Out of the Belly of the Beast. 9/11 & NYC's evangelical churches
Yours Truly, One Love by Jennifer Contini Enderby, 2010. jennifercontini.com Forty-five years ago, just as the World Trade Center’s two towers were going up, nearby Primitive Christian Church went down in flames. The disaster symbolized the decline of religion in the city. In a series of articles in 1975, New York Times’ Kenneth Briggs wrote that there was a “decline in the major faiths’

Alphabet Book Titles!
For the second year in a row, I've completed a challenge to myself to read one new-to-me book title for every letter of the alphabet. The only reread present is the "X" title, because there simply aren't enough of those for me to read a subpar title for the sake of a challenge.
For the tricky letters: "Y" and "U" both appeared by happy accident; I had "Z" and "Q" titles on my shelf at the beginning of the year and DNF'd both, then spent too long trying to find substitutes; and for some reason "H", "M", and "T" all gave me some difficulty. But I got there in the end.
NOTE: This list contains the first title I finished for each letter. As such, this is not strictly a list of recommendations (though by and large I enjoyed all of these).

Today, Hendricks can look back at a spectacular career, having produced 116 Top 10 singles, 75 of which peaked at No. 1. All toll his number one records have spent 117 weeks (over 2 years) at the top of the chart. He has earned six awards from the Academy of Country Music, two from the Country Music Association as well as an Emmy Award for his production for the theme song of Monday Night Football with Hank Williams Jr. His production credits include the best of the best: Restless Heart, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Faith Hill, John Michael Montgomery, Trace Adkins, Dan + Shay, Jana Kramer, Michael Ray, William Michael Morgan and Blake Shelton among many others. He achieved perhaps the ultimate distinction in this age of reality TV when he joined Shelton four times as a mentor on NBC’s The Voice.
By the time he began his studies at OSU, Hendricks was ready and eager to pursue a career in music. He miraculously found a job working in the Audio Visual Center on campus where he met Tim DuBois. They recorded many of their songwriting demos there, starting on a 2-track recorder and then graduating to a 4-track. Hendricks also started playing guitar in a Top 40 band called Marin. Eventually, once hearing a better guitar player, Greg Jennings, he volunteered to become the front of house mixer. When he found that the school’s undergraduate programs didn’t quite fit with his ambitions, he took the initiative to create and gain approval for a unique degree in architectural acoustics. The school mapped out a curriculum that included classes in engineering, music, radio/film/television and the graduate program in architecture. The end goal was to find a way to get into a professional recording studio one day.
With his Marin bandmate, Greg Jennings (who later became the guitar player in Restless Heart), Hendricks relocated to Nashville just one day after they had earned their degrees, not bothering to wait for the cap-and-gown ceremony. Through his numerous trips to Nashville with Tim DuBois pitching their songs to publishers, Hendricks had a job lined up following graduation working at a company as a recording studio acoustician and salesman of recording equipment. Hendricks then befriended engineer and fellow Oklahoman Ron Treat at the Glaser Brothers’ Studio, where he spent every night after his day job assisting Treat and watching legendary producer Jimmy Bowen work. There, he witnessed some of country music’s greatest recordings.
In 1984, Hendricks and Tim DuBois took a chance on recording an unnamed band to secure a record deal. That band became Restless Heart and was signed to RCA Records. Many hits followed including the iconic song “I’ll Still Be Loving You”. This launched the 30+ year career of producing.

Mel Bochner "Working Drawings and Other Visible Things on Paper Not Necessarily Meant to be Viewed as Art" 1966
Mel Bochner, Christophe Cherix, Laurent Jenny, James Meyer, Carl Andre, Anonymous, A. Babakhanian, Jo Baer, John Cage, M. Carsiodes, Tom Clancy, Dan Flavin, Jim Freed, Milton Glaser, Dan Graham, Eva Hesse, Alfred Jensen, Donald Judd, Michael Kirby, William Kolakoski, Robert Lepper, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, Robert Moskowitz, Tom Russell, Robert Smithson, Kenneth Snelson, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Tippetts-Abbett-McCarthy-Stratton
In 1966, Mel Bochner, then-young instructor at the School of Visual Arts in New York was asked to organize a “Christmas show on drawings,” to run from December 2–23, 1966. Bochner asked artist he liked (such as Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Sol LeWitt, Eva Hesse, Dan Graham, Jo Baer, Robert Moskowitz, Robert Smithson, Al Jensen, to name a few) for drawings that weren’t necessarily “work[s] of art.”1 The gallery, upon seeing the drawings, dismissed them, claiming “we don’t have enough money to frame them.” They had unlimited access to a large Xerox machine to photocopy the drawings, making them able to go about reducing and enlarging them to a uniform size. Presenting photocopies within a gallery setting was not yet common in 1966. To increase the sheet counts, Bochner sought other materials.2 He compiled the sheets into four bound books and mounted each on a white wooden pedestal.
