And below is a link to another Josephine Baker song called “I Have Two Loves.” The scene is Paris, and that is a very Parisienne thing to do, and tres dangeroux.

It’s April in Paris, right now. And it is a fine time to visit that most romantic of cities, but sometimes April there can dip down to the 40’s—sound familiar?
And, despite Yip Harburg’s lyrics for “April in Paris,” chestnuts in blossom don’t happen until May, and nobody is setting “holiday tables under the trees.”
In Luxembourg Gardens, blooms are starting to pop in April, and they have a bandstand there.
However, choose May to visit Paris.
This song, “April in Paris” was written by Yip Harburg and Vernon Duke for a 1932 Broadway show called, Walk a Little Faster.
“I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace
Harburg also wrote the lyrics for “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
Many have recorded “April in Paris,” but this is Kurt Elling’s version from his album The Messenger.

Editor’s note. Food is supreme in Paris. It’s hard to find a bad meal…the bistros around town offer just a few special items each day, but always delicious. And course there are those high end restaurants where celebrity chefs can be found serving up exquisite dishes every day.
And go to an outdoor market, pick some fresh items and have a picnic. The grocer above was not happy when I took his picture, but I got the shot before he turned and scowled. And the music—don’t miss the movie “Chef.” It’s a little long, but great fun and with a terrific soundtrack. The second half is best with the cooking and the music.
My photo on the cover of “A Waiter in Paris” is now being seen in bookshops around the civilized world and on the Net. It was released on August 9, 2022.
The photo is on the dust-cover, and my name appears on the inside flap. One publisher did their cover version in red-white-and blue, but they retained the black and white photo.
