Yves - that is beautiful.....even if it wasn't a Lightfoot song it still would be so impressive!
You're one talented guy....I can hear you and Bill doing a duet like I told you before....Bill singing the english words, you singing the french.....oh my that would be something!
Is there any way you'll make it over here to attend Massey shows and join in the jam sessions with all the other talented fans????

Hurry with the other 3 songs!

Fantastic, Yves! I think you should consider putting all of your French Lightfoot covers on a CD, and sending it to Gord! I'd bet he'd get a kick out of hearing them sung in a different language.

Oh, Yves, c'est magnifique! It's truly a gorgeous rendition -- you should be SO proud. And, as for me, I'd have to say I'm a sucker for a French accent. You could be singing "I'll be taking out the garbage this Friday night" and I'd love it, LOL!!!! Seriously, though, your interpretation is phenomenal. Truly from the heart. And thank you for this -- your gift to all of us.

Darn - now I really have to call Dell and find out why my new computer won't install Macromedia Flash Player. I really want to listen to this song as I have heard so many nice things about your music - beyond what is posted here.

Sheryl: "...I'll be taking out the garbage this Friday night..." - That was great! I laughed so loud that my friend came in from the other room to see what was so funny since he knew I was in here by myself :D

I am OK to try to write a french version of "Nous vivons ensemble"... but I have never listen to this tune. Please send me an MP3 version.
ysavari@club-internet.fr
I can't tell at once if I will be abble to write it... I need to feel an emotion at the music an the lyrics too.
Merci, thank you very much !
Yves

Now that the computer is functioning properly, I made a beeline over to listen to your recording. Yves, that is absolutely stunning! What a gorgeous voice and you play beautifully. Now I fully understand (and agree with) everyone's comments above.

I'm looking forward to hearing more songs.

Ok, I find very pleasant this interest on what I do around GL's art and say thanks to everybody.

post about "Nous vivons ensemble" : I read the text and don't know how I could do better than Gordon Lightfoot did because the first part in english is the mirror reflection of the second one in french... but I m still interested in listening the tune.

Yves, your accent would be 100% better than our Gord's, I think.

Dear friends and Gordon Lightfoot's fans...
You gave me the pleasure and pride of telling you like my version of "Inspiration Lady".
Many of you went to SOUNDCLICK (http://www.soundclick.com/sevy)
and listened to it so the song raised at the 29th row in the "acoustic folk cover songs" category. It"s not enough (LOL). So you can help the song in listening to it one more time and vote HOT in the system HOT or FLOP.
3 more covers will be ready next week.
Many things to all of you
Yves

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 !!
Yves
