Emily Bindiger is probably best known to Leonard Cohen fans as Cohen’s backup singer, along with Erin Dickins, during the 1974 and 1975 Tours and as a vocalist in the recording of New Skin For The Old Ceremony, including performing “Who By Fire” as a duet with Cohen. She is also an articulate writer who appreciates humor. In this Q&A, she reports that "Leonard’s tour has been my favorite gig of all time" and talks about how Leonard hired her, what is was like touring with him, and - especially - how funny Leonard was.

Dear Dr.
Thanks for sharing this very interesting interview. Emily's take on LC's humour makes perfect sense to me. My first response to Bird on a Wire
was wild laughter. Of course I was 19 at the time and my first response to a lot of things was wild laughter, but Leonard has never ceased making me smile.

Allan,

Your searching out and interviewing past members of LC's entourage - these are treasures! I love that Emily emphasizes his sense of humor. Thank you for this interview.

Warmest regards,
Mary
