UPDATE! Old Guitar Monkey is doing well, and is resting up in hospital. His surgery went well and we hope to have him back home playing again soon.

"Plaisir d'amour" (literally "The pleasure of love") is a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (1741--1816); it took its text from a poem by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755--1794), which appears in his novel Célestine.
Hector Berlioz arranged it for orchestra (H134) in 1859. Louis van Waefelghem arranged the tune for viola d'amore or viola and piano in the 1880s. It has been arranged and performed in various pop music settings.
Many artists have sung this lovely song.
The melody in "Can't Help Falling in Love" performed by Elvis Presley is based on "Plaisir d'amour"
This instrumental was requested by Chris (cjm52).
My instrumental is based on the Nana Mouskouri version. I hope you like it. Dave
