At the Peace Cafe: Thomas Fersen and "Au Café de la Paix"

French singer-songwriter Thomas Fersen sings the random tune for today, entitled Au Café de la Paix. From Paris, Fersen started out as a punk rocker but then began playing piano in café-theatres. A poet, he he likes to take as subject matter everyday life and things, as well as personal explorations of the faults, failings and dreams of ordinary people. His albums range in styles from rock, folk-rock, jazz and blues. He released his first album in 1993 and has since put out 13 albums in total - the latest in 2017. You can find Au Café de la Paix on his 1995 album Les Ronds de Carotte and on the various artists compilation Putumayo Presents: Paris (2006). The song is about a man waiting for a date at a cafe.
