Who By Fire / L.Cohen - Ermengarde Tenderstone

Cover of Leonard Cohen's "Who By Fire", a song I've loved for decades, with an uptempo twist. I'm guessing it's about many ways in which people can die.

When working with my trio Tempo Rubato in the 90s we always opened our set with this one! We had Johnny Downs on mandolin and Scott Sherrill on congas. My previous trio, Folk You Too, included Richard Robbins on flute and Paul Samuelevitch on guitar. Where are you guys now?!
