Episode 9 Back from France

We came back on this side of the English Channel from France after the weekend away on the Eurostar from Lille, but we could just have easily taken the slower train through the North of France and then Dover Calais Ferry across the English Channel. That's probably what I would have done if I still lived in East Kent rather than London. Anyway, I had to rush straight into doing the weekly podcast as usual, but having been away on a short break in France, I found myself singing one of the songs in French.

A couple of hours back from taking a short break in France, I still wanted to do the weekly podcast but episode 9 nearly got lost forever due a glitch with Ustream. This morning is had processed OK though, so here we have the Andy Roberts Podcast Episode 9 with some new and old songs as usual. I’m still working on the combined song about the walk and the rain, with the six string open tuned in D minor, so I had a go at that one live to kick off the show last night. There’s still more work to be done, but it seems to be a slow process with this one.

The other songs are all played on the 12 string guitar again.

My favourite song to sing in French, by one of France’s best loved singer songwriters from the 1970s.

Mazet – Andy Roberts

After meeting up with one of my old pals from the Cafe Mazet last week after 30 years, I couldn’t resist playing this one.

Now That I’m Living Here – Andy Roberts

Another Andy Roberts Revival song, I had to relearn the chords to this one last year but ever since have kept it high in the repertoire.

Maybe I'll learn that other song about "The Night Ferry is taking me home again". I remember the night ferry well of course, standing on the Western Docks pier at Dover waiting for the train ferry in the middle of the night and then having to walk all round the port at Calais to catch the train to Paris at the other end. Those were the days... NOt!
