Claude Léveillé, one of the most talented French canadian songwriter died last night at the age of 78.
His most famous song is Frederic, as he recalls the good times of his youth and the friends he had then, arguing politics and everything else around the family table on sundays. Then everyone went away, got married and lost touch. And Papa got older and every one got older. The poetry is wonderful, if you can understand French.
Hope you like it. Maybe I shouldn't say this but I'm in tears writing this.

Here's another one about old mechanical pianos that worked with perforated sheet music.
