As per the 1st link (sic: above) that was how i first heard Jacques Brel, Alive and well in Paris, ~forty year ago at the National Art Centre in Ottawa with Tiu.

Now according to the Citizen it’s a sequel but still the best of this year’s Stratford musicals says Jamie Portman, Canwest News Service June 24, 2010 as she gushes

. “Take a bare stage, four performers, a small orchestra in the background and 26 glorious songs celebrating a late 20th-century rebirth of the troubadour tradition —and what do you get?

“Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris is a musically intense and emotionally involving celebration of a legendary Belgian cabaret artist who explored virtually every facet of the human experience through a group of remarkable contemporary art songs”.

I have stopped crying.

Sometimes I laugh.

JCFROG is funny.
