...that right? Well I'm glad you made this one, cause look at all these fine women they got out here today." He winked and chuckled softly. Then he put the mouthpiece of his tenor sax to his lips and made a sort of "zonk" deep in the lower register. Just behind Emanuel, I spotted "Booker-T" Glass, the 85-year-old bass drummer.

Such action is highly unlikely before a new French government is installed in June.
