hi! thank you joe for your introduction! your project sounds interesting - could you maybe elaborate a little. furthermore, i was wondering, what kind of music...
Hi David, My project concerns defining Chanson essentially. I've asked 50 different Russians what Chanson is, and I've received 50 different answers. I believe...
