Julie Zenatti - Notre Dame de Paris
The French can sing out the ingredients and flavourings from the back of a cornflake packet, and make them all sound good. This is a Moody little piece from Notre Dame de Paris...."Zingara" by Julie Zenatti..I have been playing it a lot in the car at the moment....I love it.
"Interviewing" Gladys Jones for the sister blog this afternoon which should be lively, this documentation of memories will be a bigger job than I expected......last night I listened to the 2 hours I recorded from Trevor and Gwyneth.....a lot of it will make a cracking read I hope....however after most of the evening of analysis I had only managed to write a couple of paragraphs! Once more into the breach

She looks like a right handful. (Also, sorry to be pedantic, but it's "breach", not "breech", but maybe not in Wales?)
ReplyDeleteYou thought interviewing people was easy?Now you know why may occasionally appear a little tense...
ReplyDeleteHey Big John,
ReplyDeleteWanted to let you know Netflix finally got around to getting 'Mugabe and the White African.' It was a really good documentary. I knew basically how the ending would turn out and was saddened anyway.
It just pains me to see the kind of events happen to folks so far away. The film maker stayed true to telling the story from the land owner's view and could come off as higly biased. Well it should be; it is ONE FAMILY'S VIEW not the politicaly corrected version.
It is just scarey when one man has such power over so many for his own gain. I am guessing that statement can be said of many world leaders today. Thanks for the recommendation.
Your box is leaking frogs by the way! ROFL

I have never worked out quite why French songs always sound so sexy even if they are about something mundane.
ReplyDeleteThis was lovely. Yes, the French can certainly 'find' passion at the 'drop of a hat' it seems.
ReplyDeleteListen to the local French radio station daily.....just for their music.
Thanks for the intro.
French is so sensual. Love it.
ReplyDeleteYes, like that.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Ewart Evans wrote some good books about local folk base don interviews and his time in rural communities.
