Introduction - Leonard Cohen

Thank you so much friends

I was having a drink with my old teacher

He is 102 now

And this was, he was just, about 97 at that time

And I pour him a drink and

He clicked my glass and said:

Excuse me for not dying

And i kind feel the same way

I want to thank you not just for this evening

But for the many years you’ve kept my songs alive

I really appreaciate it I don’t want anyone to get alarmed

I know you probabaly have never seen

Any of this before, but it goes by itself
