Bravo pour l'album!!! Je l'ai beaucoup écouté... j'aime beaucoup "triste", "moment's notice", "wave" et tant d'autres. Pour "django" il me semble que vous avez simplifié la grille des chorus... mais enfin, pourquoi pas? En tout cas, bravo! Nashtir .
Ça y est, le nouvel album est enfin dans les bacs (voilà bien une expression que l'on risque de ne plus utiliser encore très longtemps!!) depuis le 26/10...
...et je dois dire que je n'en suis pas peu fier !!

Un sourire ne coute rien et produit beaucoup, Il enrichit ceux qui le recoivent Sans appauvrir ceux qui le donnent. Il ne dure qu'un instant Mais son souvenir est parfois eternel. Personne n'est assez riche pour s'en passer, Personne n'est assez pauvre pour ne pas le mériter Il crée le bonheur au foyer, soutient les affaires, Il est le signe sensible de l'amitié. Juste un petit "grand Coucou".Ya des news sur ma page. Viens faire un tour. Jessica Dorsey
