Flood at UK


Here`s the news...

"Violent storms swept across Britain today" ("Evening Standard")

"The storm is spinning around on the south coast but has thrown rain almost across the whole of England and Wales," MeteoGroup forecaster Brendan Jones said.

"London, Kent, Sussex and Hampshire have seen up to 35mm of rain - the average rainfall for February is between 40 and 60mm."

Terrible....





Alan Stivell

As for me - he`s the premier folk msician at Bretagne.
And at France, possibly...

A lot of charm, or something whch-you-can`t catch. May be it`s the image - only image.
Don`t think so.
It`s so simple..

He sings about the old things, which every fellow knows.
About his country and family.
About your glory - even you don`t know such word.
About love and hate.
And when you hear him - you understand that he makes old songs alive.
A-li-ve.
Here and now.
There`s something magic at his singing - roughly, powefully.
And - such paradox - transfer to the delicate sound of harp

His first recordngd were made at 70s - and now he played again.
A thousands people are visiting his concerts. If he occasionally will appear at the stage without any musician. without any harp - I am absolutely sure that people will be come and listen him.

Thank you, Alan

Parisians and Bretons

I`ve supposed that there isn`t any differernce between Parisians and Bretons.
"There isn`t ane difference" - I thought. "Strictle speaking, Bretagne is the part of the France"

Indeed?

During my staying at Paris happened one accident with me.
Shocked? Probably...
I`ve been fallen down near the FNAC (great supermarketfor music, CD, films), which was placed at the Сhamps Elysees - now I couldn`t say the true of reasons of such behavior.
May be a lot of rain, may be a type of ground`s tile..
And here was a lot of people near me - and nobody helped me at that case..
If only one person...
Nobody..only glasses and stares...

And another case, which was happened to me at the Monparnasse (Breton`s quarter of Paris).
At this time I moved at the streets, looking for my hotel.
One cross, another cross..
And I stayed at one, looking at the houses.
And one person - simple old man asked me - "Pouve je aider a toi?" (Could I help you?)
It was surprise for me at that case.
I don`t ask him for help - it was his briefly initiative))

So - that`s the differnce between indifference and will for help.

Merci good old man
