My french teacher in high school taught us the words to "Milord" and I have been an Edith fan ever since.
I went to a museum dedicated to "The Little Sparrow" in Paris several years ago. She had a very sad life...

4. The worst is I'm listening to it right after watching Sex and the City |
|
which makes me even more whimsically sad since there are only 2 episodes left of my favorite TV show
:cry:
probably all these candles lit around my place add to the mood

my neighbors already think I'm crazy.
But the music makes me feel hopeful too.

11. The greatest chanteuse de toute l'histoire |
|
Boatloads of French colonials fleeing revolution-torn Algeria in 1962 sang "Je ne regrette rien" at the top of their lungs. They were leaving a land they loved (and where they were hated) and were due a hostile reception once they crossed the Mediterranean and made it to France. Piaf made them feel better, too.

haven't listened to her in ages though. I have kind of been on a Lotte Lenya kick lately, singing Kurt Weil and others.

OK, a whimsical question:
