Bravo to Mr. Jonathan Dassin: he honoured his dad, Joe, with a lovely version of “L’été indien”!

Following a warm and sunny day yesterday, it is + 17 degrees Celsius in Sackville, NB, feeling like + 13 to be more precise. Because of that, perhaps it is a good timing to listen to Mr. Jonathan Dassin singing for Indian Summer? The latter is a summerlike weather, which occurs in the fall, typically following the first frost.

Regardless of the weather and North American Indian summers, one thing is sure: it is moving to listen to a young man paying tribute to his late dad. Thank you, Mr. Jonathan Dassin, for making Bambi dream of her favourite season of the year while remembering your most talented father.

Of note, the late AND great Joe Dassin died too young (41) of a heart attack, during a vacation to Tahiti, on August 20, 1980. At the time, Bambi (8) and her family were visiting Moscow (along with Kiev and Leningrad). Mr. Joe Dassin’s music started to suddenly play at their hotel, all day long (during all meals), from early in the morning until late at night. Her dad inquired about it and this is how the family learned about the tragic news. Everyone was speechless then, deeply affected by his loss… May his memory be eternal.

To conclude this brief musical post, whether you are currently in the middle of a heat wave or in a cooler season or environment, may you all have a good time, dear readers. Life can be too short. Let’s make the best of of it while it lasts.
