Fats Waller In Paris

Once we got to Notre Dame this morning, it became abundantly clear that it was not in the cards for us to clim to the top of the tower. Throngs of tourists mobbed the square and the line for the tower climb reached around the corner. It was already 90 degrees, at 11am.

And so, we decided to get ice cream at Berthillon on the Ile St Louis, which is just a short bridge from the church. Along the way, we first saw a trio playing Johnny Cash songs, and quite well, at that.

The trio pictured here was playing "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Right Myself a Letter", by Fats Waller.  The guy on the horn also sang, with a slight French accent. I managed to video this on Isabella's Flip and will figure out how to upload it. It was a great find on a Saturday morning.
