Hi Nima,

is that a present-delivery or a really bad hiding place?

You know squirrels.

Cheers

Daryl,
it is too hard to retain a language without steady use.
I am very sympathetic.
Cheers

I now realize i was responding to an old thread.

[Tom Fones]

Johnnypee,

i don’t want to get on my soapbox,

but don’t let these devices make any decisions for you.

They will take over.

I am looking forward to the livestream.

[Tom Fones]

No Johnnpee ,

The mouse doesn’t mean much.

But your sure dated yourself with a reference to 2001 Space Odyssey.

I was 14 in 1968.

HAL – a machine that seems aware – has come to life in the 21st century.

Cheers to David H. & Johnnypee.

I forgot to mention Eros accent is so thick i had to convince my that it is Spanish.

[Tom Fones]

Thanks Juergen,

let’s try this video. Do you remember Tina Turner ?

I never heard of the other Italian artists.

If Eros didn’t have something on American Latina stations – i probably

would never have heard of him.

When i first heard that song i though it was Juan Luis Guerra but his voice had gotten a little deeper.

I need time to listen to the other songs.

I forgot to mention that Dido is a nice discovery. Thanks

Hi Juergen,

I thought it might be Schwitze-duetsch.

But i can’t distinguish it from haute-deutsch.

Can you understand Beatrice Egli? Wir Lieben laut.

I am aware of Eros Ramazzoti. I have a couple of CDs.

I first heard Eros over here on a Latina radio station.

“Hoy como siempre – estoy pensando en ti.”

I think he covers many of his italian songs in spanish as well.

One slow saturday afternoon i translated “E per te” into spanish.

“Es por ti… esto beso en el viento

….

Esta pasando Noviembre – e tu, tienes viente (anos) por siempre.

I am sorry but that video won’t load over here.

“The uploader has not made this video available in your country”

Here is a video of him with Helene Fischer.

That lady does like to collaborate.

It’s wonderful to hear “The Sparrow” again.

Vraiment une belle chanson

[Tom Fones]

I hear Italian as well.

Do i hear Romansch in here?

[Tom Fones]

On 2nd inspection,

did i hear some french in there?

“Toute ensemble … “

[Tom Fones]

And Italian!

Now i know Migros is swiss!

[Tom Fones]

<div>Thanks Juergen,</div><div>

it seems that the Swiss have a sense of humor. Who Knew.

I remember Migros in Lausanne as a BIG department with a basement.

I guess Migros Weihnachten is like Walmart Christmas.

</div><div>

Here is another one of their Christmas videos.

I think this is very beautiful. I wish i could decypher the german.

Great find Juergen,

Sarah McLachlan has taken over ‘River’ these days. I thought she wrote it.

But i always thought it sounded just like Joni. Silly me.

Cheers
