So bad that I got fired by friends elsewhere, gently but firmly. Fortunately I was then a little less bad as a doctor than as a musician! In any case, one of our hits in concert, was the adaptation of an old song of the 50s, La Goualante du Pauvre Jean, which we picked up, all bellowing in chorus, the chorus of high metaphysical reach.
