Is it alright for you to make a story for Andrew and my OC Mary and about them at a dance and Mary feels a bit shy as Andrew leads her. If you want to know how Mary is like I made a complete profile of her in my Tumblr

A Waltz Under Glass and Stars

Andrew Marston x Mary Colette Fontaine

The grand ballroom of Kensington Hall shimmered with golden light. Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead, casting refracted rainbows across the arched windows. The air buzzed softly with conversation, punctuated by the gentle strains of a waltz. The gathering was one of elegance and sophistication, the kind of event where names carried weight and fashion whispered stories. Andrew Marston, dressed in a tailored navy suit and wearing his characteristic air of composed confidence, stood near the edge of the room. His golden honey brown hair was neatly combed, and his eyes held their usual sharpness, though tonight there was a softer glint.

By his side stood Mary Colette Fontaine. Clad in a flowing cream-colored dress with delicate lace details, she looked every bit the part of a woman meant to be admired. Her blonde waves were pinned back with a butterfly clip, a gift from her friends in New York. She clutched a small, silver clutch with one hand, the other resting nervously on her wrist. Her green eyes darted across the room, observing the mingling crowds, the polished marble floor, and the musicians seated in the far corner.

"You're awfully quiet tonight," Andrew observed, his voice low and soothing as he leaned closer.

Mary's cheeks turned the soft pink of a summer dawn. "It's just... overwhelming," she admitted, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "I’m not used to things like this."

Andrew tilted his head, his gaze thoughtful as he regarded her. "Considering who your parents are, I imagined you'd be more at ease in places like this."

"That’s the problem," she replied, her lips forming a small, nervous smile. "I’ve spent my life being someone I’m not. Tonight, I just feel... out of place."

Andrew’s expression softened. He extended his hand toward her, palm up. "Then let me show you something that feels less like them and more like us."

Mary blinked at his outstretched hand, her green eyes wide with a mixture of surprise and hesitation. "Andrew, I... I don’t really dance," she stammered, her voice barely audible over the music.

"You don’t need to," he replied with a smirk, his voice brimming with quiet confidence. "You just need to follow me."

She hesitated, her fingers tapping against her clutch, a telltale sign of her nerves. Andrew’s patience didn’t waver. His steady, reassuring gaze anchored her, and after a moment, she let out a soft breath and placed her hand in his. His touch was warm, his grip firm but gentle.

"I’ll lead," he promised, guiding her toward the center of the ballroom.

The room seemed to shift as they stepped onto the polished floor, the waltz swelling to meet them. Around them, other couples glided in perfect harmony, their movements elegant and precise. Mary felt a knot tighten in her chest. Her short frame barely reached Andrew’s shoulder, and her natural clumsiness made her acutely aware of every step.

"Andrew," she whispered, her voice a thread of sound. "I’m going to make a fool of myself."

He bent his head closer, his breath brushing her ear as he murmured, "Nonsense. No one here matters but us."

His words settled something inside her, and when he placed his hand lightly on her waist, she didn’t pull away. Instead, she allowed him to guide her other hand to his shoulder. The music swirled around them, and he began to move, his steps measured and deliberate. She followed, her movements hesitant at first, but his confidence was infectious.

"You’re doing wonderfully," he said softly, his tone encouraging.

Mary bit her lip, concentrating on the rhythm of the music and the steadiness of his lead. "I feel like everyone’s watching."

"They are," Andrew replied, his mouth curving into a teasing smile. "But they’re only watching because you look stunning."

She glanced up at him, her expression a mixture of disbelief and bashfulness. "You always know what to say."

"I’ve had practice," he quipped, the corner of his mouth lifting in a way that made her heart skip. "Now, stop overthinking. Trust me."

Mary let out a breath and allowed herself to relax. With each passing moment, the tension in her shoulders eased, and her steps became smoother. Andrew’s movements were fluid, his guidance subtle but assured. He spun her gently, and for the first time, she felt a flicker of enjoyment.

"You’re smiling," he observed, his voice holding a hint of triumph.

"Am I?" she asked, almost laughing. "I hadn’t noticed."

"You should do it more often," he said, his gaze locking with hers. "It suits you."

