Leonard Cohen and the Spanish guitar.

Hi kids!
One week ago (November 7th) the famous poet, musician and writer Leonard Cohen died.  He was born in Canada. Most of you probably know him for many of his songs, or at least one of them, Hallelujah. I'm sure you have played it on your recorder.
We feel deeply sad.
In 2012 he came to Spain to receive the Asturias Prince prize for literature. This is what Leonard Cohen told that day. It's a beautiful story.
I hope you like it.
