Magnifique, sublime ! Un vrai plaisir pour les oreilles !

[MrNeuschwanstein]

Monsieur, c'est vraiment magnifique. Croyez moi.

[HenfieldWill]

@MrNeuschwanstein Merci mille fois! :-)

[leunamsiul1]

Bravo! Magnifico! I agree with one of the earlier comments - this should get more views. Love the music and the execution - it just get better and more beautiful as you listen to it. I see the passion in the facial expression. I find it enthralling as it gave flash backs of good ol' summer memories! Thank you for sharing. Hey ! I'll buy your CD if you have one!

[DaFuente]

Beautiful beautiful stuff!

Also, I loved you as Bernard in LOST :)

[HenfieldWill]

[HenfieldWill]

Thanks for the kind words - it's hard to ruin such a beautiful tune! :-)

[MrFrankParsons]

A beautiful song and a beautiful rendition.

[Mandolin1944]

Beautifully done -- you are certainly outstanding and its a REAL pleasure to listen to. As well that is a pretty fancy looking tenor guitar?

[HenfieldWill]

Thanks for your kind comments on this and other pieces. Glad you liked them. The tenor guitar is a little beauty, specially made for me by a local luthier and good friend. :-)

[Testacabeza]

I am still strugglin with this one, I can only remember until the modulation to A...so many changes.

[southcoastsounds]

Very relaxing. Its nice to hear a tenor guitar

[Testacabeza]

I've been transcribing the first bars where the melody matches the Franch lyrics. Now I need to understand how the chord progression matches with the melody.

Thanks Will.

[Killie03]

Lovely. Is it tuned GDAE or CGDA?

[HenfieldWill]

It's CGDA - like a viola, a 5th below a violin. :-)

[MerlynSchutterle]

I liked the chord progression. Where did you find the music?

[HenfieldWill]

I bought the sheet music (Raoul Breton publ.) from a French digital music site called Musique En Ligne - cost about €4.60. well worth it! :-)

[llamov]

Bravo, Will.

You are a musician's musician.

[2xVitamR]

fine as always.

Cheers

That ,Wil,l is beautiful song with a beautiful arragement

Thanks a lot for that, I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoy listening to it

[HenfieldWill]

Hi James - it's a tune I've loved since I first heard it as a small boy in the late 40s. I could play it for ever - but would probably bore everyone to death! I've tried to make the tenor guitar sing like a voice here, because I can't sing like Charles Trenet... :-)

[Jakov77]

great stuff

[Testacabeza]

That was beautiful. And a nice song to try to learn from you this weekend.

[HenfieldWill]

I don't have tab for this (I have the original sheet music), but I can send you the chords, if you like. Send me a YT message with your email address. :-)

[Testacabeza]

Thank you very much. I wanted to try to get the chords by ear but that would take me ages at the level I am.

I'll send you the YT message.

Cheers.
