Well. Finally made it to Pere Lachaise Cemetry - and got to see Edith Piaf's grave. Beautifully understated. A great walk around the site as well. But ... get this! I didnt make it to the other big musicians grave - one Jim Morrisons! Oh well. not sure i missed much!
Hope anyone who hasn't makes it here soon!

Oh well. In Paris now, so nothing major to report on the music front!! Loads of posters up for french artists who i have never heard of, and loads of Edith Piaf CD's for sale along the Seine (Left Banke -where of course the Love style band got their name?) but more a study in food and drink. from morning to night we have just been wandering from breakfast to lunch, via a beer! Then out to dinner for more food! Happy days! Off for a doze now before actually heading back out for a midgnight feast and a glass of Pecan beer (delicious!!)

As Mama Cass said- you can make your own kind of music (check it out on utube!) great song, a Weil/Mann song as well. Shame to see her old singing partner John Phillips in the press long after his death with an incest accusation. Instead let's listen to the music (or was that the Doobie's!) - Phillips had a great couple of solo albums out as well - one with the Rolling Stones as his session band! - check them out, they're great!
Anyway off to Paris for the weekend - so Je Ne Said pas, maybe I'll be lsitening to Claude Francois and Vanessa Paradis or preferrably a bit of Serge for a few days!!
Will try and write more but before then does anyone know any good second hand record stores En Paris?
bye for now.

What a month i have had! Not that you care - you all just love music! First I quit my over paid job, now i have been focusing on getting up to date with crap. Then we have a bathroom leak and the landlord decides to replace the whole bathroom. Kicking us out for a week and expecting us to be grateful for a cowboy job on the bathroom! So we are moving from posh Ailesbury Road, Dublin 4 to trendy Dublin 6!  Bring it on! 
Anyway - really meant what i said about wanting this to be a daily update - but been struggling with the live pages (think my home broadband is too small so keeps crashing!) But now finally got most of them up  give them a look! And - by the way, GREAT new album should be out by end of the year - Boo Hewerdine. God Bless The Pretty Things. BUY IT. He is brilliant!!
