Playing in the streets of Paris

One could think that you can do whatever you want in the city of lights, but like every old cities, it has rules, old fashioned mentalities and narrow minded people.
When you have people like these guys, coming all the way from Alaska to play music and discover french habits, you might think that each door should be open to them.
Unfortunately it is not. Even though they are renting an amazing 200 meters square parisian flat in a typical Haussmanian building (Georges Eugene Haussman was the guy who redesigned Paris streets during the 19th century), the neighbors don't see it the same way: they don't want to be bothered in their everyday habits and especially by fiddles and banjos.
Therefore these guys had to go outside to be able to relieve their thirst of music.
After trying a couple different bars where they've been told they couldn't play inside (owners prefered to keep tv turned on playing commercial music videos !), they finally found a place where people were enjoying their presence and music.
Later on, after a dinner made by King Ray and his queen, they went out again and started playing outside of a bar (see picts above). It was a big hit! People stopped in the street to listen, amazed to see that here; some kids passed by, took their guitar and started to play with everyone, scating and dancing. The waiter kept bringing beers and everyone felt good.
It was a very nice moment.
Tonight everyone is coming to my house to play as long as they want.
