Reading about Leonard Cohen’s travails with his ex manager/lover reminds me of an odd meeting from the early seventies. I was contacted by a Canadian girl called Pritchard Morgan (I can no longer remember how) who was looking for a bed for a night in Dublin.
I managed to find a bed for her in the flat of my friend Maire Scally. There was a Leonard Cohen concert in Dublin that night and she told us that she was a great friend- in fact that she was ; “the girl with chestnut hair” in “Dress Rehearsal Rag”.
The following day she told us that she had met him after the concert and he had taken her to “The Soup Bowl” restaurant for dinner. Then she left and I have never heard of or from her since,all I can remember is that she had a great head of red hair that she smelled strongly and not unpleasantly of coconut.
