Sheila E. played the only drum solo I ever liked. And Prince was simply genius.<br />So, Duchesse this is for you as you mentioned several artists you love:https://youtu.be/6SFNW5F8K9YBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152552416077663835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-61445677591525628992016-04-29T12:28:11.851-04:002016-04-29T12:28:11.851-04:00Great post, Duchesse.

I like to think that The look Prince sent your way in some tiny way acknowledged something beyond appreciation for your restraint at recognition. I suspect he discerned, if fleetingly, some kindredness in elements of your sensibilities.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-55372095289107702572016-04-28T22:40:13.718-04:002016-04-28T22:40:13.718-04:00Thank you for sharing your story.

My friend was kicked out of the house in rural Québec at 16 because his dad suspected he was a maudite tapette. Now the lives back in the Townships, quite happily, as does Clémence Desrochers, who sang a memorable song, "Les deux vieilles", about the lifelong love of two women.<br /><br />Oh dear, I own several bérets, but none quite raspberry.