Working Drawings exposed minimal art’s dependency on the readymade, and its “flirtation” with the mechanisms of mass production and consumption.3 Bochner’s installation reconfigures minimal shapes into “furniture,” metaphorically supporting an analysis of its own construction. Alluding to Marcel Duchamp, Bochner placed the books on pedestals, sites of art’s elevation and display, replacing the “cult value” or reproducibility of the Xerox.4Working Drawings was not about the work, but rather it was a conceptual art of process located in the development of ideas.5 Gaps between language and things occur as thought-activity occurrence. In conceptual art, Sol LeWitt explains that ideas or concepts are the most important aspect of the work.6 LeWitt furthers states that when an artist uses a conceptual form of art, all the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is only a perfunctory affair. Working Drawings opposed materialist processes, making selection and process based on material and financial aspirations — it was not planned or decided beforehand.7Working Drawings was an “anti-form” model associated with Robert Morris (1968) who claimed that there was a disconnection between conception and realization; minimal work was hardly “irrational” but “reasonable,” and “well-built.”8 To remedy this problem, Morris argues for directly manipulating a given material by the artist and processes that occurred in time (such as “random piling, loose stacking, hanging”)
Anti-form became associated with artists across the entire spectrum of 1960s process work. Such artists embraced chance and other organic processes for creating minimal sculptures. They worked from the principle that form should derive from the inherent qualities of the chosen material. In such cases, artists had to relinquish control of their artwork’s final appearances. In this framework, exhibition is anti-form, and does not act as a traditional representation of physical works. Mel Bochner’s Working Drawings exhibition still occupied a space within SVA.
Cited as the first Conceptual art exhibition and responsible for spawning decades of lousy Xeroxed artists’ books, Mel Bochner’s ‘Working Drawings and Other Visible Things on Paper Not Necessarily Meant To Be Viewed as Art’ (1966) is the bedrock of mid-century Conceptual art history. Ironically, the project was the result of an innocuous Christmas exhibition at the New York School of Visual Arts that Bochner, as an art history faculty member, was asked to curate. He collected drawings from his friends, conveying to them that the offerings needn’t be ‘art’ per se. Not satisfied with Bochner’s procurement of work, the gallery’s curator refused to spend money framing the submissions, so Bochner photocopied four sets of the 100 drawings, reduced them each down to standard paper size, inserted the sets into a binder and placed each binder on a pedestal.
he Conceptual and historical weight of this piece are located in its attitude more than in its content. Like Bochner’s assessment of Minimalism at that time, the four identical black office-style archives signal a paradigm shift away ‘from the humanistic stammering of Abstract Expressionism, Happenings and Pop art’.

LÉGENDES DU JAZZ
RUBY BRAFF, UN CONSERVATEUR PARMI LES MODERNISTES
“I believe in beauty, and there’s got to be nothing but beauty in music. And if you’re not playing beautiful music that takes people to another plane, to a delicious place that they can’t ordinarily get to in their own lives, then you’re producing nothing. I want delicious sounds
 that’ll take me away on a dream.”
- Ruby Braff
NĂ© le 16 mars 1927 Ă  Boston, au Massachusetts, Reuben "Ruby" Braff avait reçu son premier cornet en cadeau Ă  l’ñge de huit ans. Braff avait initialement demandĂ© un saxophone, mais ses parents ayant rĂ©alisĂ© qu’il Ă©tait de trop petite taille pour manipuler un tel instrument, ils avaient prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© lui acheter un cornet. AprĂšs avoir suivi quelques leçons pour apprendre Ă  placer ses doigts sur l’instrument, Braff avait commencĂ© Ă  jouer en autodidacte en imitant les autres trompettistes Ă  la radio. Comme Braff l’avait expliquĂ© plus tard, il s’agissait de la meilleure façon d’apprendre Ă  jouer de la musique. Il prĂ©cisait: "You'll develop as much technique as is necessary to do what you want to do. I needed enough to play tunes with the radio. That's what I did, every day."
