Ten days later, two musicians [guitar & berimbau] were performing an interesting
version of Brecht-Weill's 'Alabama Song'.

I was in a hurry.

Here is a statue proposed by G@tto as an outsider...
[PPG doesn't belong to the CityDailyPhoto community].

Question : who is this guy who pointedly ignores the triumphant attitude
of the 'Genius of the Bastille'?



Who knows the Answer ?
