The little lady with the stars in her eyes...

 Applause! Applause!

Monsieur Maurice pays tribute to (imo) one of the best female singer songwriters of our time. Child prodigy and outcast. A great woman in a small package. Janis Ian.

Dive into the Archives

As promised there will be an annual Re-Post Extraordinaire to commemorate the 6th anniversary of Chez Monsieur Maurice 2.0 

 

Because of the labour intense way of re-posting I've used in the past, I've conjured up a different plan. From now on it will be possible to access, periodically and temporally, the "Chez Monsieur Maurice Archives". I’ve removed the previous re-posts from the Blog to avoid confusion.

The Chez Monsieur Maurice Archive is hosted on a different site, so you'll be transferred there when you want to get access. 

The Archive is basically a navigatable document where you can find all of the previous posted compilations with their download link. This Archive will be open during some periods of time, and closed during others. 

Hopefully this will make your (and my!) life a bit easier.

WELCOME TO THE

Chez Monsieur Maurice Archives

If you encounter glitches or any other problems, please leave a note in the comments so I can fix the issue.

Enjoy!

MM
