We have an Alexa or Amazon in every room and on the porch so this resonates with me.

Scary!!! Alexa and Siri are not allowed in our house. They are barred, banned. ;D, Do you recall a poet here named Jonathan French? He would post these 'Alexa play's. I thought we all could benefit from this song these days <3

Hello Maureen, At last, mention of the lost Alexa in your Carpe Diem - 'Speaking French'. Fine tribute to Jonathan, here one day, gone the next. Some are probably only too glad. Wonderful works and good humored Jekyll & Hyde. For my part I will always call them both friend. -Richard

Enjoyed! The title draws me. I took 3 years of French in high school. And yes so true loves in need of love today. Par excellence! Oui! Oui!

Don’t know him. Will have to look up. I took one quarter of Spanish in college but then saturated my self in French to prepare for a trip to Paris. I did a thorough job and it helped a little :) My nerdy husband had a translator on his phone which the French loved...oui! Mais oui...technology!

Sweetness! It is a fabulous song, and in need today we are. Do you know Jonathan French? A favourite poet of mine here, he has disappeared :( I was in French immersion throughout grade school, I've lost most of it, but have an understanding of how it works, so can tell a really bad translation ;), Bisous! xomo

If your going to get an ear worm, this is a good song to invade your Auditory Canal.

I hope he shows up again. This song for everyone. I hope the sun is shining on your part of the world. Unless it's night of course ;), that'd be wrong. xomo!

Great! Here's - thinking of you ... Shalom, shalom (We used to ask, Who will police the police, or preside when the presider is besider her - self?).

Music is the universal language. I am missing Jonathan French, he would post these "Alexa, play..." things, mostly on on Saturday nights. Cheers my friend! xomo
