But, with Memorial Day Weekend upon us here in the States, it is the unofficial kickoff of Summertime…

This week’s show is short, sweet, tight, tidy & lively.
Since the holidays & through to last week’s epic 5-hour St. Patrick’s show, the shows have all mostly been well over 3 hours. This week – and I think in ensuing weeks – I am going to aim for a 90 minute show. I may occasionally go over that, but…
So, this week’s episode is all about Spring. It is one of my favorite times of year – not too hot, not too cool. Just right.
Kinda like this week’s show…
Enjoy!

This week’s show is dedicated to the people who perished in Paris this week & the ideas for which they died – that must live on forever in us all.
In the closing hour or so of this show, I bring you songs & melodies derived with Paris & France & freedom in their hearts.
I close the show with Edit Piaf’s classic “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien.”
Please read the words – with English translation – below.
“Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien”
Non, Rien de rien
(No, nothing of nothing)
Non, Je ne regrette rien
(No, I regret nothing)
Ni le bien qu’on m’a fait
(Not the good things that have been done to me)
Ni le mal tout ça m’est bien égal
(Nor the bad things, it’s all the same to me)
Non, Rien de rien
(No, nothing of nothing)
Non, Je ne regrette rien
(No, I regret nothing)
C’est payé, balayé, oublié
(It’s paid for, swept away, forgotten)
Je me fous du passé
(I don’t care about the past)
Avec mes souvenirs
(With my memories)
J’ai allumé le feu
(I lit the fire)
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
(My troubles, my pleasures)
Je n’ai plus besoin d’eux
(I don’t need them anymore)
Balayés les amours
(Swept away my past loves)
Avec leurs trémolos
(With their tremors)
Balayés pour toujours
(Swept away for always)
Je repars à zéro
(I start again from zero)
Non, Rien de rien
(No, nothing of nothing)
Non, Je ne regrette rien
(No, I regret nothing)
Ni le bien qu’on m’a fait
(Not the good things that have been done to me)
Ni le mal tout ça m’est bien égal
(Nor the bad things, it’s all the same to me)
Non, Rien de rien
(No, nothing of nothing)
Non, Je ne regrette rien
(No, I regret nothing)
Car ma vie, car mes joies
(Because my life, my joys)
Aujourd’hui, ça commence avec toi
(Today, it begins with you)
