Since Napoleon failed to capture Leipzig in 1813, it's up to Léo (a real Frenchman) to do it tomorrow.
Though obviously no rock n' roll guy, I tried to impress Léo by digging up an old photo of me and French punk legend Tai-Luc, taken in Paris in March of 2008. Léo said, "Hey, La Souris Déglinguée is my dad's favorite band!"

Hey Linh, I didn't know you wrote songs. Or maybe you always have kinda? The thing that Robert Frost wrote, "the aim was song" or something?
Anyway, that's really cool. I play a lot and always thought I could ask to use someone's poetry to bolt it onto the music, if they felt like it worked. I play, and someone else would sing, because I can't do that since the guitar takes all my attention. I think I'm better at playing then speaking or writing, since each of those has a history of disaster. Can't wait to listen!
Hi jac.bane.sr,
Leo is a 21-year-old student here in Leipzig, and I met him after a public talk I gave. We became friends. Leo said he played guitar and wanted to write songs, but had a hard time coming up with lyrics, so I sent him a few poems, but we both realized all but one didn't quite work as songs. That's when I started to write proper songs. As we knew we were leaving Leipzig soon, we decided to mount some kind of a performance before we were out of here.
Linh
