Apols if this has been mentioned - did a search and couldn't find anything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Yacoub |

His music is wonderful to listen to and the traditional Breton folk music with its use of traditional instruments is uplifting. I have added his name to our "In Memoriam" thread and send my condolences to all those who know and love him. |
