Jones has programmed his entire career style around his appeal to the mature woman, starting with the neat trim that edges his thick, curly head of hair, and continuing with his tuxedo and matching vest. "You can sing to the kids in a pair of denims, long hair and a sweatshirt," he says, "but not to the adults."

Over the years, he has built a small museum in a blockhouse and has seen to it that the original wooden markers naming local roads and paths after fallen American soldiers were replaced by neat cement bornés bearing the information. In the village's Café du 6 Juin, under crude murals depicting the invasion, the locals sit over their Calvados and chat about the débarquement as if it had happened yesterday...
