Subject: It was awesome. LC did not perform but received his award for a lifetime of contribution to the arts so he made a little speech then sat in a spot of honor and watched the tributes. There were 9 or 10 musical performers doing songs including his son, Adam. All very really well done and only Greg Keelor forgot the words. :). The speakers were Adrienne Clarkson, Michael Ondaatje, Melissa Auf der Mar and Alan Rickman. They told stories and then most read either a poem or excerpt from his novel. It was a really neat night! And Alan us still looking fantastic although he just turned 65 :-0 Leonard Cohen us coming to London in Dec and I'm going to go. Really looking forward to it!

[> Sounds like it was a great time. I heard Adam Cohen interviewed on CBC this morning - he sang So Long Maryanne and talked about his dad. He said that Leonard declined the Order of Canada - I'm going to google why - I'm sure he had a very logical reason. Do you have a fave Leonard song? I love so many of them I don't think I could pick a favorite - Gypsy Wife is right up there, though. -- M.F., 22:33:20 05/15/12 Tue

[> [> So Long Marianne was the big finale and very good. I'm not sure I have a favourite but I am enjoying Famous Blue Raincoat and Closing Time at the moment. -- Fiona, 16:42:47 05/16/12 Wed
