Re: Recordings: do they exist?

[robert wiener <wiener...>]

Hayyim,

I don't believe that I knew about the Miriam Makeba version of "Where
Can I Go?" -- maybe someone can fill us in.

But I did know about the Leonard Cohen "Who By Fire" quoted below your
post.  Are there any other Leonard Cohen recordings that might
interest us?  Anything less common, especially in French?  In fact, I
think that I came across something in a museum in Montreal or Quebec,
but it might have been from a private recording and I don't remember
more.
