I loved this quote from Nana Mouskouri.  She has been a friend of Leonard Cohen for decades and was describing a meeting between Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan in 1974.  " You should have seen Leonard and Bob together.  Neither of them are what you would call a talker, so when they had a conversation it was like watching a game of chess.  Everything happened very slowly and each word had so much meaning" 

This website has some good Dylan- Cohen connections

Did you know Cohen's last tour was to NZ?
