Petit garçon

For this year, our Christmas carol is Petit garçon of Graeme Allwrigth.
It is about a young boy who is waiting for Santa Claus on the Christmas eve. It is originally an American song from Roger Miller called Old toy trains (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I2KeRtvJ-A).
Graeme Allwright is a singer and a songwriter who has made his career in French but he actually comes from New-Zealand.
During the Seventies, he was known as a protest singer and he introduced folk music in France, especially Leonard Cohen. He has even tried to promote a new version of the Marseillaise because he finds the lyrics too warlike and hostile (http://mga.asso.fr/).
