The Squeeze Box Boy
On the way to "la grande place" in Brussel, some sweet sad songs came to my ears, it remembered me some old songs from Les Negresses Vertes. I kept on walking to get closer to the source, but there was not any man playing that, but this little boy.
How this little and smiling boy could make such a deep and sad melody made me thought that maybe he knew more things that I suppose he could know.
I noted the grace of his little hand on the keyboard, he's not a student of music for sure, he's a teacher with discipline.
Some meters ahead there was his father, selling roses and constantly looking at his boy; his eyes also revealed that he was proud of him. Very proud.
Brussel, 2005.
