volcanohunter Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) In 1989 the CBC produced a dance film titled A Moving Picture featuring songs by Leonard Cohen (among others) and choreography by Anne Ditchburn and Robert Desrosiers performed by dancers of the National Ballet of Canada, including Lorraine Blouin, Nina Goldman (later a particularly successful Broadway gypsy), John Alleyne, Martine Lamy and Yolande Auger. This clip also includes a glimpse of composer Ahmed Hassan, the late husband of choreographer Peggy Baker. Edited November 11, 2016 by volcanohunter Link to comment

dirac Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 RIP. It's been a real Leonard Cohen kind of week, too. Quote I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean I love the country but I can't stand the scene. And I'm neither left or right I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen. But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that Time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. Link to comment
pherank Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 RIP Leonard, you will be sorely missed. Here's one of my favorite versions of Suzanne (hard to beat the combination of Ian Matthews and Sandy Denny vocals): http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x16xhhe_fairport-convention-suzanne_music Link to comment

Pamela Moberg Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 It is really too sad for words, cannot write anything coherent. I havent been able to take out all his records to play, that will have to wait until I get some perspective on the fact that a singer- songwriter I admired to much is no longer with us. Now it is definitely too late for the Nobel Prize... (There is still much talk in the press here about that Dylan thing - not sure yet it seems if he will attend or not. We will see what happens, I will report). Link to comment

Oh, that is a powerful overlapping -- I hadn't thought of that. Link to comment

He doesn't seem to be turning down the prize outright, so he's still got to come up with a lecture at some point. Link to comment
