A MUSICAL INTERLUDE


Hope to be able to post again soon, very shortly.
Meanwhile, a brief musical selection, interlude, below prompted in response to an unusual, recent, personal encounter, anecdotal incident, with a species I thought had gone extinct, a caricature of himself, a bourgeois French Fascist apologist, "white man's burden" stereotype, a corporate whore.
The experience was, to ME, surreal, much MORE SO than ANY theatrical performance below.
I TRIED finding MORE of Elly Stone singing beyond the one selection to which I link below.
I believe Elly Stone performs MAGNIFICENTLY, SUPERBLY, in a 1975 English rendition of "Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris."
I came up with only one other piece with sound barely audible on MY computer.
(I looked for a video of Elly Stone singing "My Childhood..." from a Brel performance, but, could NOT find it.)
PERHAPS, IF YOU search around, you might find more yourselves:

Below a video link for "My Childhood" sung my Elly Stone.
But, NOT a visual video from the preceding STAGED performance, alas.
Could NOT find that.
Just sound track and lyrics:

For those completely unfamiliar with ANY names above, a little background SNIPPET:
