Paris, FranceDebout devant son instrument qui semble prêt à s écrouler à chaque note, le musicien éméché a grogné, renversé un verre de vin, qui s'est brisé sur le sol et dit;
"Tu appelles ça de l’accordage ?" tandis que l’archet glissait pour la troisième fois il enchaîne "J’ai entendu mieux d’un contrebassiste qui a trop bu au bistrot !"
Soudain, les applaudissements fusent et public rit fortement, conscient que sa consommation d'alcool, son mépris de soi et son humour ironique étaient aussi célèbres que ses solos.
Un peu plus tard j'ai ri dans ma barbe en sirotant mon vin.
Oh, quel spectacle !
(Standing in front of his instrument, which looked like it was about to fall apart with every note, the half-drunk musician grumbled, knocked over a glass of wine, and said:
“You call that tuning?” as the bow slipped for the third time. He followed up with, “I’ve heard better from a drunk double bassist in a dive bar!”
Suddenly, the crowd erupted in applause and laughter, well aware that his boozing, self-deprecation, and sarcastic humor were as legendary as his solos.
A bit later, I chuckled to myself while sipping my wine.
Man, what a show!)
Have a great weekend!
