As regards culture, we are lucky in Montpellier. We are spoiled! on last Friday I attended a wonderful "spectacle" of music and poetry at the Médiathèque Emile Zola.
Poet Denis Hirson and very beautiful actress Sonia Emmanuel read poems by South-African poets, and by Denis Hirson himself. The readings were punctuated by the music of Steve Potts, a very well-known musician who was born in Ohio but has lived in Paris for a long time. He plays the saxophone and the clarinet (at times both instruments at the same time).
This was a great evening. A lady in the audience said it was "sublime." I agree with her. It was one of the most beautiful cultural events I ever attended. Just perfect.
Today March 10th is my son Greg's birthday. I sent him an e-card this morning but I have not heard from him yet. Birthdays were funnier and happier when he and his brother were little children.
musique et poesie, le parfait mélange, voila une soirée que j'aurais adore. Merci de nous la faire partager
RépondreSupprimerje vais demander une photo dédicacé à Mr Manuel Valls pour toi ;o)) moi, je préfère la chanteuse ;o))
RépondreSupprimerI envy your opportunity to hear this poetry and music. You are fortunate.
RépondreSupprimerAnd yes, sometimes somethings were better previously...
But, Happy Birthday to your son!
Hi again, Marie...I looked at your beautiful gallery...but I think this is a different springs...not Silver Springs Park.
RépondreSupprimerThere is another springs nearby which has manatees...
Nevertheless, your photos are wonderful and so typically Florida!
Thanks for sharing.
n'ayant pas lu la version anglaise entière (mais pourquoi la version française a disparue ;o)) ), je n'avais pas vu que c'était l'anniversaire de ton fiston, alors HAPPY ANNIVERSAIRE et que la fête commence ;o)
RépondreSupprimerLe genre de soirée à laquelle je participerais volontiers.
RépondreSupprimerLes mamans sont souvent les premières à se souvenirs des anniversaires... le principal c'est de fêter même si c'est un lendemain.
Cultural events that include music and the written word can definitely be labelled as "sublime."--the woman was right.
RépondreSupprimerDésolée, Marie, pas trop le temps de m'attarder to day, Je verrai demain si c'est possible.
RépondreSupprimerde beau portrait une préférence pour le saxophoniste qui lit sa partition
RépondreSupprimerBon anniversaire Greg, tu lui offres un beau morceau de musique.
RépondreSupprimerIndeed Marie - birthdays are so special for little children. The excitement tends to wane as they age. Lots of birthdays and anniversaries happening at our place too :)
RépondreSupprimerYou really are spolied cuturally in Montpellier and it's one of the reasons I loved my visit there.
RépondreSupprimerI go to a lot of poetry readings. But I don't always think to take pictures (I guess I am busy listening). You were good to get photos.
RépondreSupprimerI miss my two daughters who are 400 miles away and one is going to move even farther away. I know what you mean about birthdays! . . .
