Hello Thumper ...
A very interesting concept for a Funk song. But it all works together somehow. I do agree the bass could comer up just a bit to give it a richer sound. Tempo is good for me - kind of allows for the romantic flavor you described. And yes, the accordion was a surprise. I've been to Paris three times (lived in Europe almost 12 years) and you caught the flavor and ambience just right.

I've been to France once but only to Calais from the White Cliffs of Dover on a day trip.
In general, I'm somewhat timid of boosting the bass too much but you're the 2nd person that has mentioned it.
Alan, thanks for the kind words and helpful critique.
