I don’t think I could explain the twisted path I take to find the Then and Now songs, all I know is it’s more difficult when I try to find them. It’s best just to stumble over them. Happily, while tripping on this week’s, I found next week’s as well. And it’s a 3-fer.
More than one person has expressed shock at my lack of familiarity with Leonard Cohen. With the exception of “First We Take Manhattan” and “I’m Your Man” I’m not well schooled in his music. I’m waiting for someone to be my Leonard Cohen sensei, I guess. But, this song caught my eye, namely because, well, Suzanne is my middle name.
Suzanne – Leonard Cohen

First of all, you should know, many many people have covered this song. But when I came across this particular one, it was a no brainer. This man is one of my favorite musicians. Of all time. Ever. And this cover is amazing. But I would expect nothing less from Peter.
