A slight change of pace today, here's a three-pack that I picked up in France. I think it could have included more Django, but with 43 artists performing 54 songs it's a decent collection. My favorite here is Barnaby by Fernandel. Edith Piaf alert! (there are three tunes). Enjoy. + + +

Thes french oldies remind me of the days when I was a kid. The radio was on from early morning till late evening. Just post-WW2.
Thank you Chester for these beautiful songs. The music and songs from before the war were the roots of the music I love. Too much to mention.
You're welcome. I just wish I had picked up more when I had the chance.
Chester,
This post has reminded me that I own a Jean Sablon compilation released by the now discontinued label ASV. It is called J'Attendrai and features many of his great recordings in French (backed by Django Reinhardt on many), as well as a couple of tunes done in English for the US market. I don't know if you like Jean Sablon, but if you do and would like to have this out-of-print CD, please let me know!
Cheers,
Anton.

Mais, oui! Send me a message with the link and I'll post it so we can all hear it.
Chester,
I don't have your e-mail address -- where can I find it?
Thanks,
Anton.

P.S.: By the way, I have finally gotten around to translating my article on Doris Day's Love Me or Leave Me soundtrack into English and just posted it in my Vintage Bandstand blog
Anton, I've got your blog linked on the left. I don't publish my email, but if you send me yours in a comment I'll send you an email (I won't publish your email address).
Bravo, Uruguay and Mexico! Am watching Argentina-Greece now.
I am happy about Uruguay and Mexico, although down deep in my heart, I was hoping that South Africa would make it through, after their stunning performance against France, who seemed more like the cast of a bad soap opera than like a soccer team.
I am also watching Greece vs. Argentina on ESPN now (and flipping the channel to ESPN2 now and then to follow Nigeria vs. South Korea).

I couldn't watch the Argentina game, as it was a fait accompli. Nigeria - South Korea was an exciting match, and it's a shame that Nigeria couldn't finish. But if you get that many chances to tap in a ball and miss the goal completely, then maybe they didn't deserve to advance. Tough loss, but excellent match.
Thanks btw, for resurrecting the comments on this post. I just found a typo in the last song on disc 3.
