Item Description
All proceeds from this event will support the YMCA Boulton Center’s mission to continue programming marquee entertainment, providing a space where both audience and performer can enjoy the intimacy of a small room and artistic excellence.
Lyrics are printed on 12x16 inch heavy stock white cardboard. Two signatures, one below in black and the other above in gold were signed by Marc.
Here's the story about this song:
When Marc was touring he would introduce "True Companion" with some version of this story:
"Here's a tune that I wrote in the back seat of a cab going to meet my girlfriend. I'd been living with her for about seven years and all she asked me the last three was, 'How come we're not yet?'" (female audience members murmur knowingly) "I didn't really have the answer and I wrote this before I knew that I was ready to be a married man. Songs kind of tell you where you're at sometimes. I sang this tune to her in the restaurant and I was excited because I thought it was a great lyric and she was excited because she thought it was a proposal." (laughter) "Men are scum!" (more laughter) "OK, I'm scum. But it worked out in the end. We did get married and we have a baby boy now, six months old." (lots of applause)
Sorry to be a buzzkill, but sadly this union did not last. The couple divorced in the late '90s, and in 2002 Cohn married the TV journalist Elizabeth Vargas. His two children from his first marriage attended the wedding, and his son Max, who he talked about on stage, was his best man.
This is one of the most popular wedding songs of all time. For couples looking for a contemporary song about finding that magical person to share your life as a lover and friend, it's a winner.
