Lo'Jo's new record has been recently released and I really enjoyed this track which seems to draw influences from the Sahara, and sounds great for it. This is 'Permettez Majesté'

It's good to be ahead of the curve sometimes, even if only for a moment (or 1m 18s)

That gave me a lift, GT. Had been feeling a bit down, but it took me to a new level.

Bit up and down I thought.

Here and gone before we met them, G. it was worth the google, and at least a couple of chapters :

Heard 'Genesis Hall' last night and recalled it was the B-side of this wee bit of French translation by Fairport of the Dylan song that the Manfreds charted with.

Opening track of the brilliant ‘Unhalfbricking’ album - with some classic Sandy Denny - ‘Who knows where the time goes’ and ‘Autopsy’.

Heard Cora Vaucaire sing 'Le Temps des Cerises' on the radio last night and thought just how beautiful it was.

Thanks so much for this. It was new to me and I was pleased to find the text and some background detail in one of the comments from Erika, bit further down. It was written in memory of a nurse who died in the 1871 Paris Commune .. Il est bien court le temps des cerises.

Something different. The French like a good harp piece and I recently came across the appealing Fantaisie for Solo Harp by Camille Saint-Saëns.

Another track from the forthcoming record by Ballake Sissoko, this time accompanied by French singer, Camille. on a strangely beautiful track called 'Kora'.

Happy French Wednesday.

Hmm just came onto the forum to post the cracking new single by Ballake Sissoko and Camille which we can legitimately sneak in under the cover of French Weds....
