We had started to learn French a couple of years before and our teacher sang lots of songs with us. One I won't forget was Georges Brassens, La cane de Jeanne.

I let it run for a few tracks that did little for me.

Just to continue the wee Judy Collins' love-in that's been going on elsewhere on these pages, a wee bit of Judy taking on Jacques Brel's 'La Chanson Des Vieux Amants' from 1967's 'Wildflowers'.
