Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Walking on the rooftop of a five storey building in a warm summer night, happily drunk and wearing nothing but shorts, greeting the police car getting by and GETTING AWAY WITH IT.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I'm looking for someone who can teach me how to whistle, to scat and to play the harmonica.

In the course of an evening, I could teach you about five German words and three guitar chords - so you will probably be able to write a pop song after meeting me!
