- About Me:
- Born in Lac- Megantic, Quebec and raised in Brownville Jct., ME, I discovered my Franco-American upbringing while at Univ. of ME at Orono. Worked for a F.A. paper on campus called "Le Farog Forum" at the time (now just LeForum) and began singing French songs as a student. Somehow, I turned it into a full-time career (28 years later) and found my niche performing mostly in French throughout the Northeast. Now living in PA but still driving up to New England to perform and visit friends. So exciting to see "la releve" among Francos like Daniel, Benoit, etc. Continue l'espoir!

The English side of my family was Bury, Que which is not to far away. They were newcomers to the area, arriving during the American Revolution.

Just wanted you to know how much my wife and I
enjoy your Christmas Album, "Reve de Noel". We play
it constantly during the Christmas season. It is my
favorite Christmas album in any language and for the past
three years now we have considered it to be very much a
part of our Christmas tradition. Your voice and your career is an
inspiration to Franco-Americans everywhere.
A longtime fan,

This summer I rode my motorcycle on a long trip from New Bedford, Ma. crossing over through the Catskills and up to Canada. My favorite drive was along Rt 108 and into Lac Megantic. It is a beautiful country. I am a professional entertainer and I can sing just a few French songs. If you perform near me let me know by e-mail.
Au revoir

Comment ca va?
Sorry I will miss you at Autumnfest but am leaving Wednesday, the 8th for Sudbury, Ontario for the Richelieu convention. Hope the weather is GREAT!
