oui! il a commence ce matin...

As I sat at Argo Tea on Armitage. Ispied on a duo speaking French. As I sat doing my sewing (who else does sewing in a tea shop?), I listened and caught phrases here and there. It just piqued my interest in learning French again. And then what comes up on the Argo soundtrack?

Thank Heaven for Little Girls - Maurice Chevalier

Thank heaven for little girls
For little girls get bigger every day!
Thank heaven for little girls
They grow up in the most delightful way!

Those little eyes
So helpless and appealing
One day will flash
And send you crashin' thru the ceilin'

Thank heaven for little girls
Thank heaven for them all,
No matter where no matter who
For without them, what would little boys do?

Thank heaven...
Thank heaven...
Thank heaven for little girls!

So eventually in the day I continue to do my sewing. But instead of putting on some music, I do what Eddie used to do. Put on a movie and just listen to it from another room. Le film du choix French Kiss! Gorgeous soundtrack Beautiful South covers "Dream a Little Dream" en francais. And Kevin Klein sings in French during the end credits...

Get to Parade practice and Tom Walsh is grinning b/c he has put on a CD. I almost instantly ask who it is b/c it is an AMAZING version of Van Morrison's Moondance. Its Micheal Buble and TOM WALSH has me swooning by going on about his French accent and his fantastic show at the Black Orchid. Then we dance to the next song and I'm inspired...one of the best dances I've had in long time. I so need a copy of that CD - one of the few CDs I would seek out for my miniscule Swing music collection. ~ c'est fin!

Au revoir et bonne nuit!
