"Friday, July 27th, 2001Nice, FRANCE
Nice...what a relief to land in France. and Nice is a feast for a camera, even my cheapest and weirdest of cameras. Today we did an early soundcheck and swam and relaxed. Tonight we play late....at 10:00pm out in an ancient Roman Amphitheatre. The weather is gorgeous. Let's live for today and forget that tomorrow it will take us three flights to get to Vigo, Spain. (Of course we could fly more directly couldn't we?) We go on tonight after Dee Dee Bridgewater whom i just met in the lobby. That cannot be an easy task since she is a huge jazz star in France and has a cast of thousands of percussionists with her. Well, my little trio was hired to do its job, and we will bravely take the stage at 10:00pm." (Blog de Patricia Barber)
