At my bidding, Tony managed to get me a spot playing during one of the trio's breaks. Rene was cordial about it, introducing me to the crowd, and after I played a couple of tunes the bass player Xavier Dambrun and drummer Christian Laruella came up and asked to play a blues with me.

I think we brought the place up a notch, and at the next break we played a good solid swing tune together before the night ended. Naturally, we forgot to bring cameras, but Tony did have his cell phone and managed to eke out a few hazy photos.
It was the best birthday celebration I've ever had and a night I shall always remember. Thanks to these great French musicians and to Penelope, Tony and Lin for making it possible!
