The full video segment has 8 Jean-Henri Sadot poems presented as poems or songs on the audio track from the July 28, 2003 Dream Streets Radio Show hosted by Steven Leech on WVUD 91.3 FM, "The Voice of the University of Delaware", in Newark, DE.

The Moods of the Sea was written by Jean-Henri Sadot in 1966. Based on his memoirs it is likely that he was remembering the short stay in Trinidad when his Free French ship was crossing the Atlantic Ocean from Africa in 1942 for re-tooling at the Brooklyn Navy yard in New York City. It must have seemed so strange to have seen France fall to the Nazi blitzkrieg and occupation and then to be in such a tranquil place knowing that duty would call him and his shipmates back to the war. 

The 8 poem video made from the July 28, 2003 Dream Streets Radio Show has: (1) Iron Hill; (2) Early Roses of 1940; (3) White Clay Creek; (4) The Statue of Liberty; (5) Summertime Sunset; (6) Blizzard; (7) A Little Girl’s Bedtime; and (8) The Moods of the Sea.

Screenshot from Dream Streets Radio Show Presents the Poems of Jean-Henri Sadot vidto. There is actually a Jean Sadot poem about The Scuttling of the Free French Fleet, but in this 2003 audio there was only a discussion about the events of 1940 and the formation of the French Resistance and the Free French Army and Navy under General Charles DeGaulle

SYNOPSIS: Introduction & discussion of Jean-Henri Sadot’s childhood in Normandy, just across from England; his involvement starting at age 20 in WWII as a French soldier, Resistance camp participant in the Pyrennes Mountains on the Spanish border, and his escape from Nazi occupied France on a battleship running out of Toulon harbor that went to North Africa and then to Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York City for retooling for warfare in the invasion of Provence in 1944. He participated in the retaking of Toulon, the same harbor he escaped from just before Admiral deLaborde ordered the scuttling of the French Fleet to keep it from being used by the Nazis and the Vichy collaboration government. Jean Sadot’s poems carry themes and perspectives on history and nature often grounded in local places or very personal experiences. He worked on the Chrysler assembly line and attended classes at the University of Delaware while raising 5 children with his wife Eleanor Lafferty, who grew up on a farm in Landenberg, PA and graduated from Kennett Square High School before serving in New York City as a US Navy “Wave” office worker during WWII. They met in a Broadway Cafe and wrote letters until reuniting after the war.

There is a discussion of strained French-American relations in 2003 due to the new invasion and occupation of Iraq by the US and UK under G W Bush and Tony Blair. The French and Germans were very much against this war. G W Bush and Dick Cheney and the NeoCons had lied to make war and profited from it with their fellow “Masters of War”. In 2003 the US and UK were not supported in the military and cultural destruction of Iraq. Most of the NATO nations, and notably France and Germany, were against the invasion of Iraq as they were doing business there, as were many American businesses. Public remarks in the media by President G. W. Bush aggravated the disagreement and tensions as Bush comments compared the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day Landing in Normandy, France to his 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq as comparable to the 1944 “liberation” of France and other European countries under Nazi occupation. Vic had just returned from playing at the Fête de Musique in Carentan, Normandy, France, his father Jean-Henri Sadot's home town. Vic has a little story to tell about cousin Gilbert Sadot getting a call in the evening from the Carentan mayor inviting him, and his visiting American and other French cousins to meet with the mayor and the town's cultural minister for champagne at the Hotel de Ville. They brought up the subject of "Freedom fries" and strained US-French relations over the G. W. Bush - Cheney regime US-UK invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Two poems have been extracted from the video to be shorter stand alone videos:
White Clay Creek & Summertime Sunset.

White Clay Creek - A Poem by Jean Henri Sadot

White Clay Creek – A Poem by Jean-Henri Sadot. Musical Adaptation by Vic
Sadot. Extract from a longer video of 8 Jean-Henri Sadot poems
presented as poems or songs on the July 28, 2003 Dream Streets Radio
Show hosted by Steven Leech. https://youtu.be/qu7k-PhGlDw

This White Clay Creek music video is a 7 minute segment extracted from a 26 minute
37 second video that was created from a 2003 Dream Streets Radio Show audio track in
2018 by Vic Sadot. Steven Leech is the host.

