Dear Charles,
Knew there were LOTS in French, where the folk-singing trad. appears to have been more of a group thing. Didn't mention this, at the first, because I was hoping to shake what few English persimmons there might be from that tree first. But my mouth is already watering for sweet French "pears." (Ouch!) Do please post as many as possible. Have learned, to my eternal delight, that I'm not the only fancier of rare fruit here.
Toujours,
Shula
