Thanks for the info E-L. I've been listening to some of the audio excerpts from Henry's book that you posted a while ago in the links section. It's very interesting stuff. I really like the bit about meeting Stewart for the first time. Unfortunately, the last time I checked, he had not yet done the English translation for this segment. But I love listening to his stories in French. And you're right; he's got a sexy voice regardless of which language he's speaking.

I also discovered a cool little six degrees of seperation fact on his website. Henry and I went to the same university in Aix-en-Provence. Granted, I went there ten years after he had dropped out to move to London and start up this little unknown band with a guy named Stewart Copeland. It turns out I also frequented an Aixois club where Henry used to DJ. By the time I was there, the hot stuff on the turn tables included songs from "Dream of the Blue Turtles", and "Every Breath You Take" was one of the staple slow songs. It's amazing how much can transpire in ten years.

When I get a chance I'll have to order the book(s). (I'll get one in each language I suppose.)