C’est Ă  l’ñge de dix ans que Braff avait entendu Louis Armstrong jouer Ă  la radio pour la premiĂšre fois. Il poursuivait: "It was like a big, fat, beautiful piece of orange coming through the speaker". En dĂ©pit de l’opposition de ses parents, Braff avait commencĂ© Ă  jouer professionnellement dans les clubs des environs de Boston au milieu de l’adolescence.
CaractĂ©risĂ© par un son trĂšs doux et par une approche trĂšs lyrique de l’improvisation, Braff s’était Ă©galement distinguĂ© par son attachement Ă  un style de jazz plutĂŽt traditionnel qui Ă©tait alors considĂ©rĂ© comme dĂ©passĂ© par la plupart des observateurs (Braff avait fait ses dĂ©buts Ă  l’époque de l’avĂšnement du bebop).
DÉBUTS DE CARRIÈRE
En 1949,  Braff avait Ă©tĂ© engagĂ© pour jouer avec l’orchestre de Edmond Hall au Cafe Savoy de Boston.  Il s’était aussi produit aux cĂŽtĂ©s du clarinettiste Pee Wee Russell. Au dĂ©but des annĂ©es 1950, Braff Ă©tait devenu un incontournable de la scĂšne du jazz Ă  Boston. En 1953, Braff s’était installĂ© Ă  New York oĂč il avait Ă©tĂ© trĂšs en demande tant dans les clubs que dans les sessions d’enregistrement, notamment dans le cadre de collaborations avec le tromboniste Vic Dickenson, le clarinettiste Benny Goodman, le saxophoniste Bud Freeman et le trompettiste Buck Clayton.
Braff avait enregistrĂ© son premier album comme leader en 1955. Braff Ă©tant plutĂŽt traditionnaliste comme trompettiste, le fait de s’ĂȘtre associĂ© Ă  des musiciens qui avaient souvent le double de son Ăąge avait contribuĂ© Ă  faire accepter son style plutĂŽt conventionnel. Braff avait Ă©tĂ© trĂšs influencĂ© par des pionniers comme Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke et Bobby Hackett. DĂ©crivant son admiration pour Armstrong, Braff avait commentĂ©: “It doesn’t matter what instrument you play—you’re supposed to be listening to Louis Armstrong. It doesn’t matter whether you write, sing, dance, or anything. If you haven’t listened to Louis Armstrong, there’s nothing, nothing going to come out of your playing that will ever please me. I can tell you that.”
Braff Ă©tait devenu particuliĂšrement populaire aprĂšs avoir publiĂ© l’album Thingamagig avec le pianiste Mel Powell en 1954. Assez paradoxalement, la douceur et le lyrisme de Braff au cornet prĂ©sentait un contraste plutĂŽt saisissant avec sa personnalitĂ© combative et un peu tranchante.
Mais Braff avait trouvĂ© son Ă©gal dans le non moins Ă©nergique Joe Glaser, qui Ă©tait alors un des agents les plus en vue du monde du jazz. Un jour, Glaser avait tĂ©lĂ©phonĂ© Ă  Braff et lui avait demandĂ© s’il dĂ©sirait aller jouer en Angleterre. Lorsque Braff avait suggĂ©rĂ© d’apporter son groupe avec lui, Glaser avait rĂ©pondu sĂšchement: "I don't want your goddamn band, you stupid son-of-a-bitch. I want you in a band with Jack Teagarden and Earl Hines." Loin de se laisser dĂ©sarçonner, Braff avait rĂ©torquĂ© avant de raccrocher:  "Who are you calling a son-of-a-bitch, you ----?" Comme s’il croyait que sa position n’était pas encore assez claire, Braff avait rappelĂ© Glaser et avait ajoutĂ© l’insulte Ă  l’injure en dĂ©clarant: "You don't deserve to know guys like Teagarden and Hines, you ----!" Rancunier, Glaser s’était personnellement assurĂ© que le nombre de contrats de Braff diminue substantiellement.
