I have had a few not-so-great nights at the open mic of the Ptit Bonheur la Chance on the rue Laplace in Paris, but the number of times I have had great and memorable nights far outweighs the latter. And last night was another great and memorable night. And I have had so many such nights there that I have run out of superlatives to describe the bonheur at the Bonheur.
So I am going to keep this writing to an absolute minimum in order to leave room for the videos. Needless to say, it was a typical night at the open mic at the Ptit Bonheur la Chance bar: Talk in the bar on the ground floor, followed and mixed with music in the cave in the silence of the silent listeners and cool musicians, followed by more talk and then a jam session on the ground floor after the open mic. What better recipe? A bit of everything.
Oh, and then a group of us headed off to an after hours bar around the corner once the hour hit 2 AM and our bonheur had ended.
And I brought along my Gibson J-200, so there was plenty of fun listening to the others play it, and me doing it myself.
Just check out the bonheur vidoes, and the videos of the bonheur….
No Words Left for Bonheur
