"Boulevard Voltaire, August 17" (Rob Dokter) - a sunday in Paris in 2003 - Day 117

???????? 'Let's do a song each night while we can' ???? ???? Day 117 - Going through old songs i wrote for some time to come... Some time to come indeed.. There's a bunch.. Archiving or something and you all can listen for free ????

This one was written while on tour in France with Panama Red. One of the bases on the tour was an appartement on the Boulevard Voltaire. It's a roadsong between the lines. All of it was true at the time. Panama and me recorded it a few days later in Penmarch in Brittany's far West point of France. That version only appeared on my French promo for 2007. This solo one here is very likely to be a one-off ever ????

Thanks for watching. Be safe ????

The only schedule on this series is that there is none. Just a different song every day, that's all there is to it. Some will suck, some will be quite okay; and all 'verdicts' in between, too. So, it's finished songs and old demos i (co)wrote to various songs i love or just like to pick.. Just wondering how many there will be one day ????????
