@georgiamann we used sing duermete Nina in our little ‘world music’ group called The Bordurian Working Women’s Chorus.
Also more gorgeous lullabies- there are a lot of Nanitas to different tunes - Spanish lullabies- any of those would be lovely to hear.

Is this the musician #GeorgiaMann referred to as looking “like a 1970s rock star”?
Presumably she meant one who has settled down and employed a broker to manage his investments while he focuses on his artisan coffee bean roasting business?

Cécile Chaminard died on 13 April 1944, closer to two months before #DDay.
Is #GeorgiaMann confusing D-Day (June) with #VEDay (May)?