Her cheeks flushed again, but this time it wasn’t from nerves. The music shifted into a softer melody, and the couples around them slowed. Andrew drew her closer, his hand at her waist steadying her as they swayed. The world beyond the music seemed to blur, leaving only the two of them.

"Do you ever think about how strange this is?" Mary asked suddenly, her voice quiet.

"Strange how?" Andrew replied, tilting his head slightly.

"How we ended up here," she said, her gaze dropping to the space between them. "Me, the girl who wanted to blend into the background. You, the professor who "

" thought he’d spend his life alone," he finished for her, his tone contemplative. "Yes, I think about it."

She looked up at him, her green eyes searching his face. "And what do you think?"

He paused, as if choosing his words carefully. "I think it’s proof that even the most unexpected paths can lead to something worthwhile."

Her lips parted slightly, and for a moment, she forgot the music, the room, and the crowd. All that existed was the sincerity in his gaze and the warmth of his hand in hers.

"Andrew," she began, her voice faltering.

"Hmm?"

"Thank you," she said simply, her words carrying a weight of gratitude that went beyond the dance.

He raised an eyebrow, his smirk returning. "For what? For convincing you to dance? Or for being utterly charming while doing so?"

She laughed softly, shaking her head. "For everything. For being... you."

His expression shifted, the teasing fading into something deeper. "You make it easy, Mary."

The song drew to a close, the final notes lingering in the air like a sigh. Around them, the other couples began to applaud, and Mary realized with a start that they had stopped moving. Andrew, ever composed, released her hand but didn’t step away.

"Shall we step outside for some air?" he suggested, his tone casual but his eyes attentive.

She nodded, grateful for the reprieve. He led her through a side door onto a terrace overlooking the gardens. The cool night air was a welcome contrast to the warmth of the ballroom, and Mary tilted her face toward the sky, where stars winked down like scattered diamonds.

"Much better," she murmured, leaning against the railing.

Andrew joined her, standing close but not crowding her. "You handled yourself well in there," he remarked.

"I think that was mostly you," she admitted, glancing at him with a shy smile.

"Hardly," he replied, his tone light but his expression serious. "You were brilliant."

Mary didn’t know how to respond, so she simply looked back at the stars. After a moment, she felt his hand brush against hers on the railing. She hesitated, then turned her hand over, letting his fingers intertwine with hers.

"You make me brave," she said quietly.

Andrew’s grip tightened slightly, and when she looked at him, she saw an emotion in his eyes that took her breath away.

"That," he said, his voice steady, "is the most beautiful thing you could have said."

under the watchful gaze of the stars, with the echoes of the waltz still lingering in their ears, Mary realized she wasn’t just dancing with Andrew tonight she was falling deeper in love.

The terrace was quiet, save for the distant hum of conversation and music drifting through the open doors behind them. The crisp night air carried the faint scent of blooming roses from the garden below, wrapping Mary and Andrew in an almost dreamlike stillness.

For a long moment, neither of them spoke. Mary tilted her head back again, letting her eyes trace the constellations she had studied as a child. She had often found solace in the night sky, but standing here now, with Andrew beside her, the stars seemed less distant, less untouchable.

“Do you always carry the weight of the world on your shoulders?” Andrew’s voice broke the silence, gentle but probing.

She turned to look at him, his face partially lit by the warm glow spilling from the ballroom. He wasn’t teasing his question and held genuine curiosity, and she felt the weight of his gaze as it lingered on her.

“Sometimes,” she admitted, her voice quieter than she intended. “It’s easier that way. If I carry it, no one else has to.”

Andrew’s lips pressed into a thin line, and he nodded slightly, as though her words resonated with something deep within him. “A noble thought,” he said, his tone laced with an edge of sadness. “But you don’t have to bear it alone. You shouldn’t.”

Mary blinked, caught off guard by his candor. “And who would help me? You?”

The question wasn’t meant to be sharp, but her own doubt colored it. She immediately regretted the way it sounded, especially as Andrew’s expression flickered with a brief flash of hurt.

“Yes,” he said simply. His voice was steady, his answer unwavering.

