I need to lighten it up a little bit

I love these two. Really.




That has to be one of the best versions of one of my favorite songs I've ever seen and heard. Edith would be proud.

They do more than French standards though.




And if that weren't enough, they can rock and or roll with the best of them.







Check out Grandma getting in on this one. Fantastic!

Wow these two are talented. They are Pomplamoose and consist of Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte. Check them out and show them some love.

  3. I love this! Do you listen to Blossom Dearie? She's one of my very favorites. If you like these two, she might strike your fancy as well.

  7. Loved them! The guy is really cute & had a cool grandma who has serious moves. I like the way Nataly spells her name. Plus, September is one of my favorite songs!

  8. I think they're both adorable. La Vie en Rose was the first of their videos I saw and I could have sworn they were French based on that video. Finding the rest of the oeuvre on YouTube was a real score.

  10. Franki as in Franki Durbin? I'm glad you enjoyed these videos. Follow them on YouTube, they have a bunch of their work there. Their Christmas song is outstanding.

  11. You know.. while this is a style that's completely not my regular genre of music whatsoever.. I have to say that while listening to that first piece I had tears in my eyes because it was so damn beautiful :)

  12. Isn't it though? Who knew that a toy piano and child's xylophone could enhance already beautiful music?

  15. Only 1 CD is on iTunes. I guess I'll have to track down the rest somewhere else.

  17. A very talented duo!!!!!

    Is Jack not French? (Conté) Having a French heritage myself, I could have sworn I detected 'a French connection' in his performance(S).

  18. He could well be Brenda, but they seem to be San Francisco born and bred.
