 Suzanne – Leonard Cohen

 

Suzanne – a timeless classic by the great Leonard Cohen! It captivates listeners with its haunting melodies and poetic lyrics. It tells a story of a muse who takes Cohen on a journey through Canada’s enigmatic landscapes.

Suzanne is my favourite folk song.

It is a very Canadian song, owned by Montreal because it names Our Lady of the Harbour which is a Montreal cathedral near the St. Lawrence River.

The temperature has been below zero all day today in Chicago. Current -3 . That is real temp not wind chill.  Wind chill is in the -30 range.

When I was a little kid, my brother (who was about 4 years older than me) and I built an igloo out of packed snow in our back yard and slept the night in it in warm clothes and sleeping bags.  It was a Canadian experience, but not one we ever wanted to repeat.  As well we had an upper and lower back yard, and we flooded the lower back yard to have a private skating rink.  Not being back there for so long I don't know if, because of global warming, such experiences are as possible as they were back around 80 years ago. 

I'm sad to say that my brother passed away about 7 weeks ago, which means I will not be posting many jokes on my Great NON-POLITICAL Articles group from now on - he had been my main source for them..

Thank you JR.  He was my only sibling, 4 1/2 years older than me.

Thanks Perrie.  He had been suffering for the past few months so it was a relief for both him and his son who was with him for the past year to look after him.  My sister-in-law passed away about 10 years ago after about 35 years of remission from cancer.

Thank you GG.  He was usually just a conduit - passing on jokes his friends sent him on to me so I could post them.

I appreciate that Sandy.  I always looked up to him, not only because he was bigger than me, but he was also MENSA.

Hey, JR, did you post this as an example of social media posts that bore the shit out of people?

Not one member save for you and I have posted even a vote up of a comment let alone of the article.  At least there isn't anything negative, so Trump hasn't succeeded in turning NT members against Canada, because, after all, aren't those polite abOOters stealing America blind?

I dont know what makes people reply to various seeds.  I was listening to Canadian Sunset the other day and with all that has been going on with Trump and Canada I thought Id put it up along with a song about the winter weather since the eastern half of the country has winter weather problems right now.

Well, at least the death of my brother got to bring some life to your article.
