08h30 – Another nice cool night, temp 16°C, overnight low 16°C, yesterday’s high 23°C. Sunny and bright, some cloud, a really nice morning.
Veroica
The Brazillian music by Veroica at the Chateau de Ratilly last night was very good. She is a talented guitarist and the noises and sounds she can make vocally is impressive; brass and percussion all from her lips. Mimicking bird song and whistling, so very, very delicately – fantastic. Her intro was a song about her own history in a MPB (Musique Popular Brazillienne) style.
Christian's Hands (the link plays music)
We met up with Christian and Claire Sauvage at the event and we spent some time in one of the music rooms with Christian* post concert. There’s a photo of Christian and P as Duo Rivages on his ‘animations page’ . (* – this link has music that starts by itself).
A Challenge – ‘Put Christian in front of a piano then try and stop him playing’.
18h00 – Been painting walls this afternoon, got back just in time to find 200 sheep ready to attack the vegetable patch. Helped the farmer get them back to the field. P’s off singing tonight in Joigny, let’s hope it doesn’t rain as its outside. Thunderstorms are forecast.
