I' See the sunset ih the Montage beautiful Thank you verymuch

[Acadianiste]

wow, I have just found the original cassette of this song in my things.

[RainhadoCanto4]

@Acadianiste

If it is the one I am thinking, you have a lot more of his songs on it, to include one in which he sings with his wife, which is beautiful!

God bless you!

[Acadianiste]

Yes there is at least 10 songs on that tape, I might upload some one day!

[RainhadoCanto4]

Yes! Great idea! I wanted to do that but don't have the patience to convert to MP3! I love "La femme du capitaine!" It is so very sad but beautiful!

I will be looking forward to seeing you upload some!

[Acadianiste]

Oh yes, that song is on the tape, I am thinking about doing some kind of image montage to go with that song. If I ever come around to find the time to do it, i'll tell you.

[RainhadoCanto4]

He sings much about "Le pecheur Acadien", and barges, and capitains, and beautiful Acadie!! "Vien voir Acadie," to be another of his songs!

All of this would make for a wonderful theme!

I cannot wait to see the result!

[Acadianiste]

Oh yes, I know him, I come from his hometown. I first heard Donat sign I think I was lik 8-9 years old. He is a colourfull character. In those days, he once came to my home for my father (for business concerning his fishing boat), he was asleep and I told him so, and he just said with a grin on his face: "oh come on, go wake him", at the time, I did not know he was a celebrated signer...

[RainhadoCanto4]

Ha Ha Ha! WHAT A NEAT ANECDOTE!! I JUST LOVE IT!!

He seems to be a very nice guy, very easy going! I know locals have asked him to sing at their loved ones' funerals, and he accepts!

But I love your story!!

[curlercan]

Awesome, not being religious today, I did go to a religious retreat when I was young and this song stuck with me...was watching tv and a tune reminded me...looked it up and there you were! I'm also from NB.

[RainhadoCanto]

@curlercan

Ah! An Acadien!! Your English is good!

I met up with a bunch from your neck of the woods and their English was not anything about which to boast! Their Cajun French a bit difficult to understand, also!

I love this song! Religious or not, it sort of makes you "spiritual!" Who knows, it may turn your steps back to Him! I hope so!

God bless you, and thanks for your comment!

[curlercan]

ha ha! Yes, je suis Acadienne! NB is pretty bilingual therefore even though I attended all French school, I spoke English all my life. I went to teach French in Louisiana after I graduated from Universite de Moncton. Cajun French is different but you get used to it after a while! Bonne journee!

[RainhadoCanto]

Oh! My friend is from near Moncton! The area is so very beautiful, but too cold!! Brrrr! They hardly have a decent amount of warm weather!

Gee! From there to Louisiana is a long way,... but a whole lot warmer!

Another singer from your hometown area is Alys Robi! Oh! I love her. Her CD to me had to come from NB. Not even in Ontario could I find anything of hers!

I live right across the border!

Bonne nuit!

[curlercan]

I must look up that singer. You are in Maine or Ontario? We now live in NH. Read about your son. So sorry.

[RainhadoCanto4]

@curlercan

Thank you!

I live in Niagara Falls, the U.S. side!

Oh! I treasure the only CD I have of hers.

There was a movie made of her life, I forget the title, but the actress (I think Acadienne, also) who portrayed her was simply unbelievable! It gave me the goose bumps to listen to her singing Robi's songs!

Actually a friend in Quebec sent me the DVD. I only have a thousand DVD's, so I don't have it handy.

You would love it, although it is very sad. She still sings in Quebec, I think!

[RainhadoCanto]

@curlercan

@curlercan

Here it is! The actress playing Alys Robi looks just like her!

Alys Robi - "Ma vie en cinémascope"

[curlercan]

Super thanks! I'll check her out!

[sieurmag]

Vive Donat LaCroix! ;)

[LAF0310]

Your friend is really a gifted soul. Such a wonderful gift from the Lord. Kindly extend my best regards to him. Post more! Thanks

[RainhadoCanto4]

I do not know LaCroix. He is a friend of a friend of mine, who lives in New Brunswick.

I will post more of his songs later on. I have to convert them from wma to mp3. I have the program, just not the time. But they are all in French. Do you know French?

I have been taking advantage of the great weather we have been having, doing some extra work around the yard! I am ready for next year!

Thank you!

[LAF0310]

Awesome video and song. Your description/testimony made me teary eyed ... i remember a person so dear to me ... my dad who passed away last year. I am his only child. But i am still happy knowing that he's in God's loving care now. Thank you for posting this song. God bless! 5*****

[RainhadoCanto4]

Please accept my heartfelt condolences!

Bryan was my only child. My biggest concern is that I raised him Catholic, not having experienced being Born Again until afterward. So, I am not assured as to his salvation! But, God knows best, and I believe His promises!

[deajahnee09]

helga beautiful pictures, do not know what is being said, you never told me what happened with ur son, u know my story, if u want to talk about it. r u going to church anywhere?

[RainhadoCanto4]

Hi! Long time no speak! I thought to call you the other day, but it got to be a bit late!

We must get together! Give me a call! We live so very close and here we have to talk on YouTube!

The pictures: NOT A ONE IS MINE! My friend was so very thoughtful to figure out how not to use the picture I had, which would not have worked! I am very touched just by such thought!

Call me right now! I guess we are both home!!

By the way, I am about to post the translation!

[HispanicPatriot]

Thank you for the wonderful clip.

And very sorry to hear about the passing of your son.

[RainhadoCanto4]

Thank you for your sentiments!! I owe it to StephenLoneWolf! I am very touched with the pictures he provided in making the video!

This is the third time our paths cross today!!

God bless you!!
