I only put a photo, his personal touch, a couple and the musicians behind it. In the photos, there must have been other ones but they mixed with mine. So it's difficult to find them even with the time.
So Alain, excuse me for maybe putting my signature on one of your photos.
Moral: next time, take your equipment... smile
