  • March Dancehalls

    From George J. Dance@3:633/280.2 to All on Fri Mar 1 10:45:32 2024
    The Toby Keith Dancehall was fun, and gave me the idea of doing more career retrospectives. I'm proposing that the four of us contributing each pick an artist who died earlier for the four weekends.

    The first 4 February Dancehalls were in the order:

    Zod
    MD
    GD
    Will

    I'd suggest we keep to that order for the month, provided (touch wood) there are no deaths to interrupt it.

    MD likes the idea, and has picked an artist already.

    How about Leonard Cohen?

    An excellent choice. I'll open it later today, after I update the poetry blog.

    Damn. "Not available in your country" (ie, Canada). And this is from the LeonardCohenVEVO channel, too. I'll have to check for other versions.

    Leonard Cohen VEVO won't let me see it; it's "Not available in Canada". There's lots of versions online, but most of them are stills or covers. Here's the best live performance I've been able to find:

    This seems to happen more often than I'd like.

    At least there's a version of some kind.

    Hopefully my choice will play.
