Are you a Tango-dancing spy, that is searching suitcase No.347 with very suspicious contents in Nice, Havanna or Moscow in 1972? Are you wearing your best white linen suite doing the cha-cha-cha in Rico..s Bar (re-incarnated back in time at the birth place of Calypso) or would you recognize the legendary ..rat pack.. in a 60..s Las Vegas nightclub creating that "swingfood mood"?No, this is not a James Bond movie, not even a Humphrey Bogart classic in Casablanca, neither a cotton plantation in the Southern States in the..Summertime.., nor is it "Avenue du Gare" where you smoke your last cigar... Keep cool-it..s just the film in your head!

Sounds Like: The film in my head...Travelling on Route du Soleil, the Reviera, Portofino or St.Tropez in a `59 Aston Martin cabriolet. Dry martoni on ice, La Plaza Grand Hotel, a suitcase with suspicious content. Break. A ronflavoured Latin Brass Band wearing sweated white linen suits playing on my favourite veranda in the Southern States. Was this my last cigar? No, later I got that "Swingfood-Mood" at a last stop at the Casablanca Bar. I took the night train and arrived at Grand Central - in slow motion... Music is the only realised Utopia, watch this space!