The sincerity in his response left her momentarily speechless. Andrew wasn’t the type to offer words lightly, and the weight of his promise settled over her like a warm blanket.

“I don’t know if I’m good at... leaning on people,” she confessed, glancing back down at their hands still intertwined on the railing. “I’ve spent so long trying to prove I don’t need to.”

Andrew shifted slightly, his shoulder brushing hers. “Leaning on someone doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you trust them to catch you when you stumble.”

She let his words sink in, and for the first time, the idea didn’t feel so foreign. Slowly, she tightened her grip on his hand, as if testing the strength of his promise.

“Why do you do that?” she asked after a moment, her tone lightening as she glanced sideways at him.

“Do what?” Andrew asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Say the perfect thing,” she replied, a small smile tugging at her lips. “It’s infuriating.”

Andrew chuckled softly, his shoulders relaxing. “It’s not perfection. It’s observation. You wear your heart on your sleeve, Mary, whether you realize it or not.”

She looked away, her cheeks flushing again, but this time, there was no shame in it. He had a way of seeing her that felt both disarming and comforting.

The music shifted again, the faint melody of a string quartet drifting through the air. Mary found herself stepping closer to him, the coolness of the night making his presence all the more grounding.

“I think I like it better out here,” she admitted, her voice just loud enough for him to hear.

“Fewer eyes,” Andrew agreed, his lips curving into a small smile. “But the view is far superior.”

She followed his gaze, expecting to find him admiring the gardens. Instead, his eyes were locked on her, the golden light of the ballroom reflected in their depths. Her breath caught, and she felt the familiar flutter in her chest that had become inseparable from his presence.

“Andrew...” she began, her voice trembling slightly.

He stepped closer, his free hand coming up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. His touch was light, almost hesitant, as though he feared breaking the spell of the moment.

“You don’t have to say anything,” he murmured, his voice low and intimate. “Just let me stay here with you.”

She nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat. “I’d like that.”

They stood there in silence, the night wrapping around them like a cocoon. The stars above seemed brighter, more alive, as though they were bearing witness to something rare and precious. And as the music from the ballroom swelled once more, Mary realized that, for the first time in her life, she wasn’t afraid to lean into the moment, into him.

Because Andrew wasn’t just a professor with sharp wit and an impossibly charming smile. He was her anchor, her partner in a dance she never thought she’d have the courage to join. And for the first time, the weight of the world felt a little lighter.

The stars would remain their silent witnesses as the night unfolded, a waltz under glass and stars becoming the prologue to something much greater.

[Mint Note]: I hope you enjoyed the story! It took me some time to plan it out and make sure it fit Mary’s character, so I really hope it met your expectations and was to your liking

Manifeste des 343

Le manifeste des 343, est une pétition française parue le 5 avril 1971 dans le no 334 du magazine Le Nouvel Observateur. C'est, selon le titre paru en une du magazine, « la liste des 343 Françaises qui ont le courage de signer le manifeste “Je me suis fait avorter” », s'exposant ainsi à l'époque à des poursuites pénales pouvant aller jusqu'à l'emprisonnement, car l'avortement en France était illégal à l'époque.

C'est un appel pour la dépénalisation et la légalisation de l'interruption volontaire de grossesse qui ouvre la voie à l'adoption de la loi Veil.

Le texte

Le manifeste, rédigé par Simone de Beauvoir, commence par ces phrases :

« Un million de femmes se font avorter chaque année en France.

Elles le font dans des conditions dangereuses en raison de la clandestinité à laquelle elles sont condamnées, alors que cette opération, pratiquée sous contrôle médical, est des plus simples. On fait le silence sur ces millions de femmes. Je déclare que je suis l'une d'elles. Je déclare avoir avorté.

