With the sun leaving us alone a few more hours than Spring or Summer this weekend, I decided to do a show that saluted the more thoughtful autumn.  Ballads to be sure, but a few mid-tempo numbers too…

Enjoy!

Given this weekend’s heat,  I can’t think of a better way to cool down than some great tunes, a dip in the water & a great cocktail.

This show provides the first former, you’re on your own for the latter two.

Enjoy!

This week’s show is dedicated to the women.  It’s all women all the time on this one.  The first half of the show is standard issue standards.  The second half has some of those, but it’s decidedly different from the first half.  You’ll hear some blues, rock, folk, country & more.

To the women!

This week’s show is dedicated to the people who perished in Paris this week & the ideas for which they died – that must live on forever in us all.

In the closing hour or so of this show, I bring you songs & melodies derived with Paris & France & freedom in their hearts.

I close the show with Edit Piaf’s classic “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien.”

Please read the words – with English translation – below.

“Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien”

Non, Rien de rien
(No, nothing of nothing)
Non, Je ne regrette rien
(No, I regret nothing)

Ni le bien qu’on m’a fait
(Not the good things that have been done to me)
Ni le mal tout ça m’est bien égal
(Nor the bad things, it’s all the same to me)

Non, Rien de rien
(No, nothing of nothing)
Non, Je ne regrette rien
(No, I regret nothing)

C’est payé, balayé, oublié
(It’s paid for, swept away, forgotten)
Je me fous du passé
(I don’t care about the past)

Avec mes souvenirs
(With my memories)
J’ai allumé le feu
(I lit the fire)

Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
(My troubles, my pleasures)
Je n’ai plus besoin d’eux
(I don’t need them anymore)

Balayés les amours
(Swept away my past loves)
Avec leurs trémolos
(With their tremors)

Balayés pour toujours
(Swept away for always)
Je repars à zéro
(I start again from zero)

Non, Rien de rien
(No, nothing of nothing)
Non, Je ne regrette rien
(No, I regret nothing)

Ni le bien qu’on m’a fait
(Not the good things that have been done to me)
Ni le mal tout ça m’est bien égal
(Nor the bad things, it’s all the same to me)

Non, Rien de rien
(No, nothing of nothing)
Non, Je ne regrette rien
(No, I regret nothing)

Car ma vie, car mes joies
(Because my life, my joys)
Aujourd’hui, ça commence avec toi
(Today, it begins with you)
