In addition to their own love story, posted at Love & The 1970 Leonard Cohen Tour http://1heckofaguy.com/2012/02/14/love- ... pid-cohen/, backup singer Susan Musmanno and guitarist Elkin "Bubba" Fowler have provided information about the 1970 Leonard Cohen Tour in general from their unique perspectives.

In today's post, you can read about the Leonard Cohen Hayride, frightening times on the tour, hanging out in Jimi Hendrix's trailer at the Isle of Wight, the Army busting Bubba for missing a plane, Leonard Cohen's characterization as "a scruffy dude," the "hippie chic" attire of the backup singers, the one bad performance of the tour - and who caused it, and more.

And here's a teaser in the form of a quote from Susan Musmanno:
Words to describe Leonard — enigmatic, seductive, gentle. A mysterious and benign presence. Warm, yet distant. Inscrutable. Charming. There is something so deeply endearing about him. I loved him then, and always will.
