Thank you Mr. Leonard Cohen!

One of our favorite artist of all times is releasing a "long been waiting for" album today : "OLD IDEAS", and this is Leonard Cohen. Since the first time I heard a song from Leonard Cohen (Thanks to my older sister) I have been in love with his music, just can't get enough of his beautiful lyrics and his deep soothing voice...Can't count how many nights Mr.Cohen helped me fall asleep by comforting my soul with his amazing songs...Thank you Mr.Cohen.



Here's some more info about the new album: OLD IDEAS by Leonard Cohen

We would love to know your special relationship with Leonard Cohen's music, are you happy about this new release?

Our great road trip! Part 2

OK, I took a long while before publishing the part 2 of this road trip story...Sorry! But here it is, I hope you can catch a glimpse of the feeling we had! (for those who didn't get part 1, here it is: part 1 )

We finally left Montreal on a quiet autumn night, listening to Neil Young’s amazing live album: Unplugged. I can still remember that moment when we sat in our van, buckled up the seat belt, start the engine and officially hit the road...Neil Young’s “old laughing lady” was playing, James was behind the steering wheel, his harmonica rack around his neck, he was playing with M. Young, Blondie, our dog, was sleeping between us... I had such a big smile on my face...We were finally on the road!  It was the beginning of an incredible 2 ½ years adventure, and to answer your questions, we are SO SO SO glad we did it...We felt amazingly free and happy!

We first went towards Ontario, Canada...and we actually had a little misadventure near Ottawa that almost had us go back home and cancel our trip... to be continued! 

In the meanwhile here's Neil Young's "Old laughing lady" to give you a sonic taste of what we heard while rolling those first miles of our memorable road trip...Just love this song...actually, this whole album is just so great!

Lightning fast drumming by Buddy Rich...

Just came across this video of the incredible drummer Buddy Rich...Wow! Amazing! He sure is fast! I love is little hi hat technique at 1:34min. I know as a drummer my strength is not my speed, but looking at him, I wish I could drum fast like this! They say dreaming is good...we never know, I might get struck by a lightning one day and get the gift of the speed of light...Until them I'll work my little fingers and wrists...

Our new album is out!

We are proud to announce that our first studio album is finally out! It is available digitally right now! James did about everything himself from placing the mics to the final mixes, the songwriting, the arranging, and of course, the performing! Just the drum playing was left to me! Got to say that James is amazing! I am impress with the result!
You can have a listen right here and tell us what you think... Enjoy!

create visually interesting webcontent

Just found a new website|web-community call «webdoc» (www.webdoc.com). It's really cool, it allows you to create visually interesting web content which you can easily share ...here's the first web doc I created just for the fun of it...it is kind of basic, but you can listen to one of our songs and dance a bit if you feel like it!

B is for Bob, M is for Marley

Because 30 years ago today the legendary Bob Marley died and because his spirit is still very much alive even just right here in my house with our little Ophelia, 2 years and a half old, who sings loud and clear everyday: "Don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing's gonna be alright" ( Well, its sounds more like: "Don't worrit 'bout a thsing, ev'ry thsing na be alright") "Three little birds" is her favourite song and she knows all the lyrics by heart and sings them with conviction even though she's really young. Every time the song starts playing, her face becomes all smiley and she automatically starts dancing, even her little 11 months old brother starts dancing...It's a moment of instant and pure happiness. 

So because of all this and much more, I'd like to say Thank you Mr. Bob Marley, your music is filled with magic, you soothe the heart and soul of so many still today, you bring happiness and hope to this world, Thank you for still being alive today!

sincerely, peace

Valerie
