MUSIC: - Gymnopedies from Erik Satie
if you would like to enjoy some of my favorite music
in one of my favorite places.
Sitting on a bench in about 70 degF temp Monday Sept. 29th, '03
taking a snap of the calm Bateau Lavoir sky through the trees.
Here is where I put on the headphones to play Erik Satie Gymnopedies 1 & 3 ...
Just to the right
One of the original Wallace drinking fountains
Birds are bathing and drinking water from an old Wallace fountain.
The Bateau Lavoir is one of my favorite spots not only in Montmartre but all of Paris. I hope you get to sit there someday ...(& don't forget the music).
paix.
Completed at the Bateau Lavoir by Pablo Picasso in the fall of 1908
Putting this here for grins.
Joni is one of my favorite artists in the world, and is (in my opinion) an international treasure.
I hope she someday is fully recognized and, unlike van Gogh, gets her deserved props as one of the great artists and musicians of our time in this life, and not posthumously, which is usually the case for the truly great ones.
As another of my musical faves Prince Rogers Nelson said in a recent interview:
"I love all Joni's music ,"
he said, adding that he plays some of her songs live
"just to keep her name out there. Joni's music should be taught in school, if just from a literature standpoint ."
Amen
I recommend (for starters):
HEJIRA, Hissing of Summer Lawns, Shadows & Light, along with any of her many beautiful paintings.
Joni

Tahnk you for your advise. Spicy was really a great place !
Some great stuff on your pages Dave, good pics and I like the many links. Checked out Anthony's site = brilliant photographer.
The service was absolutely wonderful. The food was of great quality with the service & ambience even better. The crème Brule was so completely smooth, light, exquisitely flavoured with hints of vanilla and caramel.” Five stars from me!
Yes, Sacre Cour is not to be missed! Excellent pics --- I did stand in that very alleyway...Norman :)
Your Paris pictures are absolutely gorgeous. I'll be there in December. It will be a dream come true for me! :)
Great pages Dave. I've enjoyed reading through your tips and looking at the pictures. Thanks for sharing. Tom
We go to Paris every two years for a long weekend and we always dine one night at Le Petit Prince. Terrific. Love their photos of their party when the staff all dressed up. Awesome food and ambiance. Formidable
Hi Dave. I have just rated (probably again) your hotels and am sending the page to a friend. We like your restaurant recs too and are going to Le Petit Prince in a couple of weeks. I will get back to you.
Heya Dave. I'm only half through your pages and love them already!..especially the April in Paris music I while reading your Arc tip! Fantastic job matey!! I've saved a few of your tips to use when we eventually get there!! Thanks heaps!! Cheers, Ann :o)
I'm visiting Paris again in a week and I must say your Paris page - especially "where to eat" - feels like it was written for me. Thanks!
