In what is perhaps one of the most disturbing photos I have seen in a long time, a baritone player is decked out in some kind of riot\/biohazard\/terrorism mask, while performing on a balcony of some type. According to the photographer’s description, the photo was taken in Aix, France, at the 2013 inauguration of Marseille-Provence.<\/p>\n

A quick Google search turned up a lot of French references to the inauguration, sadly I don’t speak or read the language, so I had to rely on the 1 site that has English content. According to The Provence Harold:<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Marseille-Provence 2013 \u2013 This week-end, on January 12 and 13, Marseille-Provence 2013 will be launched! While many events are taking place in Marseille, here are those set in the cities of Provence, such as Aix-en-Provence or Arles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

AIX-EN-PROVENCE<\/span>…<\/p>\n

Reading through all the rest of the events, this sounds like an interesting festival. It certainly has a variety of arts, and the treasure quest sounds like a great opportunity to explore the area.<\/p>\n

Getting back to the bari player in the photo, he reminds me of another rather post-apocalyptic saxophone player<\/a> I featured on my blog awhile back. I remarked at the time that perhaps he was busking at the subway station during a bioterrorism scare.<\/p>\n

Perhaps we’re starting to detect a trend here. The old joke has always been that after a nuclear attack, the only things to survive would be cockroaches, Twinkies, and Cher. Well perhaps we need to add saxophone players to the list.  \ud83d\ude08<\/p>\n
