Mono Monday...Summer Song Title

Bird On The Wire...Leonard  Cohen  


"The inspiration for “Bird On The Wire” came from Cohen’s time in the ’60s living on the rustic Greek island of Hydra. When he first arrived there, the island didn’t even have electricity, but Cohen soon witnessed the construction of telephone poles in this idyllic place. So there actually were birds on the wire to fire up the songwriter’s imagination, just as there were “drunks in a midnight choir,” since the island was also known for bouts of late-night revelry."


I  should be posting an image of the fabulous sunset again, it's been perfect weather today, hot in the sun, and the awful gusty wind has disappeared. I've been lazily dozing and reading, just having a G&T and cooking a simple jacket spud for dinner...
