Once upon a time... I spent quite a bit of time in the beautiful city of Strasbourg in France. I took my guitar with me on one 3 month visit, and I was alone in the city for 3 weeks and dying to play. In my wanderings, I found an odd little jazz/blues club in the so called "bad" part of the city. I went in with my guitar. Nobody spoke English, and I didn't speak French. It was jazz jam night. The leader of the band was a transvestite, and the club was filled with people of many backgrounds. The only thing we all had in common was music. I got up on stage with this band i'd never met, and we kicked ass. It's one of my favorite musical experiences ever.