Suivent les 343 signatures de célébrités, notamment celles de personnalités telles que Catherine Arditi, Françoise Arnoul, Florence Asie, Brigitte Auber, Stéphane Audran, Colette Audry, Tina Aumont, Hélène de Beauvoir, Simone de Beauvoir, Cathy Bernheim, Valérie Boisgel, Olga Bost, Claudine Chonez, Iris Clert, Marie Dedieu, Lise Deharme, Christine Delphy, Catherine Deneuve, Dominique Desanti, Marguerite Duras, Françoise d'Eaubonne, Françoise Fabian, Brigitte Fontaine, Antoinette Fouque, Luce Garcia-Ville, Claude Génia, Françoise de Gruson, Gisèle Halimi, Katia Kaupp, Bernadette Lafont, Danièle Lebrun, Annie Leclerc, Violette Leduc, Marceline Loridan, Judith Magre, Michèle Manceaux, Geneviève Mnich, Ariane Mnouchkine, Claudine Monteil, Jeanne Moreau, Michèle Moretti, Liane Mozère, Nicole Muchnik, Bulle Ogier, Marie Pillet, Marie-France Pisier, Micheline Presle, Marthe Robert, Christiane Rochefort, Yvette Roudy, Françoise Sagan, Delphine Seyrig, Alexandra Stewart, Gaby Sylvia, Nadine Trintignant, Irène Tunc, Agnès Varda, Catherine Varlin, Ursula Vian-Kübler, Marina Vlady, Anne Wiazemsky, Monique Wittig.

Une note en bas de page indique que « parmi les signataires, des militantes du “Mouvement de Libération des Femmes” réclament l'avortement libre et GRATUIT ».

L'idée a été lancée par Jean Moreau, chef du service documentation du Nouvel Observateur lors d'une discussion animée avec la journaliste Nicole Muchnik un soir de juin 1970 dans la salle de rédaction du quotidien, et Simone Iff, alors vice-présidente du planning familial, s'est fortement mobilisée à titre personnel pour obtenir un maximum de signatures de célébrités.

L'article français est un exemple notable de désobéissance civile en France. Aucune des signataires n'est poursuivie. Il a inspiré en 1973 un manifeste de 331 médecins se déclarant pour la liberté de l'avortement.

****************

Manifesto of the 343

The Manifesto of the 343 (French: manifeste des 343), also known as the Manifesto of the 343 Sluts, was a declaration that was signed by 343 women advocating for reproductive rights and admitting to having had an abortion when abortions were illegal in France, thereby exposing themselves to criminal prosecution. The manifesto appeared in the French magazine Le Nouvel Observateur on April 5, 1971. It was also known in an alternate English translation of the word "salopes" as the "Manifesto of the 343 Bitches".

The text

The text of the manifesto was written by Simone de Beauvoir. It began (as translated into English):

One million women in France have abortions every year. Condemned to secrecy, they do so in dangerous conditions, while under medical supervision, this is one of the simplest procedures. Society is silencing these millions of women. I declare that I am one of them. I declare that I have had an abortion. Just as we demand free access to contraception, we demand the freedom to have an abortion for free.

Impact

The week after the manifesto appeared, the front page of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo carried a drawing attacking male politicians with the question "Qui a engrossé les 343 salopes du manifeste sur l'avortement?". ("Who got the 343 sluts from the abortion manifesto pregnant?") This drawing by Cabu gave the manifesto its nickname.

It was the inspiration for a February 3, 1973, manifesto by 331 doctors declaring their support for abortion rights:

We want freedom of abortion. It is entirely the woman's decision. We reject any entity that forces her to defend herself, perpetuates an atmosphere of guilt, and allows underground abortions to persist ....

It contributed above all to the adoption, in December 1974-January 1975, of the "Veil law", named for Health Minister Simone Veil, that repealed the penalty for voluntarily terminating a pregnancy during the first ten weeks (later extended to twelve weeks).

Trajet de Eskimo

Eskimo n’en finit pas de brouiller les pistes avec délectation. Un chant en anglais, français, japonais ou coréen, une voix impressionniste, des musiques qui ne veulent pas choisir entre pop et jazz, un univers riche et singulier, exigeant mais accessible : tout ce qui constitue le 1er album “Que faire de son cœur ?“ sorti en début d’année 2020. Pour Trajets, nous suivons Marie, l’âme du projet Eskimo, au gré de ses voyages et des concerts auxquels elle assiste, comme autant de jalons géographiques et musicaux.

