I love your cats and your memory for the music you've heard and the things you did in 2013 puts me to shame.

Merci. La musique adoucit les moeurs… et réjouit le coeur, celui des chats aussi :) Ce choeur russe m'a rappelé mes années là-bas, les tons nostalgiques, tristes mais aussi si joyeux parfois.<br />Vos voyages en musique sont passionnants et ces anciennes cartes, touchantes.

Tu sais, mon fils et sa petite famille habitent pas loin de la Cigale, dans le 17ème (métro Rome) et auparavant il était encore plus près, quand j'allais chez lui je prenais le métro à la station "Blanche". Tes chats me font rire, à Noël j'avais des petites souris en feutrine dans mon tout petit sapin (mon petit fils n'a que deux ans) et figure toi qu'il y avait une souris qui avait fait son nid dans le canapé-lit ! J'ai regretté de ne pas avoir de chat mais avoir un chat est une responsabilité.<br />Notre petit fils a reçu une "petite guitare" pour Noël, son rêve (en réalité un ukulele). Et pour lui j'ai retrouvé mes CD de guitare classique : Lagoya et Ségovia. Et bien entendu aussi des chants de Noël...<br />Heureuse année 2014 à toi et aux tiens ! Tout aussi riche que 2013 en rencontre et en voyages.Cergiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623905868861239570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-58537014427586110612014-01-03T06:34:02.717-05:002014-01-03T06:34:02.717-05:00What a grand year 2013 was!

I spent New Year in Paris a few years ago and on New Year's Eve went to the Chapel of the Louvre to hear a Russian Choir: it was quite magical. Later we walked back beside the Seine to our apartment in the Marias and English, American, French and Dutch all sat down together to eat. It was the best New Year ever.<br /><br />I wish you and yours all the very best for 2014.swefflinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966574718104896830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-50956038115773704512014-01-02T04:38:54.741-05:002014-01-02T04:38:54.741-05:00Dear Vagabonde, you wrote of the State Capella, ma...Dear Vagabonde, you wrote of the State Capella, may be they were of Saint Petersburg Capella. We have the great Capella and I sometimes go to listen to their chorus. There is a boys chorus as well. The song Однозвучно гремит колокольчик is very touching and I always listen to it with tears. The words are:<br />Однозвучно гремит колокольчик <br />И дорога пылится слегка <br />И уныло по ровному полю<br />Разливается песнь ямщика<br />If you compare these words with your translation you'll realize that it is perfect!<br />Happy New Year!Nadezdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159291982383302922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-22989726144148799772013-12-31T19:41:41.451-05:002013-12-31T19:41:41.451-05:00Happy New Year My Friend ;o) Wishing you many bles...Happy New Year My Friend ;o) Wishing you many blessings!
