hallelujah!

I've admired Rufus Wainwright immensely for some years now, and I had the privilege of seeing him play three times while I was still in the UK. So it was with great, great glee that I saw this announcement:

Darling daughter Viva Katherine Wainwright Cohen was born on February 2, 2011 in Los Angeles, California to proud parents Lorca Cohen, Rufus Wainwright and Deputy Dad Jorn Weisbrodt. The little angel is evidently healthy, presumably happy and certainly very very beautiful.

Daddy #1 would like to offer everyone a digital cigar and welcome the little lady in with a French phrase from his favorite folk song, A La Claire Fontaine : "Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, jamais je ne t'oublierai (So long I’ve been loving you, I will never forget you).".

Congratulations to all three parents! And dear lord, Viva has some big musical shoes to fill when she grows older. To that, have a clip of Daddy #1 singing Hallelujah live at the Fillmore.