Eskimo © Indira Dominici

MON ENFANCE sera baignée par la musique de mon Père qui écoutait avant tout Bach, Monteverdi mais également Michel Portal, Eddy Louis, Ferrat, Messiaen, Simon & Garfunkel et Pink Floyd surtout dans la voiture. Et quand il mettait ça pour partir en vacances dans l’auto j’étais déjà loin dans mon esprit.

Ces deux morceaux je les ai écouté tellement de fois avec lui. J’ai le même ressenti à leur sujet : Ils sont énigmatiques et beaux.

1/ EDDY LOUIS - Blue for Kook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t1ganCGlQ4

2/ MICHEL PORTAL - Mozambic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3LMTYNotGY

MON ENFANCE dans ma chambre se résume surtout aux Platters, ils m’ont submergé d’émotion en les écoutant. Et quelque chose s’est produit dans ma tête tel un déclic. Je chantais déjà tout le temps mais il y a eu un avant et un après.

3/ THE PLATTERS - My prayer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE0UMnrQBD0

4/ TINA TURNER AND IKE - Proud Mary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzQnPz6TpGc

Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown qui étaient sur une compile que j’avais trouvé et qui trainait dans la maison. Et j’écoutais tout ça en boucle.

5/ ELLA FITZGERALD - Stormy Weather https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teXOPAFMOp0

Petite, j’allais à la danse. La première année où il y eut un gala, j’avais dansé sur Moments of love de Art of Noise et The Race de Yello qui avaient été mixé ensemble pour notre prestation. Et je me souviens encore du début des pas. J’adorais tellement ces deux morceaux. Des univers qui me plaisaient et que j’entendais peu à la radio ou chez moi.

6/ ARTS OF NOISE - Moments of love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux3u31SAeEM

7/ YELLO - The Race https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4QbJRAWvRU

ADO ce sera Lauryn Hill que je chante en m’enfermant dans la salle de bain tout le temps. L’album Miseducation c’était le truc qui me faisait le plus vibrer à cette époque.

8/ LAURYN HILL - EX Factor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfvMHO6Y8kw

Il y avait eux aussi que j’aimais tant The Roots

9/ THE ROOTS - The panic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLu3Q3ObkjM

Sonic Youth, je préférais ça à tellement d’autres trucs rock. Ça semblait vrai.

10/ SONIC YOUTH - Crème brulée https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKhB0Fldusc

Puis le choc Bjork.

Je sais pas si c’est le fait que ce soit une femme ou bien qu’elle soit d’Islande ou bien de ou bien mais j’ai tout de suite aimé ce qu’elle faisait.

Chez moi c’est assez spontané quelque chose de l’ordre des viscères, du tréfonds et des vibrations. Et là, il y avait reconnaissance.

11/ BJORK - Anchor Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IyoLPvFU5Y

Et puis, il y aura aussi un morceau de Ravel qui marque aussi mon envie de plus de musique classique. Le mystère qui s’installe et qu’on ne cherche pas à approfondir car on veut qu’il reste un trésor.

12/ RAVEL - Introduction et allegro pour harpe, flûte et clarinette et quatuor à cordes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBm1w8J63mg

En musique contemporaine Arvo Pärt : il emmène dans les profondeurs de l’âme.

13/ ARVO PÄRT - Spiegel im spiegel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ6Mzvh3XCc

Et puis, je pars vivre en Angleterre. On est en pleine jungle dans les clubs en 2000 en Angleterre. Mais j’écoute plutôt Massive Attack, Portishead. Je suis comme d’habitude pas dans l’époque et j’adore ce son trip hop, ainsi que Morcheeba.

14/ MASSIVE ATTACK - Better things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-muSqqvFio

15/ PORTISHEAD - Roads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg1jyL3cr60

Portishead c’était cette femme que je trouvais si fragile, si touchante. Elle arrive avec le dos vouté en live et cette voix si folle. Je tombe sous le charme de cette mystérieuse personne. Et c’est ça qui me plaît je me dis : "l’étrange".

Tom Waits, sublime texte et sublime orchestration pour l’album Blood Money.

