We arrived in Antibes, France on a chilly night after an afternoon in Monte Carlo. We knew the Cannes Film Festival was going on just a bit south of us but we didn't realize how close until everyone started calling it 'The Festival' as if we should know. We pretended we did. We got settled into our new 'home' and I went burn a little extra energy in the fitness center. On my way out I had the best surprise. In the lobby of our hotel I found an entire 19-piece 1930's New Orleans style band warming up for a show. I think I was the only 'groupie' in the lobby in my gym clothes but I grabbed this little bit of video (the music is the best part so disregard the visual).
Turns out one of the band members grew up outside of Batavia and we chatted a bit. Wish we could have attended the private party that they were booked for in Cannes at the mansion with the custom stage built over the pool but we had kids upstairs that needed dinner and we just couldn't swing it;). Next time.
We won't miss there next show in Chicago. www.vaudandthevillains.com
