New York, New York

Well, here's the feel-good Friday song, New York, New York. I have never been to New York, sadly, I am not even the biggest fan of Frank Sinatra, but this one I love. For some reason I have a long history with this song. I sang it at my wedding with the singer we had hired for the day, that was one of the few moments when I ever sang in public, I mean in front of an audience. Well, it wasn't opera, which is what I used to sing, but that was nice anyway. I also used to sing it when I was going out with my group of (mainly) Italian friends. They used to put it at the end of the night in British clubs, for some reasons. Any excuse for me not to dance (singing is my thing, you see, my violon d'Ingres, i.e. a talent that you don't use to earn a living). Anyway, here it is, enjoy:

Une conséquence indésirable du déluge, depuis le concert bénéfice, c'est que maintenant, à chaque fois que j'entends cette toune, je ne peux m'empêcher d'imaginer André-Philippe Gagnon chantant sa version (écourtée) "La Baie, La Baie"...
