Topic: Et ou ni mais

That's how I was taught coordinating conjunctions (Les conjonctions de coordination) at school:
"Et, ou, ni, mais, or, car, donc" ( "And, or, nor, but, yet, for, so").
I'm dropping Or, Car and Donc. (maybe for another time).
Yes, I know, there's also the mnemonic formula, which worries about where a certain Ornicar has gone :
"Mais où est donc Ornicar ?" (Mais, ou, et, donc, or, ni, car)
That I learned much later, and I didn't need that Ornicar to know the difference between Or and Hors...
Well, all that just to explain my cryptic title... (even though it has nothing to do with music... ) (and therefore it doesn't explain anything) (but anyway there's nothing to explain)... so here it is:

I think you have a very nice sense of humor although I remember you once said something like  ”..It’s not easy for a Frenchman to be funny in English”.

Well, anyway, I was smiling when reading about your cryptic title. It is so wonderful Gaston-like. Never stop uploading your amazing music and nice
humorous comments. BTW, I had to learn those conjunctions too, and if we didn’t remember them, we had to write them down 20 times (strict teacher).
And, almost forgot - the music piece: It is perfect to describe those conjuntions. Can say: That’s how it’s done     Thank you,Gérard.
Waiting for next piece with Or, Car and Donc