AprĂšs avoir passĂ© des annĂ©es dans l’obscuritĂ©, Braff Ă©tait revenu sur le devant de la scĂšne dans les annĂ©es 1960 lorsqu’il avait participĂ© Ă  une tournĂ©e avec les Newport All Stars du pianiste et producteur George Wein, qui Ă©tait un de ses plus fervents admirateurs. Braff avait d’ailleurs participĂ© Ă  la premiĂšre Ă©dition du Festival de jazz de Newport en 1954.
AprĂšs avoir accompagnĂ© durant deux ans le chanteur Tony Bennett, Braff avait formĂ© un quartet avec le guitariste George Barnes en 1973. Le groupe, qui avait remportĂ© un certain succĂšs commercial, Ă©tait composĂ© de deux guitaristes et d’un contrebassiste. Le quartet se spĂ©cialisait dans des versions de chansons Ă  succĂšs. Le groupe avait enregistrĂ© six albums au cours de ses deux annĂ©es d’existence, d’abord pour la petite compagnie Chiaroscuro, avant de signer un contrat avec la multinationale RCA, pour laquelle il avait enregistrĂ© une sĂ©rie de chansons associĂ©es Ă  Fred Astaire. Malheureusement, en raison du tempĂ©rament plutĂŽt explosif de Braff, la collaboration avec Barnes avait rapidement volĂ© en Ă©clats. Le groupe Ă©tait de passage Ă  Londres et devait se produire au lĂ©gendaire club de Ronnie Scott, mais Ă  l’époque, le torchon brĂ»lait entre Braff et Barnes, de sorte que la direction de RCA avait dĂ» tenir deux dĂźners sĂ©parĂ©s parce que les deux compĂšres refusaient dorĂ©navant de s’adresser la parole. AprĂšs la dissolution du groupe, Braff s’était concentrĂ© sur sa carriĂšre d’accompagnateur.
DERNIÈRES ANNÉES
De son propre aveu, le jeu de Braff n’avait atteint sa pleine maturitĂ© qu’à l’approche de la cinquantaine. Les meilleurs enregistrements de sa carriĂšre datent d’ailleurs de la fin des annĂ©es 1970. À l’époque, Braff avait signĂ© un contrat avec les disques Concord, une Ă©tiquette spĂ©cialisĂ©e dans un jazz de type ‘’mainstream’’ qui lui avait donnĂ© pratiquement carte blanche. Le contrat de Braff avec Concord comprenait un certain nombre d’albums en duo avec le pianiste Dick Hyman. Parmi ceux-ci, on remarquait une sĂ©lection de piĂšces tirĂ©es du catalogue de la compagnie South Pacific publiĂ©e sous le titre Younger Than Swingtime. Sur un autre album, Hyman avait accompagnĂ© Braff Ă  l’orgue. Plus impressionnante encore Ă©tait une sĂ©rie d’albums publiĂ©s avec les New England Songhounds et le saxophoniste tĂ©nor Scott Hamilton. Les enregistrements comprenaient Ă©galement quelques-uns des rares (mais brillantes) compositions de Braff. Le trompettiste s’était aussi produit en duo avec d’autres pianistes comme Mel Powell, Ralph Sutton, Ellis Larkins et Roger Kellaway.
En prenant de l’ñge, les compositions de Braff Ă©taient devenues plus chaleureuses et ses improvisations beaucoup plus Ă©toffĂ©es. Avec le temps, Braff avait commencĂ© Ă  passer d’un registre Ă  l’autre, faisant une transition rapide entre les basses et les hautes. C’était un peu comme si Braff amorçait un dialogue avec lui-mĂȘme. À l’époque, Braff se rendait rĂ©guliĂšrement en Grande-Bretagne oïżœïżœ il Ă©tait trĂšs populaire dans les festivals. La performance de Braff au Brecon Jazz Festival en 1991 avait Ă©tĂ© filmĂ©e par BBC Wales avant d’ĂȘtre publiĂ©e sur vidĂ©o. Braff avait Ă©galement enregistrĂ© en Grande-Bretagne, notamment dans le cadre de deux CD publiĂ©s par les disques Zephyr en 1996. Victime de divers problĂšmes de santĂ©, Braff avait dĂ» quitter la scĂšne lors de sa derniĂšre performance Ă  Knightsbridge en Grande-Bretagne Ă  l’étĂ© 2002.
