Haven't thought about that in eons....Mitsouko! Haven't thought about that in eons. My maternal grandmother loved it, along with Evening in Paris, which of course isn't really French at all.<br /><br />I do believe that competing taste in contemporary music was one of the few things about which my paternal grandparents <i>didn't</i> argue (mostly fondly - they did last 68 years) . They liked Sousa, Lehar, and anything sung by Madame Schuman-Heink.Muscatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657061324487851341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-51042354463273270292013-05-29T21:26:14.994-04:002013-05-29T21:26:14.994-04:00The only argument I ever heard my paternal grandpa...The only argument I ever heard my paternal grandparents have was whether one could have good taste without liking Stravinsky. My grandmother never cared for the maestro so said yes, but my beloved and easy-going Grandpapa surprised me by not being so sure.<br /><br />Wasn't there a passage in DV about Diaghilev spraying down the curtains of wherever he stayed with <i>Mitsouko</i>? I like to imagine the smell of Guerlain and outrage at the Paris Opera House that night, though it would've likely been <i>L'Heure Bleue</i> or <i>Après L'Ondée</i> since <i>Jicky</i> had temporarily fallen out of favor and Mr. D's favorite hadn't yet been released.
