About Me

There once was a girl who lived on the third floor of a very old building downtown.
It had been a very grand and splendid building in its day, but after decades of neglect it had become a sad old tumble of a place. As a gesture to escape the ennui of the lonely life she led, the young woman - surrounded by peeling wallpaper, crooked wood floors and old stained glass - imagined that at night her shabby little third floor apartment magically transformed into a wonderful cabaret, and that her anonymous third floor neighbours were actually friends who comprised her fabulous band. Their boisterousness and joyful playing belied her sadness, lifting her out of reality and firmly esconced in the glad safety of imagination.
And that, darlings, is the true-blue story of Lenni Jabour and The Third Floor.

Il était une fois une jeune femme qui vivait en ville au troisème étage d'un vieil immeuble Vitorien.
Cet immeuble était autrefois un des plus beaux de la ville, mais après des années de négligence , il tombait lentement en ruines. Tentant d'échapper à l'ennui de sa vie si solitaire, cette jeune femme- cernée par du papier peint en lambeaux, des planchers défoncés et d'étranges vitraux- a commencé à imaginer que dès la nuit tombée, son petit refuge du troisième étage se transformait comme par magie en un merveilleux cabaret et que ses amis les voisins étaient devenus d'incroyables musiciens. Leur joie de jouer et leur enthusiasme la rendait moins triste. Elle se sentait tout d'un coup décoller de la réalité pour atterir de plein pieds dans les bras rassurants et chaleureux de l'imagination....
