[Trombone-l] Black Trombone (Gainsburg)

French leader Charles DeGaule?

Hmmm.  He had to be aware of how speeches were coming across.  Maybe more
difficult in large places with natural reverb getting in the mix.

That is what DeGaule used to complain about.

Seems to me he is singing in modern, non-formal French.  The words "Black 
Trombone" are hybrid.  "Trombone" is the word for trombone and also for 
"paper-clip". Black would normally be "Noir", and "Black Trombone" would be 
"Trombone noir". . .

But then it seems to me modern conversational French can involve borrowed
words.  
Mostly borrowed from Modern English as in American English.  Maybe a bit for

food it may use Japanese, or Chinese.  We speak about "Dim Sum" here when
going 
out to eat.

My impression is that French is hard to sing in.  It is designed to be very 
fluid (it has connector sounds called "liason" which hook together and
smooth 
out the speech), but it is not helped in diction by many hard consonants and

consonant combos like English and especially German.  The consonants make it

easier to deliver the diction.

Of course, well spoken French is beautiful to listen to.

A good recording picks up everything, too.

I liked the tune and the video.
