The other side of Paradise…

  Sitting on the foot of the bed, she sighed deeply. The memories flooded her fragile mind as she poored herself a second glass of Pinot Noir, her favorite poison in times of sorrow. The hotel room was perfect, it always was… Her “team” always made sure to have things set just as she liked…… Continue reading The other side of Paradise…

Cyranny’s Jukebox…

  Ok… I am cheating tonight. This is not in French. And it  is not from Québec. But I was watching a quizz on tv, and there was a question about Tracy, and my mind went back in the early nineties… And I jumped on YouTube, and starting listening to the tunes, and one thing…… Continue reading Cyranny’s Jukebox…

Cyranny’s Jukebox…

  Daniel Bélanger… Why Daniel? Because he is one of the best singers/song writers to emerge these last 25 years. Because every song he comes up with is good. Because he is one of the best showmen I have seen on a stage, singing and playing beautifully, then talking for long moments, to connect with…… Continue reading Cyranny’s Jukebox…

Cyranny’s Jukebox

  I know… This series is usually dedicated to French music from Québec. But this song just has been on my mind for days. Both clips are for the same song… Just two versions, that I equally like 🙂 I hope you enjoy….   https://youtu.be/OXWrjWDQh7Q   https://youtu.be/gCoZ2DuRgeQ

And don’t hesitate…… Continue reading Cyranny’s Jukebox…

Cyranny’s Jukebox…

  I was in the subway this afternoon (the underground train, not the sandwich, just so we’re clear) and I was listening to my IPod (sooooo 2010, now everybody uses their cellphones, just not me! Stop judging!). I had an idea… I decided to start a series of posts to introduce you to music from…… Continue reading Cyranny’s Jukebox…

I’m your man…

Oh yeah Leonard, you’re the man, for sure… Not quite Mads Mikkelsen, but then again, I can’t ask that from every man alive, since there’s only one Mads. But Leonard Cohen is one of Québec’s treasures, and I often end up YouTubing him when I am sitting alone in the evening… Leonard calls for a…… Continue reading I’m your man…

Living dangerously…

I can be such a daredevil. I can be wild and mindless and do the craziest things… Sunday morning, sitting on the couch, preparing posts that probably won’t make it to the “Publish” key, I tune in the Adult Pop channel but I leave the Stingray application off. Dang am I daring! To those of…… Continue reading Living dangerously…
