Hey, Rob,
I can't help you re the French tune, but if you want to add something 
really neat to your vocal, see if you can find a jazz violin to play around 
you as Ray Nance did with Ozzie Bailey.

The recording I'm thinking of was made October 1, 1957.

You can hear it on the CDs  This is Jazz 36 Duke Ellington Plays Standards 
(Columbia Legacy CK65056) and Duke Ellington and His Great Vocalists 
(Columbia Legacy CK66732).

I'm not sure it's "jazz;: if it is, it is very "sweet" jazz.  Nevertheless 
I really like this version of the song.

Recently, with great temerity, I have taken a page out of the book of
Jimmy Armstrong (CanUs) and have been doing some vocals in French.
&quot;Piece de Resistance&quot; is, of course, the original of Autumn
Leaves (&quot;Les Feuilles Mortes&quot;) and I am itching to do &quot;Si
Tu Vois Ma Mere&quot; as soon as I can convince the gang at the Jet-Lag
(the latest hotbed of OKOM in Scottsdale, AZ!!!!) to play it in F rather
than B flat. 
The audience responds well to this effort. A little change of ambience
never hurts, I suppose. And heck, if that Northern Irishman can do it, I
can do it too! 
A close friend of mine, a native of Montreal, would love to have me do
&quot;J'Attendrai&quot;, a catchy tune which, when played in a medium
swing tempo would fit in well with an OKOM band, IMHO. I know the melody
and French lyrics for the first 8 bars. Is there anyone on the List who
has a lead sheet and the complete French lyrics for this tune? Or,
alternatively, could you guide me to a web page where I might find this
information. 
Please contact me off- or on-list, as you deem appropriate.
