When Sir Elton John announced that his Red Piano European Tour 2007 had been cancelled a few months back, fans everywhere were disappointed. Apparently the tour was cancelled due to technical difficulties with video screens, sets, props, and stage designs. What is sometimes easy to accomplish when one remains in a certain place such as […]
I spent an interesting afternoon with Martin Boumendil watching him work his keyboards and other instruments in an orchestration of sound, as images on a screen coordinated and blended the visual with the audio. It was quite fascinating to say the least! Martin is a young musician and composer with a nice melodic voice who […]
Anyone who has ever spent time in France knows who this 64 year old rock singer is. His career spans almost fifty years and if Elvis were still alive today, they more than likely would have done a duet together! Now that would have been something to see!!!
Johnny is the French rocker of all rockers, […]
Many know Vanessa as a fine actrice, others as the former representative of Chanel’s fragrance Coco, and still others as Mrs. Johnny Depp, although they’re not married. Rumour has it that after being together since 1998, they will be tying the knot soon.
Vanessa, however, to many, including myself, is still the young girl who came onto the music scene singing Joe le Taxi. […]
Just a few more days left to enjoy an evening of jazz at the foot of the Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre. Tonight Rhoda Scott’s Hammond organ will fill the air. The ever versatile Scott gives a blend of traditional jazz classics, French tunes, as well as Negro spirituals and Gospel from her impressive repertoire.
Tomorrow evening Lemmy […]
The last time the Ballet National de Cuba was in Paris was nearly ten years ago. This year two ballets are being presented from their repertoire at the Grand Palais, Giselle and Don Quixote. Coincidentally the Ballet de l’Opéra performed the same two ballets this season! Is this a showdown of sorts?
If you ask Hayna […]
It doesn’t seem possible that twenty years have passed since Dalida’s tragic death. I can still remember hearing the news on television, as if it were only yesterday. Perhaps it doesn’t seem that long because we still hear her singing on the radio, and people still talk about her as though she’s never been gone. […]
One of my favorite parks outside of Paris is the Parc de Sceaux, located just south of the city. With its château, large park, fountains, and walking paths, it’s easy to spend the day here. The town itself is quaint with plenty of little shops, boutiques, bookstores, and bakeries. One of my exes and I […]
Awhile back, I wrote that Barbra Streisand would be appearing at Bercy in June. Well, the date is fast approaching (June 26) and rather than ticket prices going up, or being sold out; they have actually come down! It seems that Europeans will not dish out the dough for BS!
Babs was asking, (if my memory […]
As I mentioned in one of my other blogs, I have a number of good friends, mostly artists and entertainers, from the years I’ve lived in the Cour Saint-Pierre. Odri is one of those friends. I’ve known her since she was a young teenager who would come to my apartment after school and talk to me […]
