French Artist, Do Fournier was born in the ancient
town of Guerande, Brittany, France. She began her career as a successful
illustrator, and in 1984 changed her focus to the creation of her own
paintings. Her works were so well received, that numerous prestigious
exhibitions were mounted in her native France, and she has frequently been
invited to exhibit at the Salon d’Automne, Paris.
Probably the best contemporary performance of
"Wildwood Flower" I've heard in many, many years.(The 1928 Carter Family recording is the version with 19 year old Maybelle's incredible guitar work). Nonetheless, this version is beautifully
done, following the A. P. Carter arrangement precisely. Lovely voice and I particularly like the
guitar and autoharp instrumentals.
The Flame is the final
work from Leonard Cohen, the revered poet and musician whose fans span
generations and whose work is celebrated throughout the world. Featuring poems,
excerpts from his private notebooks, lyrics, and hand-drawn self-portraits, The
Flame offers an unprecedentedly intimate look inside the life and mind of a
singular artist.
This solo is a crown jewel on an absolutely majestic
song. "In Penny Lane, there is a fireman with an hourglass, and in his
pocket is a portrait of the Queen. He likes to keep his fire engine clean, it's
a clean machine." Pure beauty.
