And having watched all three seasons of Treme, this Montana girl knows what you’re talking about! Wish I could join that second line.

That names of saints chant - beautiful - would work up here too.
walk on gilded splinters coco robicheaux
Robichaud is a very common Acadian name - it got the x in Louisiana because illiterates had to add one to confirm their identities after a clerk wrote their names down.

Google Translate is your friend.

“Text exceeds the 3900 character limit.”
Not sure how many paragraphs I get for 3900 characters. Any idea?

I copied and pasted it to Word, which tells me that there are 1372 words, 6803 characters not including spaces and 8163 words including spaces. So just chop it into thirds.

Thanks K2. Does Word tell you WHERE 3900 characters occurs? On a phone this isn’t as easy as it sounds.

Actually, I tried to copy and paste it to Google Translation first and was told that the limit was 5000 characters -- but it did translate the entire article up to that point. Seems to me that phones are a piss poor alternative for using the internet effectively, but I have noticed that even at Anyport, the phone users seem to have become the majority now, apparently willing to accept extremely diminished quality.

Cerboneschi died Jun. 19, 2019 in an accident that occurred at his home in Paris. Kristy Sparow/WireImage One of the most sought-after electronic music artists and producers has died. France's Philippe 'Zdar' Cerboneschi worked with musicians like Kanye West, Daft Punk, the Beastie Boys, Pharrell Williams and the band Phoenix. The Grammy winner accidentally fell through a window of a building in Paris last night; his death was confirmed by his agent, Tom Nettleton. He was 52 years old. Growing up in the French resort town of Aix-Les-Bains, where his parents ran a hotel, Cerboneschi learned how to produce music from the ground up. From an early age, he dreamed of moving to Paris and working in the music business; as he told Red Bull Music Academy in a 2004 interview, he found a job as a "tea boy" at a big studio when he was about 20 — making beverages, emptying ashtrays and the like. From there, he worked his way up, first as a sound engineer and mixer, before moving on to DJ work. In the early 1990s, Cerboneschi became one of the fathers of the French house scene, as half of the duo Motorbass with Étienne de Crécy; they released one album, 1996's Pansoul. But two years later, he joined forces with Boom Bass — born Hubert Blanc-Fracard — and the two formed the influential French Touch duo Cassius, working both as producers and on their own material. Their collaborators included the French rapper MC Solaar, Pharrell Williams, Hot Chip, Cat Power, Daft Punk, the Beastie Boys and Phoenix; in 2010, Zdar earned a Grammy Award for his work producing and engineering Phoenix' album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Cassius' latest album, Dreems, is being released this Friday; Zdar had also been scheduled to perform this Sunday in New York City at the popular SummerStage series in Central Park, as part of an all-French lineup.

There are still no details about how one falls out of a window.

Good long run for someone in that milieu! Great story, and magnificent face!
Perhaps I'll eventually get a smartphone, but it isn't a priority. Need a new-to-me computer first. Computer is above all a work tool for me.

Yes, it refers to a dialogue upthread between K2 and Kimby about machine translation of blocks of text. I could make a separate post, but didn't think it was necessary.

Goodbye, Johnny Clegg, the "white Zulu." Age 66. I saw him in concert in Paris.

Very, very sad about that. I also saw him. Didn't meet him, though friends did. I did meet and translate for Desmond Tutu though.
