I apologise profoundly -- it was a joke. We Canadians make such jokes. The article does say French, but I made it Quebecois, since I assumed Hart-Rouge has such a tinge. I have not listened to the album. I have no agenda to make the NYTimes look ignorant. If it wasn't for the New York Times we would in North America be living in a howling wilderness of ignorance and stupidity. And I am a Canadian! You cannot find out anything about what is happening international news, most science, anything about art, and much particulary about classical music without reading the NYTimes. It gets a bit tiresome on occasion -- how much longer are they going to let William Safire and Thomas Friedman go on writing the same article week after week? -- but I read it every day.

yours, Peter T.
