My co-worker of 11 years, Carolina, has a partner, Carlos Childe, who is a 
professional jazz musician. He is passionate about traditional New Orleans 
jazz, and he and Carolina have made several trips to New Orleans, interviewing 
some of the greats for Carlos’s Youtube channel. One of those greats is Will 
Smith <https://www.preservationhall.com/people/will-smith/>, member of the 
Preservation Hall. Right now, Will Smith is in Spain, touring together with 
Carlos. They have played all over the country, and on Friday they performed in 
the municipality of San Juan de Alicante, a suburb next to the one in which I 
live, in an outdoor venue just 3 km from my house. It was a free concert, part 
of a jazz festival put on by the municipality. Of course I went, and I must say 
that even though traditional N.O. jazz is not my favourite jazz genre, I 
enjoyed it very much. Some of of my co-workers also went—Carolina has many 
friends in the office—and all had a good time. I took pictures, obviously, here 
are 37 of them:

You may notice there were quite a few senior citizens in the audience. The 
explanation is very simple: next to the square where the concert was held there 
is a nursing home, and many of the residents were in attendance, often 
accompanied by their middle-aged children.

As always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated. I think it is 
fairly obvious who Will Smith is; Carlos is the guy with the curly hair and the 
banjo.

Cheers,
Nathan
