Aéroport Charles de Gaulle - Unbreak My Heart

Aéroport Charles de Gaulle - Unbreak My Heart

I was 25 minutes late to CDG thanks to RER (Réseau “Express” Régional) and had to run once again to the terminal… But I’m a happy man !!!

I didn’t win 10 million Euros on Lotto today, but I received an email from Mme Agnès Cadart, a mail I didn’t expect to find in my mailbox, but I did !!! – Happy shit of me, she is alive !!! ....and I have received the first sign of life from her for over 100 years of waiting, it’s absolutely supernatural, it must be a sign of God and the Holy Spirit….?

Yeee-Haaa! Finally the good spirits is staying with me… this is maybe only a start, so let’s hope that Agnès Cadart keep on typing… maybe a new future is waiting in the mailbox tomorrow…..?

Oh yes, my mailbox has served me a divine email from somebody I didn’t expect to concern about me… she has caused me endless concern for many, many weeks and plenty of pain and headache.... ....but she has also caused me enormous happiness and hope for the day after tomorrow…

I'm concerned about you Mme Agnès Cadart and do hope you are okay even if your not typing for many weeks. I will continue listen to Toni Braxton “Unbreak My Heart” then the sunset turns me blue once more.

Je vous manquez sourire de chat et le soir, Take Care !

Mariza - Gente da minha terra

Mariza Nunes - Gente da minha terra
Lyrics (Also translated from Portuguese)

Mariza Nunes was born in Moçambique, 16 December 1973, and has grown up in Portugal from the age of 3. She is a very lovely multicultural combination, with a father from Portugal and mother with origin roots from India. She has always been singing and I do hope she continue doing so...

- Listen to a voice that has been singing fado since the age of five. I do hope you can feel the magic and power in her performance.... It is a music that is real and so far away from Broadway productions...

– Can You feel it ?

I dedicate this song to my oldest daughter who can’t hear the music anymore... and I dedicate this song to you, Mme Agnès Cadart, who made my life worth living one day more...

Paris - Val-d'Oise / Montmorency

Le Val-d'Oise

I'm living in Montmorency in Val-d'Oise (Paris), France.
I have learned (the hard way), after a study of my parking fee, that this is department number 95 ;-)

Yes, “Le Val-d'Oise est un département français, appartenant à la région Île-de-France” but all french people here call it “RP” the Région Parisienne and don’t like the administrative name Île-de-France. Anyhow it’s a lovely area to live in with two « parc naturels » filled with interesting people, some are jogging around with dogs trying to catch and hunt then down… AND just a few days ago I was eye witness when a small puppy was being “mudded” by two hungry dogs… So be careful when you enter the regional nature park in France…. ;-)

However:
Okay, it’s maybe too many dogs and too many rich people here to be “a normal French area” but it is a lovely area for me to live in for awhile.

A man told me that Val-d'Oise is named after the River Oise, but I have not seen any river accept La Seine, so it is maybe not so easy to find?

- What are you doing ????

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

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.

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 !!!
