My Dad loved Leonard Cohen.  

He played his music often and so I, in turn, grew to love Leonard Cohen. But it was my Uncle Peter who introduced me to Jennifer Warnes' album Famous Blue Raincoat, which is her interpretations of Cohen's music.  I would have been about 15 I think.  I fell in love with it.  I must have listened to it a million times. 

The album will be 40 years old in November.  How wild is that?  

Anyway, tonight I got home and put the album on - and then randomly felt like singing.  For no reason at all I sat down and bashed out a couple of covers.  

One take wonders, so forgive any blues and blips but here they are!

Fun fact, like an idiot it was only recently I joined the dots between the Jennifer Warnes who sang “I had the time of my life” and the Jennifer Warnes who sang this album.  No idea why I didn't clock they were the same beautiful voice.  Now have a whole new appreciation for that song.  

And why, I hear you ask,  am I waving a pencil around?  NFI - I wasn't even aware I'd picked it up.  

Chat later kiddies!
