Thanks for your votes... but for now, the song is in the deepness of the charts...LOL.
I posted under another nicname (Frenchyves)others songs on Sounclick. Among these is a version of Song for a winter's night. I call it a joke version because you will think I m in front of an audience... but the truth is that I'm in my room facing my computer and mic...and alone. T'was just a joke for a friend of mind whom I told that I have had to do in a hurry the first part of a known singer coming in my town...well, 57 but still joker ! this time, it is on http://www.soundclick.com/frenchyves different adress than http://www.soundclick.com/sevy have good time !!

Well...it's certainly no joke Yves - that is stunning...and again I must say that you and Bill HAVE to work on a duet....absolutely HAVE to....
thank you for sharing - it's made a grey, rainy Toronto day much much nicer... merci merci merci. |

WOW!
Yves, The five songs on your other link have an mp3 download, and I have put them on my music player. Any chance of getting an mp3 link for La Raison De Ma Vie ? You are brilliant!!! Thank you very, very much. |
Oh yes, I voted HOT for the two GL songs. :)
And they ARE hot! |
Oh my gosh, Yves, I have GOOSE BUMPS!! When the song ended, I'm not sure who was cheering and clapping louder, the 'faux audience' on your recording or ME! :)
Like David, I downloaded all of the songs at that site so I can listen any time. They are all beautiful, but my favorite of the non-Lightfoot songs is "Ultime Chaine" - it just sounds so sad and fragile with the harmonica really adding to that lonesome feeling. Just stunning! |

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page...?bandID=529732 So I had to download the mp3. I have just played it as I wanted to compare the recording with Yves' original recording of his translated "Nuits d'hiver" and, being used to hearing Gordon sing it in English, it was several seconds before I realised that Yves was singing in English not French!! duh!!! I noted that his intonation of the word "near" was pretty well identical to Gord's despite the fact that as far as I know Yves has still only heard Tony Rice's bluegrass version. I must say that IMHO the added audience sounds are very neat and realistic John Fowles One little thing Yves. Your picture on that site is very small. I have saved it and enlarged it to the biggest I could without getting too blurry http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-...chyves_400.jpg Could you please upload the original which is pesumably much larger and clearer and either post its address here or better still display it in this topic Mercy buckets |

the corfid member map at:- http://www.frappr.com/corfid as discussed in topic:- http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...=003558#000000 If you go there you will find that the map of members in Europe is nearly bare http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-...fid_europe.jpg there are actually three of us in the UK plus David Bradford over in Sweden. I doubt if the map of France will ever be over filled or able to show many members until your fame spreads.I also think it way overdue for corfid's creator Florian to add Vienna,Austria to the roster. Which reminds me that there is one other keen Austrian fan (in Saltzburg) ex-Ontarioariorian Peter Schinwald (his sister was born in Orillia) See his February 1998 maiden Newsgroup posting at:- http://groups.google.com/group/alt.m...103446c?hl=en& Pete has a GL page on his own web site http://www.pete.at (presumably not many "Petes" in Austria!!) at:- http://www.pete.at/music.htm and some 1975 photos from Munich at:- http://www.pete.at/glmunich75.htm including:- http://www.pete.at/GL_2_MunichOct75.jpg Note Peewee Charles and http://www.pete.at/GL_3_MunichOct75.jpg Did somebody forget to shave??? Pete revisited the town of Washago Ontario http://www.pete.at/Washago.jpg in 1975 see:- http://www.pete.at/washago.htm and has visited corfid at least once (in 1999) see his 21 September entry in the guestbook at:- http://www.corfid.com/gl/gbook1999.htm That was in fact the day after Florian announced that corfid was open for business (see his Newsgroup posting at:- http://groups.google.com/group/alt.m...b705c3?hl=en&) the Newsgroup has of course been around rather longer (since November 1994 in fact) see:- http://makeashorterlink.com/?M3B512891 although its creator Wayne Francis' earliest Newsgroup posting (to a test group) was on 22 September 1992 see:- http://groups.google.com/group/ca.te...fbbd6ef?hl=en& (Wayne apparently posting from San Diego) he later posted re Gordon on another Newsgroup rec.music.folk including a reply to a question subject:- "Any Info on Gordon Lightfoot 3-cd set from Canada???" on November 13th 1992 at:- http://groups.google.com/group/rec.m...0f6d507?hl=en& and to which he posted the following on November 12th 1994 under the subject title "PROPOSAL: alt.music.gordon-lightfoot " "I am proposing the start of a newsgroup to discuss the music of Gordon Lightfoot" http://groups.google.com/group/rec.m...e38c3fd?hl=en& John Fowles Please forgive me for going on in rather great detail but having started I decided to complete some historical research that I intend to incorporate when I sooner or later get "around to" trying to complete my long planned GL "webring" All I need now is a "round tuit" http://www.a-ylifecoaching.com/images/content/tuit5.jpg [ April 26, 2006, 07:52: Message edited by: johnfowles ] |

I like the beard, John. (referring to Gord above circa 70's?) <she said smiling>
Also... my husband was born in Salzburg, raised in Toronto. |
To John FOWLES...
John, when I said that the 3 finished covers were coming in the next 3 days, it was what I thought... but I have to consider that my friend from the studio works for free (for me) and that, if the recording is finished, he needs a few hours to do the final mix. He is somebody very precise and precautionous so the good time for the "coming out" is up to him... ...and you know, I am on holidays and took the time to go in the south of france and see my children and little children, telling my self that a recording is not so important... happily I m not in showbusiness and there will be no echo on my life if I sell my poor 150 CDs a bit later... But I will respect the interest you pay to that work, doing as fast as possible. The photograph, is another joke ! this is my real face, but the body is Tony RICE's body taken on the record "Tony Rice sings G. Lightfoot" have a look at the neck you will see I m not so good at "photoshop". I will find and send a better photograph... Friendly. See you John Yves |
