On long distance telephone to her brother Jack's wife, across the ocean in France, Caydance played the music box song. "Do you recognize this song?"

Giselle began to sing:
Maman, les p'tits bateaux qui vont sur l'eau.

"If you grew up in France or in your life, there were childhood memories of France, you would not have to ask. Sometimes when Jack is away, which is all too often, I remember this song:

Allant droit devant eux,
Ils font le tour du monde
Mais comme la terre est ronde,
Ils reviennent chez eux.

"It is about boats that sail away but always return home."

"That song is played in a music box that unexpectedly contained a medieval French book of hours," Caydance explained.

"Go to a music store. Look for a recording of Erik Satie's Descriptions automatiques. Play the first song, which is titled Sur un vaisseau (On a Ship). You will hear this song emerge."
