Self Help Radio 042021: Paris

 
(Me in front of the Eiffel Tower, January 2007)

Self Help Radio visited Paris earlier today but at some point in the morning my computer died, so I am posting this on a tiny MacBook that's no fun to use so I'll keep it brief.  Lots of songs about Paris! Lovely people who know Paris talked to me! I butchered the French language with what seemed like malice aforethought! All in all, I think it went pretty well.

Find the show at Self Help Radio's web site as well as on the KBOO website.  If you listen to it on the Self Help Radio website, you'll need a username & a password, which are SHR & selfhelp.  Why is that?  I explained it long ago.  In any event, it's three hours of Paris, & some nice interviews, & if you love the city, or have wanted to visit, or you love French music, I think you'll find lots to like.

As the French say, enjoy!  They say it if they speak English, I mean.
