Tony Coulter here. This past Tuesday, on FMU's Give the Drummer Radio stream, I aired a tribute to the wonderful French slide guitarist and ukulele player Cyril Lefebvre, who passed away recently at the age of 64. To augment that broadcast, which you can listen to here, I thought I'd share with you a charming little film on Lefebvre from 1979, titled Gomina et Whap dou Whap. Non--French speakers may want to know that the live music kicks in around the three-minute mark. The amazing drummer is Guigou Chenevier, of Etron Fou Leloublan (should-be) fame. Please to enjoy.

Incredible footage, Cyril Lefebvre was a very talented player but also had a great sense of humor, we are missing his talent !
