Amadeus

Perhaps one day, I will write a book, "How to become friends with your neighbors". But this title would be ironic.

At Thanksgiving I met two musicians at a friend's house . They are students at "The Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University", and at the end of the evening, we made an appointment for a photo session at my studio in my apartment.

American houses have a problem. I think the guy who made the sound proofing code was deaf... In France we have a idiom for that, we say : ''The wall are made of paper". I think here it's the same.

My two musicians arrived on time, and I said '' take a seat, forget about me, play and go into your music world ." I never could have imagined the power of the cello and violin... I didn't know if my neighbors knew, but I'm sure they know now !!!

In two hours, I had become best friends or best enemies with my neighbors. that would depend on whether they loved classical music. Fortunately the musicians played magically. Perhaps if they had been beginners (or drummers), the story would have been different.
