Introduction - Leonard Cohen

Thank you so much friends

I was, I was having a drink with my old teacher

He is 102 now

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

And I poured him a drink and

He clicked my glass and said:

«Excuse me for not dying»

I kinda feel the same way

I want to thank you not just for this evening

But for the many years that you’ve tkept my songs alive

I appreciate it

I don’t want anyone to get alarmed

I know that you probably never seen

One of these before, but it goes by itself