16/ TOM WAITS - All the world is green https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg7wRhtYXnw

Beck avec l’album Midnite Vulture, il se renouvelle toujours et dans cet album il s’essaie même à rapper dans le morceau Hollywood Freaks

17/ BECK - Debra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpv-CcRX4X4

Nico, une trouvaille dans un disquaire londonien. Et je suis transportée par cette voix et son harmonium indien qui fait un peu "temps anciens".

18/ NICO - Janitor of Lunacy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgG3EaOCh_c

Je suis fascinée par Radiohead et cet album d’une beauté simple et froide qui te mets dans une condition de nostalgie et de bien être en même temps. Grosse influence !

19/ RADIOHEAD - How to disappear completely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W6HhdqA95w

Discographie sublime venant d’un monsieur pourvu d’une grâce dans son écriture.

20/ BRIAN ENO - By this river https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrZYP8SzlN8

Et puis, je rentre sur Paris et je découvre Sigur Ros par le magazine Trax.

21/ SIGUR ROS - Ny Batteri https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sigur+Ros+ny+battery

Gil Scott Heron, grosse révélation avec l’album Winter in America

22/ GIL SCOTT HERON - Rivers of my fathers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmXz9I0zI5w

23/ ALI FARKA TOURÉ - Allah Uya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=339uFnhymM4

et la musique Gnawa et beaucoup de jazz comme Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Katonoma.

24/ JOHN COLTRANE - A love supreme, Pt 4-Psalm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjZc7KIFlNs

J’habitais pas loin de la Fnac Bastille et c’était assez magique pour écouter plein de choses diverses : Daniel Johnston, Syd Barrett, Slowdive, Nick Drake…

Et je tombe sur Cat Power et là tout bascule. Je trouve celle qui va m’inspirer pendant un bon bout de temps à faire de la musique et à créer. Je suis déjà dans une école de musique mais je sais vers où je dois aller.

25/ CAT POWER - Metal heart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx6F1jesJ5o

Bashung, peu de musique française mais lui me fera renouer avec le français. Avant il y avait Gainsbourg, Colette Magny, Brigitte Fontaine. Mais Bashung je comprends son texte, il parle à mon coeur.

26/ BASHUNG - Des bras https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrzF8yBOEEA

Et puis des choses plus expérimentales comme Haino Keiji, Fred Frith, Makoto Kawabata.

27/ HAINO KEIJI - An Untroublesome Defencelessness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZy-g8Dx8PU

Ensuite, je pars vivre à Cophenhague. je vais écouter Pavement, Atlas Sound, Animal Collective, Connan Mockasin, Field Mice, Deerhunter, Felt, Destroyer, Mazzy Star, The Clientele, Stereolab, Ben Watt, Karen Dalton et Nina Simone, Sibylle Baier, Mojave 3 et Five or Six. Et cette période fut celle où j’ai écrit les morceaux de mon Ep "Dancing Shadows". C’était une période sombre et d’introspection. Il y régnait une grande solitude et tristesse.

Ce morceau de Ben Watt et Robert Wyatt est magnifique. C’est simple et beau.

28/ BEN WATT - ROBERT WYATT - Walter and John https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ySNVcJ4v6s

29/ DESTROYER - Painter in your pochet / album Destroyer ’s Rubies, j’ai écouté de si nombreuses fois. Il me soulageait. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdPbBglm7lc

Je retourne sur Paris, Villette Sonique, groupe Nisennenmondai et je n’en reviens pas de la claque monumentale qu’elles m’ont mise.

30/ NISENNENMONDAI - A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNKA7i4i9GA

31/ ATLAS SOUND - Quarantined (à l’Alhambra mémorable) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl-Ed5B8sI0

Dirty Beaches à la maroquinerie avec juste un sax … moment suspendu

32/ DIRTY BEACHES - Casino Lisboa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOZFVFF-ATw

33/ JEAN FRANÇOIS PAUVROS - Mon homme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmpLdJRIRKE

34/ MATANA ROBERTS - Mississippi Moonchild (j’entends parler d’elle pour la première fois en lisant Wire et choc émotionnel) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbNKUAy0Qik

Mon morceau préféré aurait pu être The River Man de Nick Drake mais je choisis Nina Simone qui est l’unique.

35/ NINA SIMONE - Wild is the wind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiVDzTT4CbE
