noel regney singers - songs that help you learn french

This one isn't too obscure, but as far as I can tell it hasn't been posted anywhere, and it's fun. Dig the crazy mournful harmonica (?) wail on "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" and other beautifully strange bits of orchestration and backing vocals. I wish I had grown up listening to this... even if it left me wondering to this day exactly what happened to the little sailboat. Does anybody know?

Indeed, after finally getting around to a search-and-translate, I can only say that it's true: "What happens then is quite a story". It gets grim, but there's redemption in the end. Upon hearing this chilling tale I swore never to Set Out On A Journey without provisioning for at least twice as much wine as any worst case scenario would seem to require. 'Nuff said.

I tried downloading the file, and it arrived intact for me, so my guess is maybe yours was corrupted in transit. If you download again and it's still broken, or if anybody else has problems, post here and I'll try another upload when I get a chance... been busy lately, but I'll be doing more posting soon...

Hi, none of the links work. I guess the file has been taken down through the passage of time.

Could you upload the file again?

Merci beaucoup.
