    Early morning riser?

    How about an open air concert at the mythical Bains des Paquis, the downtown piblic beach on the lake? Every morning, from 6:00 to 7:00 am, something you won’t forget!

    The program (in French) here.

    Getting back to my previous message (3rd in this thread), we went this morning to the Musical Dawn at Bains des Pâquis, on the lake in downtown Geneva. Every morning from 6 to 7 (this morning actually they played until 7:30). Every day a different program. This morning it was the band, Cissokho Brothers, traditional musicians from Senegal, and the crowd was quite large, considering the hour (I’ll attach a photo later today). I repeat my encouragement that you attend. To sit in front be on time or even 10 minutes early. The cafeteria opens at 6 if you need a coffee or breakfast.

    Entrance free (courtesy of the Geneva taxpayer, isn’t that nice?). Vary laid-back. On Aug. 9, Matt Elliott (guitar/songs) is scheduled.
