i love this!!!!! and i love French. i spent my elementary school years in up-state new york, and we learned a bit of french growing up. we used to travel to Montreal and i was always enamored by it.

this mix is excellent. (did you know that was jason on guitar and me on harmonium, doing a live jam with alex in our living room?)

thank you for creating such a vibrant song. she’s a beauty.

I also love this!!!!!!!! Your voice is so well suited for this style of music — honest, pure, down to earth. Tres, tres, bien monsieur Admiral!

love the acadie feel! daniel lanois would be proud!

I really agree with SackJo - your voice fits this music.

Great track!

Great remix, really liked your mandolin licks.

Like snowflake mentioned, this started as a live jam recording in her living room with spinning merkaba.

And it was primarily spinning merkaba who thought to hit record :) He’s also been suggesting we get together to do this sort of jam more often.

Glad to see that you were able to create such a vibrant song from it.

I feared such a recording would be of limited use to mixers but you certainly proved me wrong.

I don’t know much french so extra special thanks for the translation.

And I agree with others that your voice is very well suited to acoustic music.

Very cool. This is excellent soundtrack for a nice Sunday Drive in the countryside.

This is so wonderfully spirited. It sparkles!!! Transports the listener to wonderful contented place

First secret mixter I hear this time, cest incroyable!!

Hmmm….don’t know where to start, really. Maybe by saying I love this song. I resonate completely with your faiblesse for folky instruments. This is real flesh and blood music. Sentimental, sincere and timeless and it has a very appealing energy. Very very good!

I love the folksy washboard and mandolin!

I too have a great fondness for acoustic music (from behind my mask of electronica). That’s why I always want to hear what you come up with. Nobody does it better and this is a perfect example. By the way I never noticed before how much a harmonium could be a violin.

Tremendous- the washboard takes me back a long way maybe I’ll spent the rest of the afternoon making a bass out of a tea chest and a broom stick.

Beautiful

In my mind, I’m seeing a golden syrupy sunset, its rays filtering through long, tall trees. I don’t know French. To my ears, the whole song has a certain melancholy but is tinged with hope.
[edit: just read your description… guess I’m right with the melancholy and hope part. Goes to show that you can sure work magic with your music :) ]

Absolutly delicious.

Admiral Bob brings the French Bijou to the mixter. I love this music. This feel of music has always interested me especially since watching “Oh brother were art thou”! Which was a breaking film for Dan Tyminski which I know is not Bijou but Bluegrass yet for me it still envokes the same vibe. Banjos, violins, accordians real instruments that you had to play well in order to sound good. Great work!

Peace! ;)~

Fabulous, Admiral. Soothing…

Just brilliant—floored by this—-Just all sounds so right.

Just echoing what everyone else has already said. Great mix that sounds so natural and authentic it’s hard to believe it’s not a vintage recording.

This song just oozes folksiness from its pores.

C’est Bon!
really very fine stuff.
The living life of ancient song and human tradition carried in continuity into our electronic age!

I’m loving that folk acoustic groove. I’m impressed with you vocals as well.
Another Gem from my favorite Admiral.
I salute you on another fine mix.

I want a whole album of this Admiral Bob!

This has been said, like, 22 times already: great job. You took an inspired jam session and translated it into an inspired album track.

Late to the party as per usual, but I just had to mention…I think this is my favorite of yours so far!!! This is wonderful. I am a big fan of this type of music, we had a similar style down in Louisiana…well they still have it I’m sure but I’m not there anymore. Reminds me a bit of the Balfa Brothers but this is better. :)

Great one, Admiral. I love your voice and am happy that at some point you chose to use and upload it more often.

I like this a lot. More please :-)

I spent quite a bit of time in New Orleans and this takes me back to those wonderful times there. Not only is your voice suited for this type of music, this track is radio ready and could be playing on most of the stations in the Louisiana bayou. Wonderful song, simply wonderful.
