Loiseau Blanc

It's lovely, as usual--and my favorite, a bossa nova--beautiful, in fact.

That was great Jacques and Nicky. Charlie, thanks for posting this.

Congratulations and thank you, Charlie (and Dennis)

De toute beauté, Jacques.

There is music that sounds very French; I don't know if that's true,
but L' attente is very nice as always. Maybe it's in the playing. Vaut le attente!

Charlie, thank you again for your comments
For "waiting" and "the train".

we do not understand well Edward's comment(?)
(for this 3D video, there are a small viewer for
paralleles views on monitor)

Friendships
Nickie and jacques

Yes, the way 'Le Train' starts out it does sound like 'Steel Guitar Rag,' a tune that is more familiar perhaps over here than over there,
but an apropos melody for a train, the way it rolls along--but then, I don't have my 3-D glasses on.

Friendship
Nickie and jacques

'Rain Still'-- This is the most wonderful video.. watching the rain, while you play from the other room, as if in two different places, but together.
The care you put into it.. so still, meditative, like the others.. very peaceful, personal--
they are tone poems, unmistakably French, sharing moments of your lives together with us.

All your videos put together are like a book of pictures in sound.

I'm so glad you found the Steel Guitar Forum to bring your music to us.. not from far away, but making the world smaller for us,
and also bigger. Je vous remercie.

Hello Jacques and Nickie.

Thank you for joining us. It is a wonderful surprise to see you here!

Dan

Charlie,Dan...
You're very sensitive to our music and we are very touched!
Yes! We be glad this friendship became very close of
our west Brittany...
( Now, we have illusion to see, at horizon, the
Statue of Liberty (?))

Thank you, still and always
Jacques and Nickie

Beautiful.

Bon Jour. I have listened to several tunes on You Tube of Jacques and Nickie. Your music has a lot of the emotions, phrasing and timing of the French street music I remember from my time in France 1962-64. Played around the outside dining areas of Brassiers and café's. I was in a U.S. Army Engineering company stationed at Ingrandes a few kilometers from Chatellerault. Remember afternoons spent in Poitiers, Tours, Nantes dining, wine and music. Thank you very much (Mercee boukoo) brings back a lot of memories.

Nickie plays " souviens toi " on E6 / 8 strings.
Do you want the tablature ?

With our friendships J.G.

Hi Jacques,

It's real nice to hear your recent tunes and it's great that you and Nickie are still playing. I have your two EPs and often wondered about them back in the day (1970s), when it was hard to get any information. It seems from the pictures on one of your videos that you had a band together. How long did that last and how often did you play, and on what kind of bills? Did you play with rock bands, or in supper clubs, etc.?

Joe
