It's just music, and the playlist features a lot of old songs I remember well from the radio in Paris back then, often off albums I would never have bought (I was too poor!). And it's French songs only.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-56903121151038083832012-09-22T23:25:45.908+02:002012-09-22T23:25:45.908+02:00Ken,
