6 - Documentary

(Merri C. :) Sin-é was so teeny and I wanted to show how this place looked like, so I bought a wide angle camera, got up a ladder to see the whole room.
J was just sitting, and I think this picture really shows a lot of Js sense of humour. Its a very grotesque photo.
He is just standing there and looking up and the people dont even look at him. It really shows his incredible sense of humour as he chose that picture to be his album cover. You know its true that this old Irish buffer was reading a newspaper and absolutely no one cared about J!
That was really bizarre. I liked the idea and thought it was great. I was really glad that he chose that.

whats the song at 3:22 ??

i hear it all the time and i do not know what its called

[buckleysoreal2]

@jumpyourbone I think it's from Edith Piaf (one of Jeff's favourite singers). The song is called 'Je n'en pas connais la fin'..

Thanks for this, does a version exist without the french voice over? I'm an english speaker an find it hard to fully appreciate trying to listen out to the voice.

[buckleysoreal2]

well, it´s actually German ;D

I really don´t know if there´s another version without the dubbing...

[ecald12]

I do know what you mean, however, not living in NYC at the time, I guess I somehow missed out on it altogether. But, better late than never.

@ecald12 you know- I feel the same way, especially being in that area at the same time, but I know I heard him on an alternative radio station at the time and was simply stunned...well, you probably caught the vibe of it all going on at that time no? Watching this video, I know although separate, I was in sync with the vibe, know what I mean? Cheers.

best CD EVER. I bought it in a shop for 11 dollars. I'd have paid 100.

[ecald12]

I can't believe that when Jeff was alive and playing in New York I was unaware of him. What an opportunity I missed! I will never forgive myself, nor should I be forgiven.

Check out Merri, shes so young and still beautiful, I met her not long ago and she sighned her 'Wish for Song' book for me. The song you speak of jumpyourbone, is indeed Je n'en connais pas le fin! Its on the "Sin-e" albums

[GypsyTheft]

I always notice some weird lacey thing hanging on his guitar. What is that? The strings?

[AidanMusik]

Heyy, do you have any idea what the song that begins at 3:22 is?
