Continental Style 3: Piaf and Greco
Piaf I love, Greco I never really took to, in spite of the close connection with Miles Davis. She did look good, however. I think, in hip modernist circles, they have their admirers.

Re: Continental Style 3: Piaf and Greco
Oh yes, I remember when I was about 17 years old sitting in the back of my parents car with a good friend and we had given my father a tape to play, and it was Edit Piaf, and I'm sure my father would have listened to the same songs when he was young, but he kept on talking about Piaf, some trivial things, and we looked at each other and both of us must have thought why doesn't he shut up and listen to the music....
Yes, that feeling of embarrassment about your parents, not sure if it's limited to the teen years, but that must have been the peak of it... nobody expected parents to be hip, but at the time i was sure that no one around was listening to music with the same intensity and passion, the old folks weren't really touched by anything, I thought, and I must have taken it for granted that everybody was growing up listening to Lightnin' Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Baden Powell, Otis Redding, Kinks or Leonard Cohen...

As always Hank, no one has faster fingers than you. You can post as many pics of Juliette as you want old chum. Maybe throw in a few of Jean Seberg while you're at it...
