Earful intro:
This tune, "Canal Saint Martin" by singer/movie star of the 50s Maria Remusat caught my ear. Ultra simple song, gorgeous melody. But her version is slow, and the spirit around the canal can be lively. So I imagined a couple of guitar players in a café or on a sidewalk turning it into a real toe-tapper.