White Clay Creek was written by Jean-Henri Sadot in 1967 when the natural watershed valley was threatened by plans to dam and flood it. Opposition came from all sectors of society and was effectively organized over many years of natural environmental preservation campaigns. Like his father, Vic was active with the Coalition for Natural Stream Valleys and the UAW Conservation Committee.

It was Professor Joaquim Tourbier of the University Water Resources Center. who suggested the poem should be adapted to music. When Vic said he’d look into it and did not think it could be done, Joaquim said, “So do it!” And so it was done. Vic Sadot adapted the
to song in 1980 to perform it at a benefit in the Newark (DE) Fire Hall for the Coalition for Natural Stream Valleys annual banquet.

Vic sang this song and other “Songs of the Seasons” in 2006 for the 30th annual dinner banquet of the Coalition for Natural Steam Valleys at Delcastle Inn in Wilmington, DE. The area is now a state park and is on the “Wild & Scenic Rivers” list. The State Park provides nature and music programs for all ages to enjoy. A hike along White Clay Creek will put you back in touch with nature's incredible wonders in this "charming cherished place".

This particular Dream Streets Radio Show was aired on July 28, 2003 in Newark, DE on WVUD, the Voice of the University of Delaware. The 8 poem video has Iron Hill, Early
Roses of 1940, White Clay Creek, The Statue of Liberty; Summertime Sunset; Blizzard;
Little Girl’s Bedtime; and The Moods of the Sea. Vic Sadot, son of the poet, is reading
Jean-Henri Sadot poems, or sharing renderings of them into song as he relates the history behind the poems of Jean-Henri Sadot. Steven Leech is the long-time Host of Dream Streets Radio Show on WVUD 91.3 FM in Newark, DE, the “Voice of the University of Delaware”. “Even Steven” was one of the founders of a poetry publication that gave
a platform for hundreds of writers to be heard and the Dream Streets editorial teams managed to produce regular releases of Dream Streets for decades. See

YouTube Channel https://youtu.be/QlajqCA56qw

Cette vidéo est un hommage à l'équipe nationale française pour sa victoire à Moscou le 15 juillet 2018 au championnat du monde de football. La chanson a été initialement enregistrée et libérée par le Crazy Planet Band en 1988 sous le titre "The Comeback Kids" sur un LP intitulé "Ride the Wind". Les musiciens sont Vic Sadot au chant et guitare électrique rythmique,Rob Sadot à la guitare électrique, Tris Hovenac à la basse, Ed Gorski aux claviers, et Bob Turtle à la batterie. Il a ensuite été traduit par Vic Sadot et Michelle Rousseau du Québec comme «Nos Champions». C'est une chanson sportive qui célèbre le
travail d'équipe et la ténacité. Cette vidéo a des exemples d'utilisation équitable qui proviennent principalement de "France vs Croatie 4-2 Highligts and Goals 2018 HD" de Pep
Guardiola. Nous espérons que vous l'apprécierez et que vous le partagerez avec vos amis et fans de "Les Bleus".

English: This video is a tribute to the French national team for their victory in Moscow on July 15, 2018 in the World  Cup soccer championship. The song was originally recorded
and released by the Crazy Planet Band in 1988 as "The Comeback
Kids" on an LP titled "Ride the Wind". The musicians
are Vic Sadot on vocals and electric rhythym guitar, Rob Sadot on
electric lead guitar, Tris Hovenac on bass, Ed Gorski on keyboards,
and BoxTurtle Bob Chirnside on the drums. It was later translated by
Vic Sadot and Michelle Rousseau of Quebec as "Nos Champions".
It's a sports song that celebrates teamwork and tenacity. This video
has fair use samples that mostly come from Pep Guardiola's "France
vs Croatia 4-2 Highligts and Goals 2018 HD". We hope you enjoy
it and share it with your friends and fans of "Les Bleus".
