Bloggin' Rollin'

Hello guys !
As you know, the blogosphere is a huge place where you sometimes get lost. So apart from the links list on the right side of the blog, I wanted to insist in some blogs from friends of mine doing great creating or sharing music, or making the musical world better in some way...

Each of them deserves an entry, so here we go...

Histoire de Melody Nelson (Master Piece!)

Some people may think that Maurice Chevalier and Edith Piaf are the last singers France produced :-D .
I'll upload some album those days to resolve this misunderstanding.

If you want to know more about Serge Gainsbourg (and there a lot to discover, musically and about the personnage), you can refer to those pages (non-exhaustive ):

The work of this man is really worth you dig it deeply...
