In Beaubourg's jungle, family and (new) friends

Welcome. mamí, welcome. And thanks for being here with your little son.

Al ratito arrives big brother,

who'll shoot the picture.

Thanks for walking with me,

along rue de Rivoli,

way down to center-city,

place Beaubourg you and me.

Where all the performers are. I hope there will be some room left for me. For us. Some room, well.

19h30 ... there should be.room enough since the sun is setting and people is leaving ... or not? Mmm mamí, qué pasa aquí? Pues 200 hundreds boys and girls, forming a subtle battle of people in the jungle circle. Why jungle ? Performers jungle well. Many of them. Here and there, up and down, shouting and yelling and passionating people.

Loving people ? Maybe. For sure ... There is lacking some precious white human statue I was enjoying to see, some months ago ... but still many many of them are here.

Where can I set my stage ... near the magician but not than near .... a little bit further ... but if go to far, I will cover the sound of these 2 acoustic cythar players so let's move a bit. A pity, this place was perfect since it was in front of where the people walk ... anyway let's go in this place near the fence. I can see all the esplanade de Beaubourg like this. And I will bother nobody. No fear but mutual respect in this public shared stage.

Let's plug. Tune. And start. Mamí, ven acá, cerca de ton fils. Ahí. Ici.

And let's start with the tuuuu, tuuuu du tuuuuduuu tuuuu du du du du du duuuuuu - (Don't worry). Tu du du du du du duuuuu. (Be happy).

Here we are. One song's over. Let's carry on for the 4 people that are listening. Counting my mamí :) Béeeeesameeeeeee, beaaame muuuuuuuuuchooooo ... oh it seems that the songs in Spanish here are more appreciated than in the metro ... now the double of people are listening. Song's over. Applauses. Smiles. Coins! Voice .... yelling voice .... from below, telling me "Hey, the songs, please can you stop, hey ! Just 20 minutes and you can carry on, thank you!". I turn around. Tightrope walker. 200 people staring at him. 8 ... now .... 6 looking at me. 202 at him. I have to stop.

Or to move. Mamí, help me to move, s'il te plaît. Move the stand ... carry on .... wait for him to end ... carrying on the show ... brother comes. Shoots pictures. One family. 2 girls kissing listening from end to end. And Mexico arriving in the end of the end ....

What happened today :

• Hey my brother has been taking pictures for a couple of weeks and he already shot my best pictures ever!!! Thank you bro! You're talented :)
• My mum as the perfect assistant and the fan number one :)
• What a lovely couple these 2 girls staring and listening for a complete hour.
• Definitely I should tune the songbook according to where I play ... here in a such a touristic place, people who gave money is spanish speaking people, who likes spanish songs! Very different from the metro.
• Given the number of smiles of beautiful girls (and handsome gays)I can get in one hour I think the guitar is definitely the most attractive part of my body :)
• This french family that would stay for 30 minutes.
• Pictures ... why don't guys come and take pictures with me, too?
• What a nice chat I had with the mother and daughter from ... Viva México cabrones!!! Thanks for being so generous and accessible. Maybe we meet in Guadalajara one day !
• Would have been perfect if the white statue had been there performing at my side :) But she was not that day and probably will never see her again ...

PS: the metro girl with the phone number was a total mytho ... she was supposed to send me the contact of a radio to send a demo and she now sends me 5 messages/day to know where I live and with whom ... anyone interested? :p