Ruby Braff est mort Ă  North Chatham, au Massachusetts, le 9 fĂ©vrier 2003, un mois avant de cĂ©lĂ©brer son 76e anniversaire de naissance. MĂȘme si au moment de sa mort, Braff vivait Ă  Harwich, au Massachusetts, il avait passĂ© une grande partie de son existence dans le quartier de Riverdale, dans le Bronx. On avait attribuĂ© le dĂ©cĂšs de Braff aux effets combinĂ©s de l’emphysĂšme (maladie dont il souffrait depuis plusieurs annĂ©es) et d’une crise cardiaque. Braff laissait dans le deuil une soeur,  Susan Atran, qui rĂ©sidait Ă  Stoughton, au Massachusetts.
Visitant Braff alors qu’il Ă©tait hospitalisĂ© Ă  l’hĂŽpital de Cape Cod en novembre 2002, Mike Carlon avait trouvĂ© son ami remarquablement serein, ce qui avait reprĂ©sentĂ© tout un contraste par rapport Ă  son tempĂ©rament plutĂŽt taciturne.  “I don’t think I’ll ever play my horn again’’, avait alors confiĂ© Braff avec rĂ©signation.
MĂȘme s’il avait connu une sĂ©rie de relations tumultueuses sur le plan sentimental, Braff ne s’était jamais mariĂ©. Curieux retour des choses, Braff avait pris sous son aile Ă  la fin de sa carriĂšre une nouvelle gĂ©nĂ©ration de musiciens qui partageait son admiration pour le jazz traditionnel, dont le saxophoniste Scott Hamilton et le guitariste Howard Alden. Mais mĂȘme si Braff Ă©tait un trompettiste plutĂŽt traditionnel et avait souvent manquĂ© de travail parce qu’on considĂ©rait son style comme un peu dĂ©modĂ©, il n’avait jamais vraiment Ă©tĂ© dĂ©passĂ©. Comme l’écrivait le critique Harvey Pekar: ''Though Braff's style is rooted in the 1930's, it doesn't sound dated.'' 
Tout au long de sa carriĂšre, Braff avait toujours eu des idĂ©es trĂšs arrĂȘtĂ©es sur le type de jazz qui devait ĂȘtre jouĂ© et n’avait jamais laissĂ© planer le moindre doute sur ses convictions Ă  ce sujet. Au cours d’une entrevue accordĂ©e au magazine Down Beat en 1997, Braff avait expliquĂ©: ''Most people play three times louder than they should. Music should be played at a conversational level -- you can't shout a conversation.'' En 1979, Braff avait dĂ©clarĂ© Ă  Wayne Enstice: “I believe in beauty, and there’s got to be nothing but beauty in music. And if you’re not playing beautiful music that takes people to another plane, to a delicious place that they can’t ordinarily get to in their own lives, then you’re producing nothing. I want delicious sounds
 that’ll take me away on a dream.” 
Véritable force de la nature, Braff avait enregistré plus de 250 albums au cours de sa carriÚre.

Out of the Belly of the Beast. 9/11 & NYC's evangelical churches
Yours Truly, One Love by Jennifer Contini Enderby, 2010. jennifercontini.com Forty-five years ago, just as the World Trade Center’s two towers were going up, nearby Primitive Christian Church went down in flames. The disaster symbolized the decline of religion in the city. In a series of articles in 1975, New York Times’ Kenneth Briggs wrote that there was a “decline in the major faiths’

â–Ș "Il y a trois rĂ©ponses possibles Ă  une piĂšce de design – oui, non, et WOW ! Wow est celle que nous recherchons." 💭
Qui est d'accord avec moi ? âœšïžđŸ€©
Pour le petit cours d'histoire, Milton Glaser (1929 - 2020) Ă©tait un graphiste et designer amĂ©ricain de renom. Cofondateur du studio Push Pin Studios, il a Ă©tĂ© une figure majeure du design graphique dans les annĂ©es 1950 et 1960 et est connu pour ces celebres oeuvres comme le logo mondialement connu "I ♄ NY" ou encore l'affiche de Bob Dylan pour l'album "Greatest Hits". Il a reçu des rĂ©compenses prestigieuses, dont le National Medal of Arts en 2009 et sa contribution sans fin au design graphique continue d'influencer la profession. Ces cĂ©lĂšbres citations reflĂštent sa philosophie et son approche du design, mettant l'accent sur la crïżœïżœativitĂ©, la clartĂ© et le travail acharnĂ©.

