The piano man...


No one plays like the piano man! Especially on a piano that you can wheel around without issues. Bigger than a toy piano, smaller than an upright. Truly a unique and fun sound.

Fete de la musique

This past weekend was some summer festival or event - loosely translated to mid-summer's night festival - Fete de la musique. On the longest day of the year, they allow street performers to do their thing without the need for a license. So, there is a lot of music and things to see. We walked all over the place and came back with our feet pounding from standing so long.

All in all it couldn't have been be better weather.

The food was good: Berthillon ice cream, a crepe with jambon and elemental (ham and cheese), and L'As du Falafel sandwiches.

We actually saw some good performances in-between all the not so good ones. ;-) Folk, Country and Western, Rock, Classical (winds and strings), Reggae, Brazilian, French (with accordian), Brass band, Indian? (local native French and from local native Peru), and Chinese. Also, some skaters, dancers (formal and non-formal).
