I met her on April 30th 2003, and in 2006, when she was singing in my hometown.
She asked me my name and signed the « Arabesque » DVD.
I asked her for a hug she accepted. To this day I still have the picture of her hugging me.
Jane Birkin was the only artist who helped me dealing with my father´s passing back in 2001.
Now she´s dead too, I´m lost.
Jane Birkin was a true person she was authentic. She was unique.
