth of July of this country. It means what these words say, for starters. The great inalienable rights of our country. We’re blessed with such values in America. And I–it’s–I’m a proud man to be the nation based upon such wonderful values.”–Visiting the Jefferson Memorial, Washington, D.C., July 2, 2001

So I sit down at the computer to start work this morning and grab my guitar to play a couple tunes. I played a few originals and finished with Famous Blue Raincoat and First We Take Manhatten. My only 2 Leonard Cohen songs. Then I switch on the radio to get back to work and on KVMR, Jerianne Van Dijk is Interviewing Jennifer Warnes on the telephone. WAH!
Jennifer is re-releasing Famous Blue Raincoat Digitally Re-Mastered. I want it. You need it.

OMG! Have you ever noticed how much Anthony Bordain resembles Leonard Cohen?
Me either! This is Leonard Cohen on the left.

The first LC song I remember was Bird On a Wire on Rita Coolidge’s first record. I didn’t really know he wrote it until I bought the Jennifer Warnes album Famous Blue Raincoat. Yeah I like singin chick songs, so what?

I am getting better recordings here at my computer these days and it’s fun! I used Adobe Audition and did 2 tracks in 2 takes and just left it. Who has time for tinkering these days.

Jerry Garcia left us on Wednesday, August the 9th 1995.
Millions of us mourned the loss, and wished him Godspeed.
Our prayers are with him, his family, and the Grateful Dead.
Let us all begin anew to celebrate Jerry’s gentle life,
and enjoy the phenomenal musical legacy he left behind!

Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone
Going to leave this broke-down palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time – in my time – I will roll, roll, roll

In a bed, in a bed
by the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

River gonna take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
all the way back home
It’s a far-gone lullaby
sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I’ve come
since I first left home

Going home, going home
by the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

Going to plant a weeping willow
On the bank’s green edge, it will grow, grow, grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go – the river roll, roll, roll

Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

Brokedown Palace — Robert Hunter