Hommage à David Soul : une légende de la télévision nous a quitté
Tumblr media
David Soul, un acteur emblĂ©matique connu pour son rĂŽle de Kenneth Richard "Hutch" Hutchinson dans la cĂ©lĂšbre sĂ©rie tĂ©lĂ©visĂ©e "Starsky et Hutch", nous a quittĂ©s cette semaine, laissant derriĂšre lui un hĂ©ritage inoubliable dans le monde du divertissement. Avec une carriĂšre qui s'Ă©tend sur plusieurs dĂ©cennies, Soul a marquĂ© de son empreinte l'industrie du cinĂ©ma et de la tĂ©lĂ©vision, gagnant l'admiration de millions de fans Ă  travers le monde. La sĂ©rie "Starsky et Hutch", diffusĂ©e de 1975 Ă  1979, est devenue culte grĂące Ă  l'alchimie exceptionnelle entre David Soul et Paul Michael Glaser. Soul, dans le rĂŽle de Hutch, et Glaser, interprĂ©tant Starsky, formaient un duo de dĂ©tectives californiens qui luttait contre le crime avec un mĂ©lange unique d'action, d'humour et de camaraderie. Cette sĂ©rie a non seulement dĂ©fini une Ă©poque, mais a Ă©galement ouvert la voie Ă  de nombreuses productions policiĂšres dans les annĂ©es suivantes. Un hommage Ă©mouvant de Paul Michael Glaser Paul Michael Glaser, le coĂ©quipier et ami de longue date de Soul, partage son chagrin et ses souvenirs. "David Ă©tait plus qu'un collĂšgue, il Ă©tait un frĂšre, un ami, un homme bienveillant," confie Glaser. Ces mots rĂ©sonnent comme un Ă©cho puissant de l'affection et du respect mutuels qui liaient les deux acteurs, aussi bien Ă  l'Ă©cran que dans la vie rĂ©elle. Un soutien indĂ©fectible de la communautĂ© La disparition de David Soul a touchĂ© non seulement ceux qui le connaissaient personnellement, mais aussi une communautĂ© mondiale de fans. Le soutien et les hommages Ă©manant du public tĂ©moignent de l'impact profond et durable de son travail. Soul, avec son talent exceptionnel et sa personnalitĂ© chaleureuse, a laissĂ© une empreinte indĂ©lĂ©bile dans le cƓur de ses admirateurs. L'hĂ©ritage de David Soul David Soul restera dans la mĂ©moire collective comme un artiste polyvalent, ayant excellĂ© Ă  la fois comme acteur, chanteur et conteur. Sa passion pour la vie et son dĂ©vouement Ă  son art ont inspirĂ© de nombreuses gĂ©nĂ©rations. Sa contribution Ă  la culture populaire est immense et continuera Ă  ĂȘtre cĂ©lĂ©brĂ©e et apprĂ©ciĂ©e. A lire Ă©galement : La famille d’Eminem : un aperçu complet Vers l'avenir : l'impact continu de "Starsky et Hutch" Alors que le monde du divertissement continue d'Ă©voluer, l'influence de "Starsky et Hutch" reste palpable. Les discussions autour d'un Ă©ventuel reboot de la sĂ©rie, bien que soulignant le changement des temps, mettent en Ă©vidence l'impact intemporel de l'Ɠuvre originale. Soul et Glaser resteront Ă  jamais des figures emblĂ©matiques de la tĂ©lĂ©vision, ayant dĂ©fini un genre et touchĂ© le cƓur de millions de personnes. Une lĂ©gende ne meurt jamais David Soul, bien que nous ayant quittĂ©, continue de vivre Ă  travers ses performances mĂ©morables et l'impact qu'il a eu sur l'industrie du divertissement. Son hĂ©ritage perdurera Ă  travers les gĂ©nĂ©rations, tĂ©moignant de la puissance de son talent et de sa personnalitĂ©. Il sera toujours rappelĂ© avec affection et admiration. Read the full article

« C'est ce que j'ai fait. Je l'ai visitée et j'y ai passé une semaine, voyageant dans toute la ville à pied, à vélo et dans les transports en commun.
