40th Church Anniversary Congratulatory Letter

dixit Bruno Pelletier. Living

Tie classic gentleman style with a silver tie, placed silky, black coat and striped. A vampiress the unforgettable voice waiting in the room, minutes before climbing on the stage. It is the special guest of Bruno. The trio called the Jazz is GrosZorchestre we knows where. The silence interspersed with conversations between friends pass quietly among the tables. Where is Bruno Pelletier?



Thirty minutes before the show, Bruno Pelletier pianosse feverishly on acoustic guitar. The most beautiful male voice of Quebec artvocal is thoroughly heated. Sound tests completed. Bruno Pelletier is preparing mentally. He smiled kindly saw me climb to the second floor, steering box artists. It is "the Zen guy." Bruno was still recall an interview with the weekly Le Point Three Lakes. The tour manager Richard informs me that the next Bruno Pelletier CD will be released in late August. I receive an invitation to the launch préautomnal "somewhere in Montreal City. Professionally

good about yourself, Bruno Pelletier down his guitar and announces to the audience that the real show will begin in the second half. He sings the songs as loved by his fans. He plays the guitar troubadours palyboys and circulates in hand. Said "there are beautiful voices" in the room. He adds that people in the room "can sing tonight." He repeats the song that tells ls difficulties "since you're gone." Heartbreak freshly healed. The song "Manicouagan" hard a few tears. He asked if all lovers in the room. How many months and years? Five years? Several hands. Ten years, twenty years, thirty years? There are still some hands that would travel over clouds with a companion or traveling companion, who wish to cross the gate leading to the Crystal Palace of old lovers. There are two lovers in the room who have celebrated their 50th anniversary as lovers. Bruno said he would offer them "a journey in the South. The South St. Lazare you, he asks? People smile, applaud the heart in turmoil. And Bruno again, for them, the inescapable song popularized by Yves Montand. "I would tant que tu te souviennes...".




Ne me quittez pas. Nous revenons dans quelques minutes, explique Buno Pelletier.

Julie Lamontagne au piano. Contrebasse: Dan Watts. À la batterie? Richard Irwin, le "Johnny Cash" qui avait chanté langoureusement en première partie pendant que Bruno Pelletier faisait se trémousser les sonorités de guitare.

Et Bruno Pelletier qui a souvenance et qui chante en disant:
"Comme mon père
Je me suis construit
Je suis coriace
Et je ne suis plus de votre monde.

La gorge est serrée. Les cordes vocales disent à son père Papa Dad! "Wherever you are," I will sing for you forever.

And Julie, and Richard and Danny and Bruno, a trio four instruments. Piano, drums, bass and acoustic guitar. What a pleasure to play all jazz tunes. The large intestines vibrate rhythmically listeners heard what Bruno Pelletier called "the real show."

Thanks Bruno. Do not forget the invitation to Mr. Gilles.
