How does one define Romance in the era of "me, too"?  Bill and Rich, The Splendid Bohemians, wrestle with this question as they examine the work of the man who was dubbed "France's Frank Sinatra."Charles Aznavour (22 May 1924 – 1 October 2018), one of Armenia's favorite sons, was a cultural force as a singer, writer-composer, actor, and artistic diplomat around the world. His catalogue is voluminous.  For much of the 20th century, Aznavour promulgated what the ideal of romance should be.  Jean Cocteau once said:  "Before Aznavour despair was unpopular".  His voice describes the longing of desire, and the pain of regret. Can these emotions ever be considered out of date?
