The French magazine Le Figaro recently announced the top 10 earning French singers. Here they are:
1 Francis Cabrel
2. Bénabar
3. Johnny Hallyday
4. Christophe Maé
5. Bernard Lavilliers
6. Thomas Dutronc
7. Mylène Farmer
8. Alain Souchon
9. Renan Luce
10. Christophe Willem
Personally, the only one of these 10 I've heard of is the 65-year-old Johnny Hallyday. Hallyday is, from what I can gather, the French version of Elvis only less dead. I see that the French First Lady didn't make the cut.
Anyway, do you have any favorite French singers or French songs or just songs sung in French (Zydeco anybody)? If so, let me know. I'm going to burn a CD or two of French music to add to the ambience while on board M2 and I'd love to add your favorites to the list.
I'm going to explore the French top 10 and add a few gems from CDs I already have. Should be interesting.
Also, if you have any CD mashups in French, English, Esperanto or any other language that you'd like to bring along to share with the group, feel free. The boat will have a stereo and your contributions to the musical atmosphere will be welcome.

Why no Maurice Chavaliere? He must be the fav French artiste--at least the most sought after in OUR house. There is a story there for those who have never heard it. Jolly Ole....Can we have that on board even though it isn't actually in French?
As I write this, Hank is playing french music from his office. I wish I could remember the French song that my jr. high teach played for us that was popular in the early 1970's and I loved it. I knew all the word then--but alas, those brain cells are dead.
Oops--I was logged in to my adteam google account, so if you wonder who "Ad" is, that's me. Get used to it. I am back advising Ad Team and more often than not I am logged into that account rather than my personal google account. But will be done with that for the year win, lose or draw by the trip.
I'll have some NO music...on CD or do I have to figure out this IPod thing?
Got to have some Zydeco!
I'll help you figure out the iPod thing at MG. Love my pod. Lots less trouble than CDs
