	Story Behind the Song At home, Amsterdam, 11.91 *** I'm rehearsing a short phrase on the piano. ------- Gare du Nord, Paris, France, 11.02.92, about 20h00 *** I'm waiting on a platform for the RER B, one of the Paris 'Regional Express Network' trains, to take me way out into the rural southern suburbs of the city. Meanwhile a group of Antillian singers and percussionists starts preparing their 'platform performance'. ------- At home, Paris, France, 1994 *** One day in the mail I find an enveloppe with a cassette tape, sent by (the French branch of) Reader's Digest, containing "an important message from the President of the Lottery Committee. Please listen carefully." ------- Metro, Paris, France, 14.03.92, around noon *** An old guy, sad looking, plays the violin in a corridor of the Franklin Roosevelt station. ------- Paris, France, 8.03.92, around 15h15 *** At Pigalle a pickpocket - truly an artist! - took my wallet. Shortly after, at the foot of the Sacré Coeur, C. and I listen to 'Les Portuguaises Ensablées'. ------- Vincennes, France, 26.01.00, about 11h00 *** Outside a workman is torturing the pavement of the Avenue de Paris with his sledgehammer. ------- Gavarnie, France, 18.07.92, around 8h00 *** Early morning on the balcony of room number 3 of the Compostelle Hotel. The bells of the little church next door are ringing. ------- Aubervilliers, France, 12.03.92, around 12h00 *** With H. and C. I went to a performance of Zingaro's 'Equestrian Opera', in the Fort d'Aubervilliers. Sounds of animals and Berber women singing. Montage: november 2001 [ProTools DIGI001]
