On the 10th, we shared random French Pop songs including one by Céline Dion who just announced her return to the scene this fall! Click on my mustache below to listen.
At times we do not have a theme, we'll play a potpourri of songs, lots of good French Pop music from our shelves and drawers, including new recordings just received. Contact us below to let us know what you want to hear.
