Artist picture
Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Lyrics
L'affaire dans un cafe de Paris Words & Music © Ron Tintner (ASCAP) Ten years ago I was living in Paris Having lunch at a sidewalk cafe Then out of nowhere a woman approaches She asks to sit down, I reply “s'il vous plait” She picks up the menu and orders Quiche Lorraine and a modest Chablis I look at this woman and wonder Who on earth she might be? CHORUS: She had aubergine lips and violet eyes An expression suggesting embarrassed surprise An irresistible mystery But why was she sitting with me? She toys with her food, takes a few bites Shifts a bit in her seat Turning to me, she touches my hand Then our eyes finally meet She opens her mouth, bites her lip Takes a sip of her wine I hold my tongue awaiting my moment Anxiously biding my time --CHORUS -- BRIDGE: She catches her breath Finally speaks Whispers softly “pardon” She gathers her dress as she Gets on her feet And like that she is gone Now I no longer reside there in France But often think back to that day And the mademoiselle still haunting my thoughts My affair at a Paris cafe --CHORUS -- Might she still be thinking of me?
