In My Life: My Family, Music, Cuisine and Books

My family is my reason to live. Daddy had such a hard and good time with his 4 daughters. We are now 14 in the family: Dad, 4 sisters, 2 husbands and 7 children from 8 to 21. My mother unfortunately passed away in 1991. She never saw her grand-children.

If I had to say there is something most important in my life except my family, it would sure be music. At the end of my contract with Alpha Card and apart from getting all my online profiles updated, the first thing I did was to go to New York, to see John Fogerty, Creedence Clearwater Revival's composer, singer and lead-guitar, in Broadway. A couple of weeks later, I went to Paris Bercy to see Paul Mc Cartney. Both of them, Fogerty with CCR, and Mc Cartney with the Beatles, have been in my ears since I was a child.

Thanks to my friend John in youtube, I can now play about 30 pieces of the Beatles on the piano. Not so well, I must confess, but enough to enjoy. I am also connected with Julian Lennon in facebook, myspace and twitter, as well as with a lot of my favourite musicians such as B.J. Scott. My best friend, who is a music composer and pianist himself, is also there with me. Whereas John tought me the "American way" to play music, my best friend tells me more about chromatics and rythm.
