She is a butterfly midflap
As she flips through the air.
She is a vision in lace as she twists
Uncaring of her skirt as the wind
And sky caresses her thigh.
Her laughter rings out like that
Old cliché bell and I am in awe
That the beauty described in
Poetry exists in reality.

Dear Friends,
Here is the tour band:
Roscoe Beck - bass & vocal (Musical Director)
Sharon Robinson - vocal
Charlie and Hattie Webb - vocal, guitar, harp
Neil Larsen - keyboard, accordion, brass instruments
Bob Metzger - guitar, steel guitar, vocal
Javier Mas - acoustic guitar, oud & misc string instrument
Rafael Gayol - drums & percussion
Dino Soldo - keyboard, saxophone, wind instruments & vocal
Alexandru Bublitchi - violin
As you can see, the only change is the addition of Alex Bublitchi. Alex was the violinist for Acordes con Leonard Cohen, the series of Spanish tribute concerts that resulted in an album. Acordes con Leonard Cohen was when we were first introduced to Javier Mas.
Here are two videos from Acordes con Leonard Cohen that feature Alex:
The Gypsy’s Wife
Dance Me To The End Of Love
And here is Alex performing with Javier and Mario, Javier’s son, last summer

When the Príncipe de Asturias Awards are celebrated, many important people came to my city. 2011 was the year for Leonard Cohen, who visit my university. We could sent him notes and stack them in boards, then he came and saw our messages for him. Hallelujah.
