Looking for other music at AKA today, I saw a new remastered reissue of 1961 and 1964 Olympia dates by Jacques Brel. I had not listened Brel in quite a while. My daughter Elena, who did not know him, asks how he can sound so exhilarating when the words are often so sad. That was the deepest mystery of his art. I'm here totally transfixed by the 1961 concert. 8:11:54 PM
