At the Leonard Cohen tribute concert, we were treated to a fantastic rendition of "Bird On The Wire" beautifully performed by Perla Batalla..
In her intro, she told a story about Leonard Cohen once asking her to sing "Bird On The Wire" at a concert he was giving for a special person...teacher...master.
"But that's your song. I only know the la, la's and the ah, ah's."
LC insisted she do it.
So with a friend who plays guitar, she practiced singing it for days until she felt confident.
One day she said to the friend, "Today I own this song".
Her friend responded,, "No, this song owns you."
