I love how Franck Pourcel loves high octaves

As I listen to Franck Pourcel's butiful music I say your father was a man of such talent it is hard to believe he is no longer with us.  Thank you for sharing.  I sit in the sunshine on top of a mountain in Colorado where the snow is falling and the sun is abundant.  Loved your father.

I love this. Thank you 😍💕💕💕💕💕
