In 2002 Darren and I spend several days of our vacation
at the Côte d'Azur.
In the evening of our arrival we were both quite tired, but
it was too early to go to bed already and in addition we felt very clearly that we still didn't have anything for dinner yet.
So we got into the car again and off we went to Ste. Maxime to make peace with our stomacks.
On our way back from the restaurant to the car we
passed "Le Wafou", a brasserie with live music.
We decided to stay a bit and were looking for a table when suddenly Jim appeared and started to sing.
Darren and me looked at each other and we both thought the same: "What a voice!"
Jim's voice, his way of singing and his
interpretation of
songs like "Last Resort" or "Hallelujah" got right
through to our hearts and
though we didn't know any of his own songs, I bought his CD not only for Darren
and me, but also for Doria, Gabriela, Geraldo and Joy .
It turned out to be a good choice, because his music helped me to go through a rather
stressful time in my job, when I was struggling every morning to get out of bed,
while I would have rather preferred to hide under my blanket.
But as soon as I was in the car and his voice filled its interior I felt safe and protected ...
Since that time it has become obligatory for Darren and me to drop by at Ste. Maxime
in summer to hear Jim sing live.
