911 : A QUARTER OF A CENTENNIAL

25 years ago, during week 37 of year 2001, on the 11th of the month of September, the NYC Twin Towers, symbols of Freedom, Liberty and much more. were physically downed by terrorists.
Week 37 of year 2026, the Paris Eiffel Tower, symbol of Liberty. Laicity, Equality, Fraternity of the Republic of France, was virtually downed by the over-exagerated request of a gang of religious extremists visiting France!
Although this Website and personal Blog is dedicated to my passions (writing lyrics, listening music, line dance and stepheets), I think it's important to wary about all the threats to our freedom!
Let me finish this post with the song "Two Love Have I", i.e. Manhattan and Paris, covered by a crooner I love, Dean Martin... and don't forget its original version by Josephine Baker's "J'ai deux amours".

In memoriam:

 Martin & Jacqueline ZANI, my godparents who met at a St John's Day dance party³ on June 24th, 1945 in Orleans, FR 45000. My godpa was 23, and a tank-destroyer ex-pilot re-assigned to logistic supports further to a bad wound. His was a Dean Martin's lookalike. His family came both from the region of Bergamo in Northern Italy. Godma was 21 years old girl from Orleans, FR.

Dance parties are organized every year on St John's Day (June 24th) in all villages and cities of France bearing the name of Saint John the Baptist.

Although the French tradition of St John's Day public dance parties is rooted in Christianity, these parties are not religious celebrations. The only religious celebrations this day is the Saint John the Baptist Mass. However, I add this song in my Gospels & Hymns Playlist.

The Chapel Down Mount Aravis

MOUNTS ARAVIS

I made this video after a short solitary hiking at dusk, in the Mounts Aravis in Savoy (see maps link below). The words I use in the lyrics are really what I felt when I saw the reddish chain of Mounts extending in the horizon... then at night, I and Agnès, my wife returned to the tiny chapel downhills.

LYRICS

If you climb up Mount Aramis
There's a chapel you cannot miss

Up there you may think of Moses
But no possible agnoses

On your way down, the reddish light
Gently leads you to Jesus Christ.

I'VE GOTTA GO

 This song is an adaptation of the French Gospel

"Ne rentrez pas chez vous comme avant"

i.e.: Don't go back home like as you were before.

I wrote the following lyrics for the same music. However, the French lyrics is a sermon calling for conversion but my lyrics in English is a kind of short story about the life of a preacher in the wild west and the flock he's leaving for his New Life dedicated to the Word of God.

My title for the song is:

I'VE GOTTA GO

I'm singing it "a capella" on this short video

I'VE GOTTA GO

Some sources write: "unknown author".

While, the following one, attributes it to:

"Authors: J. LesBordes & P. Duchet-Chastel"

🎼🎵🎶CLICK FOR THE MUSIC SHEET

ne-rentrez-pas-chez-vous-comme-avant.pdf

 

And some others attributes the composition to: Hubert Bourel et Marie-Louise Valentin

MY LYRICS FOR THE ENGLISH ADAPTATION

Chorus

I've gotta go and say you good bye
I've gotta go under new blue sky
I've gotta land on new beaches
And proclaim all my preaches

Verse 1

What's the use of words if you don't hear me?
What's the use of teach if you don't listen me?
What's worth happiness when you share it not?
What's worth life if lovin' your bro' there's not?

Chorus

I've gotta go and say you good bye
I've gotta go under new blue sky
I've gotta land on new beaches
And proclaim all my preaches

Verse 2

Now let me go and pray with my God
Now let me go and sing for you God
Now let me go and follow my Lord
Every day of life I could afford

Chorus

I've gotta go and say you good bye
I've gotta go under new blue sky
I've gotta land on new beaches
And proclaim all my preaches

STILL WITH US: 49th ANNIVERSARY OF ELVIS' DEATH

 One day after Assomption Day 1977, i.e. on the 16th of the month of August Elvis Presley was declared dead at 3:30 pm Central Time Zone, at the Baptist Memorial Hospital of Memphis, TN.

I tried to imagin what would he had sung if he were still with us... and I wrote the following lyrics in his tribute... I also wrote carefully a prompt for Gemini specifying the tempo, the bpm, the instruments I wanted.

For the music:

LYRICS: STILL WITH US 

(AUTHOR: JEAN LW LeQUEUX, aka DJ Jack Hittheroad)

What if Elvis were still with us
Abov' all on the abacus

Of the greatest hits of the years
Still filling completely our ears

Would he sing N dance trap music?
His voice would remain magnetic

Lifted to Heaven forever
It was in Memphis, mid-summer

ROCK ME IN HEAVEN

"Rock me in Heaven" is both a love song and a gospel. It's also a dance.
As a love song, the lyrics cover all love feelings any human has from his birth to his death. As a gospel, it conveys my Christian creed that "God is good!"

 YESTERYEAR LOVE

I wrote the lyrics of this song which is a poem, having in my mind the kind of musical background I would like to use while reciting it... After that I wrote the main description of the music: blues, what tempo, how many bpm, etc. Then, I realized I could have a real virtual quintet in requesting ~ in my prompt ~ the instruments I wanted for my song. Finally, I "recruited" 5 "guAIs" — pronounce "guys or gals" — which are now the official members of my "QuAIntet — pronounce"quintet" 😉

Well, but what dances were practiced in this newly born country? The answer is:

1] Mostly Longways...

Like those three below:

LA BAGATELLE LONGWAYS

PLUCKEMIN LONGWAYS

AURETTI'S DUTCH SKIPPER

Stepsheets were not necessary, because there was always a caller who told the step. Longways are dance in different manner: in line, in square, in couples, etc. These dances crossed the Atlantic with the settlers. Their origins were various: England, Scotland, France, Holland, etc

2] And also Gay Gordons
