A traveler's life is made of fragments of everything happening to him,
lived situations, stories gathered here and there, moments of reflection, of meditation under the clouds, those wonderful clouds complicit in the widest dreams...
I had the chance, the great happiness to live this wandering life in a diverse and varied world, rich of all kinds of music, ô so rewarding...
A great adventure with always in my hand my mouth music instrument, inseparable companion, symbol of freedom, my best passport accross this both wonderful and tormented world.
