Hello My Friend ! - What are you doing ????

Shutdown France ?

Hello, My Friend !
Hope you are fine? For me is it time close my house and leave France for a while. I’m packing and not so happy to do so, because I love this house, it was built in 1837 and brings me good atmosphere to relax. I’m sitting in my favorite ‘fauteuil’, you can see it near the window, with my laptop in my knee, listening to Luciano Pavarotti - "Nessun Dorma". He was a great opera star and I love to listen to him and I think you love his music too. The pictures are from the house and surrounding hill, near the village.Hope you are fine? I was very surprised and glad to read about you in the news. It’s a good for your career as a business woman!

The Winter is slowly coming to get you… don’t be afraid it happens every year:..
-- Yes, it’s time to lock and shutdown France for the winter?
very soon , Yes! Very soon!

It was time for the yearly social gathering and party in Pe

What's next?

and What Makes You a Good Friend?

friend

A person who would never intentionally hurt you, lie to you, deceive you, manipulate you, abuse you and who takes great care to be kind to you, honest with you, dependable and loyal. Someone who you trust without question because they have never given you any reason not to trust them. Someone you enjoy being around and look forward to seeing. Someone who would sacrifice them self for you.

YEAH!... a friend is a friend from the heart even when you are miles apart.

Music video with 2face Idibia: African Queen (4:36)
Lyrics

2face Idibia or Innocent Ujah Idibia (real name), is today one of the most popular artists in Nigeria. Last year was he given the MTV Europe Music Awards for "Best African Act".

I was listening to the music for the first time in French Polynesia, on the ferry between Moorea and Papeete. The music went directly into my hart and still bears in mind me off all beauty in real friendship.

Mariza "Chuva"

Lisboa and Fado Music of Portugal...
...was for me a new experience. Please, listen to Mariza !!!
The song "Chuva" from the fado Portuguese singer Mariz is so lovely.

Mariza is the best fado/popular singer since Amalia Rodrigues, the great classic fado singer. Her voice is outstanding. Such a hard style of music to sing and she does it so effortlessly. Yes, she is what you can call "A REAL ARTIST and MASTER OF HIS ART".

MARIZA - FADO EM MIM
This is the best cd of fado of all time?!

The final curtain!

Today is a sad day for us all,

tenor Luciano Pavarotti is dead

He was the Maestro, Il Divo, the greatest opera star and will now be singing together with the angels, soprano Maria Callas and tenor Enrico Caruso....

He was a great performer and will be Remembered !

He had the charisma and brought music to everybody. His charisma also enabled him to burst through the barricades of taste, class, repertoire and media that separate classical music from pop and rock music.

Pavarotti was a great opera star,
but first and foremost for us a great star!

The Three Tenors and colleagues, Domingo or José Carreras is now only two..... Pavarotti died at his home in Modena, Italy, at 5 a.m. local time 2007-09-06, in a age of 71 years.

Värmland Classic Festival

It’s time for the yearly music event for 'Classic Music Lovers' in my home town “The Värmland Classic Festival”

In the evening of the 5th of September was José Carreras on the stage together with Värmlandsoperans Sinfonietta conducted by David Giménez.

It was a lovely Open Air Concert with José Carreras, the brilliant tenor, and master from Barcelona. He is so brilliant, and was performing a great concert for us all.

Open Air Concerts is something special and I’m happy to be given the opportunity to take part in the event like this, only 5 minutes walk from home.

Thanks José for a grate evening and Welcome back !!!

You can find more information (in Swedish) about “The Värmland Classic Festival” at the official website:

‘Co Co’ - Pictures from Maupiti Airport

‘Co Co’ is a nickname of a lovely woman filled with plenty of energy! It must be wonderful to have your own chef at home, waiting for you with ‘Saumon a`la Crème au Muscadet’ and ‘Asperges au Beurre d’Estragon’ or ‘Girolles a`la Créme Fraiche’ .... after a hard day's work. :-)
Happy Co Co !!!




Note: As far as I know is the man on the pictures not the chef back home…
