Very nice, Gary.
Listening to "Docteur Jazz" (sic) right now, also with the guitar,
albeit not included among the links provided.  The vocal is also nice;
although my French is practically non-existent, I have the feeling
that the translation is not quite literal.  Lovely music, though!
Thanks a lot!
Cheers
