Excerpts from the Guest Book...    

  • "Hello to you all musicians. Happy trails and courage to all that will get back to work, we are waiting for the next photos. Only great memories, in fact, I can't wait for the next workshop. Really, my head is full and is was so very friendly. See you soon."

    Pierre

  • "It has been 5 mn since I am searching for the right words to describe what I experienced but nothing comes out other than the feeling of pleasure, to have shared times, some words and some notes, with each one of you and to have the satisfaction to have made a leap forward in my quest to play music. Thank you Alain, Corrine, Laurent, Pierre and Richard, but the road is still a long one before my Sax will know nirvana."

    Bruno

  • "Hi Pierre, a big thank you for that week long workshop, very well organized and a big thank you to all in the team for your patience and understanding."

    Elisabeth

  • "Again a very god thank you for this week. We got spanked hard but with a huge pleasure, (it's new to me). We rehearsed tuesday evening and we applied what we learned with you. I am trying to put all my electronically memorized moments on the web site. I know that for you all the improvisation are part of your daily life as it it your work but I tell myself that artists are a little different, maybe you get to mix it all?. In any events a huge hello from Switzerland. I hope to see you all soon in Sommieres for a new workshop. Best wishes to you all."

    Christian

  • "Sending you all a big sunny hello from Sete. Thank you to Julia and Christian for their photo site (pics and video) allowing us to relive magical moments."

    Pascale

  • "My head is still full of wonderful musical memories and I have a crazy desire to learn much more. Parisians, I will see you soon and awaiting to get news. May the Music be with you and ciao."

    Nicolas

  • "Hello to you all. I do not know how to convey my joy, happiness that I spent with all of you and all those unforgettable moments filled with music, friendship, sharing and silliness. I do not know how to express the tears I cried when I left this beautiful, wonderful place where we all stayed. Vive La France!"

    Philippe

  • "I arrived finely in Brussels... it is cold and it's raining, what a surprise. I have a bad case of the Le Cart Blues, so bad that I decided to type the list of e mails of each one of you to make those memories last a little longer. So few are that weeks in my life where I felt this kind of musical and human positive vibration. Thank you all. Return to reality is hard. I hope that our path will cross soon and do let me know if you come to Brussels or Paris. Sweet kisses."

    Julia

  • "So glad you exist"
