How about a little page of memories? In the summer of 1966, I was 57 years younger, and I had been invited to spend a day at Cadaquès, at the home of the unforgettable Salvador Dali. The following year, I toured Italy with a group I'd called the 'Panier de Crabes', whose rhythm guitarist, known as Bibi, was soon to become very famous in France under the name Herbert Léonard. Two years later, wearing an engineer's three piece suit, I presented to the local council our project for a tourist centre on the banks of an artificial lake in our little Auvergne village; the project never came to fruition, I don't know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing!
