The scene was the packed L'Olympia in Paris, France. The song was the number one hit in France and Belgium in the late 1960s. Our band was the "What's New". This is just bits of the song. The final verse goes "so I best be on my way" and the audience called out in english "you must come back". Quite moving for the four of us.

This concert at a senior resort was an hour of which this is a 2 minute sample. While my passion is songwriting, my performances for seniors consist mostly of songs they love, know by heart and can sing along on. I try to provide "the soundtrack of their lives."
