Suitcase Full of Tears

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.

Here is my Famous Blue Raincoat written by Leonard Cohen.
