Se Rapprocher
For the Great Request Raffle, I was assigned Move Closer, by Phyllis Nelson.
I'd actually never heard the song before but on repeated listenings it really grew on me. Great slow groove.
Some of the lyrics were super-cheesy so I thought a solution would be to sing it in a different language. Maybe French?
Then it occurred to me to go FULL ON SERGE GAINSBOURG and here we are. [more inside]

from Bizet's opera Carmen. Recorded with pianist Andy Kraus in the heat and humidity of a DC summer. [more inside]
As kids
A short instrumental, played over an old tape of me reading something in French as a kid. [more inside]
Weighin' me down
English, French, backup vocals, slide, banjo, bam!
Overheated
I recently dislocated my shoulder, and assumed music was out of the picture for a month or two. But I was getting pissed off at not playing, and discovered if I capoed everything up really high and didn't play anything too fancy, my arm could handle short bursts of pickin'. So I made a simple song, part French and part English.
Oh mon cher
A short song in French complete with banjo and an electric chord organ, which thankfully only has a few keys so can be played by a chump like me.
N'entre pas
A rough mix of a few languages and my dad's guitarone.
