    Good God, that's an understatement. The second half of the concert from Jerusalem was very moving. I'd heard about it from a friend who attnded but even though I expected it, the depth of emotion displayed and projected startled me.

    I recognised Jennifer Warnes as one of the lady backing singers but not the other. Mr Cohen certainly didn't lack female companionship on any of his 'trips' :D

    Any news on a new album in 2011? Talk about it over the summer but not heard much since.
