About Post Apocalypse
"I never think of the future, it will come soon enough."Albert Einstein

And then, after 5125 years, the Maya calendar reaching the end of its cycle, was announcing the end of the world for the 21st of December 2012...Thanks God, it did not happen.

New Year's eve 2013. I relish a refreshing lime blossom and mint tea post festivities, with in the background, the sound of the Elvis Christmas album I constantly listen to at the end of each year, a moment of musical emotion... That musical emotion, my faithful travelling companion over the years that are passing so quickly. Although scientists are predicting to our old planet nearly five billions years of existence, we are only passengers in an universe going on for ages.

The next World Harmonica Festival will take place in the mythical Trossingen city guardian of harmonica culture for nearly 200 years. There would be much to say about this little Bavarian town so inviting, so alluring in its Autumn colors.

A year 2013 which looks fertile in harmonica events, starting with "The Harmonicas de France" convention which will take place in the city of Vantoux, close to Metz (57000), under the leadership of its dynamic new President Daniel Marty and of Jean Louis Emmenecker.
Without forgetting the International Festival of Saint Aignant, the Tokyo AJHF convention and the US SPAH Convention in Saint Louis (Missouri); and many other harmonica events all around the world mentioned in our calendar section.
A year starting with the wind in its sails !

Happy New Year 2013 to all of you and your loved one...
Happy New Year to the readers of 131 countries loyal to www.jeanlabre.com.
