Hello friends !
Some of you encouraged me on my work trying to do the best on french covers of songs from the Master G.L.
My covers are avaibable on http://www.soundclick.com/sevy
at a very reasonnable price. One of my friend used to say that a good job is a finished job... mine is finished..."you" will say if it is good.
I play with a banjoist and a bassist who is too a great pianist, synthé and sound engineer.
NUIT D'HIVER, is a french cover of SFAWN
You have already heard LA RAISON DE MA VIE cover of Inspiration Lady.
DANS LA FORET is a cover of Home from the Forest.
JE NE SAIS PAS, a cover of I"m not saying.
I work on editing the CD (but in france, its a real war against administration... there is allways a missing paper !!!)
Thaks a lot for your attention !
Yves

Hey Yves, Salut comment ca va. Keep it up , if it pleases you to do it, that's what really counts. You ever thought of doing Sundown, {Couchez Du Soleil}. Or Jessie- Jo, TWOTEF, Le Naufrage De Le Edmund Fitzgerald. What part of France do you live? Tu doit surement avoir entendu parler de Roch Voisine...

Of course I have heard of Roch Voisine , we see him often on TV.
Answering your question, I live in the west center of france, on the banks of the river Loire near between Angers and Saumur.
I m a 57 old P.E. teacher in a college.
I ve never heard Sundown... i m ok to try and sing it or adapt it in french... send me an MP3.
ysavari@club-internet.fr
This song about the Edmund Fitzg is a great one but the song keep one of its interest of the telling of the story. An adaptation would certainly not have the same interest for french listeners...eventualy for french speaking canadians...but most of them must speak and understand english I suppose..
see you
Yves

Love your voice, Yves, and your interpretations. Just downloaded some MP3s for myself! Keep 'em coming!!

SilverHeels 05-20-2006 04:39 PM

Yves, you should consider covering 'I'm Not
supposed to care'. It's perfect for you.

Yves, wonderful interpretations!! Your voice is just incredible. I love the banjo - very subtle, but adds a distinctive dimension.

charlene 05-21-2006 04:16 PM

Nice stuff Yves,

I just bought the four singles, loaded them to iTunes and got them on my iPod. I do not claim to speak or understand more than a few words of French BUT I know what I like and I like them.

Keep up the good work !!!

Bill :)
