TRANSLATION
Richard: Hello. The Jazz Fest show began well...but the rain and storm seriously provoked many interruptions.... Nevertheless, I appreciated this group's music, and I then bought two discs on iTunes (Brighter Days is pretty and Orange Blossoms is superb!) When will they tour in Europe (Germany or France)?
Ashley: Hello and welcome, Richard! I am trying to speak French with you a little, but it has been a long time since I have practiced the language. Everyone here understands the sentiments you have expressed. Mofro is so good! I don't know if anyone else on this site can speak French, but let's wait and maybe someone will expose himself. Can you understand me?

Hey Firefly, where are your travels taking you now? Are things slowing down in the festival circuit? Yeah, I have a B.A. in French from quaint little Eckerd College on the waterfront in St. Petersburg, FL. I've barely used my skills in 9 yrs though, so it's quite rusty.
I just remembered that I was in Montreal for a day or two during the Jazz Festival in 2002. There were bad forest fires, and the whole city was covered in smoke. You could barely see the sun. It was eerie. But it definitely was a neat town.
Richard, Je me souviens que j'ai ete a Montreal en 2002 pendant le Festival de Jazz. Il y a beaucoup de feus de foret, donc le ciel a ete touffu (?) avec fumee. Le soliel a ete cache de la vue. Tu t'es souvenu ca? Mais Montreal est une belle ville. Je voudrais retourner la quelquefois.

I wish I knew how to speak French, it is such beautiful language. Looks like JJ and the boys are spreading the MOFRO love around the world!!
Je souhaite que j'ai su parler du français, c'est telle belle langue. Les regards comme JJ et les garçons étalent l'amour de MOFRO autour du monde ! !
:o)

Sunshine, if you don't know French, how did you do what you did above in French?
Richard, welcome! How wonderful to have someone on the board from Montreal. We're thrilled to have you here and hope you'll come back and post often. It sounds like you had some unfortunate weather at the festival but glad you got to see and hear our favorite band!
Thank you antsyashley for providing the translations! (Ash...a B.A. in French? Who gets a B.A. in French??)

I think it's close to:
You ladies crack me up too, especially because it makes Clay insane.
Maybe......but I haven't spoken french since my college days, so I could be REALLY wrong

Trophy Wife speaks French too? Clay, I don't know who gets a B.A. in French! I thought it would go well with my degree in International Business!
This thread is pretty funny.
