Childish Thoughts



by Nancy Snipper

Can’t we be children all of our lives?

      To dance in the sun
                                      and ride on the sea.

 Look how I laugh with joy in my eyes!


  I’m an adult now.
  I know responsibility.
  How serious I am.
  I seldom laugh,
  But oh, how I cry.

Livingstone-Tellier is a guitar duo consisting of Dan Livingstone (ragtime, North Mississippi blues) and Stéphane Tellier (swing, gypsy jazz) that takes the audience deep into the heart of the roots of swing. Both played fast and furious often sounding like Dueling Banjos for guitars, exhilarating and entertaining.

Livingstone-Tellier est un duo de guitares composé de Dan Livingstone (ragtime, blues du Mississippi du Nord) et Stéphane Tellier (swing, jazz manouche) qui amène le spectateur au cœur des racines de swing. Tous les deux jouait rapidement et furieux souvent sonnant comme Dueling Banjos pour guitares, exaltante et divertissant.

Stéphane Tellier

 Leon Redbone was born 1949 in Cyprus as Dickran Gobalian (according to the many rumours). He is a singer and guitarist specializing in interpretations of early 20th century music (jazz, blues and Tin Pan Alley). Wearing his trademark Panama hat, dark sunglasses and bow tie, Redbone encouraged the audience to sing along with his gravelly raspy voice.  Warm and witty with a sense of mysteriousness, he injected the show with plenty of humor often pretending to forget the melody or the lyrics or bantering with the two wonderful musicians (Paul Asaro on piano and ? on guitar) who accompanied him.  The show bordered on parody and reminded me a little of Spike Jones especially in his rendition of ‘The Sheik of Araby’.

 Leon Redbone est né 1949 à Chypre comme Dickran Gobalian (d'après les nombreuses rumeurs). Il est un chanteur et guitariste spécialisé dans les interprétations de la musique du début du XXe siècle (jazz, blues et Tin Pan Alley). Portant sa marque d’un Chapeau Panama, des lunettes de soleil foncées et un nœud papillon, Redbone encouragé le public à chanter avec sa voix râpeux et graveleux.  Chaleureux et plein d'esprit avec un sentiment de mystère, il a injecte le spectacle avec beaucoup d'humour souvent faire semblant d'avoir oublié la mélodie ou paroles ou goguenard avec les deux musiciens merveilleux (Paul Asaro au piano et ? à la guitare) qui l'accompagnait.  Le spectacle bordée sur parodie et m'a rappelé un peu de Spike Jones notamment dans son interprétation de "Le Sheik d’Arabie".
