    My mother died three weeks ago, we grew up with Cohen's songs, they were our lullabies. I saw Cohen in a restaurant in LA a couple of years ago (we are New Zealanders) and asked him for his autograph, I asked him to sign it to Prue (Gar) as she had made him our man. At her funeral 300+ of us sang along to your version of the song, it was so, so, so lovely. The grandchildren wanted to say something, one of the boys just listed what Gar meant to him, his first line was So long, Marianne. Thank you....she would have loved to have been there...and we will always have this.

    I am usually a purist when it comes to songs I love. To me, there is no popular cover of this song that is better than Leonard Cohen's original. However, this rendition gave me almost as many chills when I heard it as Mr. Cohen's version does
    . Definitely worth the listen. Thank you. All of you.

      It all depends on who walks thru the door. We are not an auditioned choir. We are a casual choir; what you see is the product of only a few hours practice. None of us get the arrangement until we get there. We actually got word back (thru a family friend) from Leonard Cohen that he likes our performance!
