PROGRAM NOTES:
Tonight's show is a tribute to the late poet and singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen, who passed away last week at the age of 82. I hadn't been aware of Cohen's work until the early '90's when an album of Cohen covers, "I'm Your Fan: The Songs of Leonard Cohen" was released. That compilation contained a version of "First We Take Manhattan" by REM, and was a favorite of mine when I had my first radio show at WFCS. That compilation, along with "Tower of Song" is heavily represented on tonight's show.
