Excerpts from the Guest Book...    

  • "Hello to you all musicians. Happy trails and courage to all that will get back to work, we are waiting for the next photos. Only great memories, in fact, I can't wait for the next workshop. Really, my head is full and is was so very friendly. See you soon."

    Pierre

  • "I am happy to see that I wasn't the only one that lived an intense week."

    Philippe

  • "Thank you so much for the workshop. It was really very beneficial to me and I very much appreciated the whole package. I have no negative feedback and no suggestions, nothing? it was just perfect. I would like to thank you all for your kindness and your availability. I will probably see you next year and perhaps for 2 separate workshops (April & Summer). See you."

    Alexandre

  • "I arrived finely in Brussels... it is cold and it's raining, what a surprise. I have a bad case of the Le Cart Blues, so bad that I decided to type the list of e mails of each one of you to make those memories last a little longer. So few are that weeks in my life where I felt this kind of musical and human positive vibration. Thank you all. Return to reality is hard. I hope that our path will cross soon and do let me know if you come to Brussels or Paris. Sweet kisses."

    Julia

  • "I spend a wonderful week in your midst and I hope to see you again soon."

    Luc

  • "It has been 5 mn since I am searching for the right words to describe what I experienced but nothing comes out other than the feeling of pleasure, to have shared times, some words and some notes, with each one of you and to have the satisfaction to have made a leap forward in my quest to play music. Thank you Alain, Corrine, Laurent, Pierre and Richard, but the road is still a long one before my Sax will know nirvana."

    Bruno

  • "Sending you all a big sunny hello from Sete. Thank you to Julia and Christian for their photo site (pics and video) allowing us to relive magical moments."

    Eric

  • "Thank you all. You are doing good thing to the planet."

    Pascale

  • "Hello to you all. I do not know how to convey my joy, happiness that I spent with all of you and all those unforgettable moments filled with music, friendship, sharing and silliness. I do not know how to express the tears I cried when I left this beautiful, wonderful place where we all stayed. Vive La France!"

    Philippe

  • "Again a very god thank you for this week. We got spanked hard but with a huge pleasure, (it's new to me). We rehearsed tuesday evening and we applied what we learned with you. I am trying to put all my electronically memorized moments on the web site. I know that for you all the improvisation are part of your daily life as it it your work but I tell myself that artists are a little different, maybe you get to mix it all?. In any events a huge hello from Switzerland. I hope to see you all soon in Sommieres for a new workshop. Best wishes to you all."
