      I told my daughter Summer, to take the instrumental version to her mother; and to advise her she would be required to dance with me to it at Summer's wedding, someday.

      Knowing that went over well.

        No wonder!

        I had a hard time making heads to tails of the piece.

        Paiktis- that's a wonderful translation!

          thats guillaume de machaut. The music for that is haunting - includes syncopated rhythims, IIRC.

          To bad Guillaume was a vicious antisemite.

              Bad French? It's 700 year old French.
              Do the current Brit's sound like Shakespeare?

              Besides that, bad French is repetitive.

                      Can you imagine Sloww going to his Veteran's reunion party and start reciting 14th Century French poetry?
