LOL….I moved to the DFW area in 1984 and finished High School and went to college in Texas. During the summer, we’d go to this shit hole club called the Prophet Bar, in Deep Ellum on Thursday nights, and watch him play. That club is probably some hipster art gallery now, I’m sure….. Must have seen him at least 50 times in the late 80s. He literally had a gig every night from Thur-Sat at some Deep Ellum club for at least 5 years. Met him and had beers with him (I had a fake ID) countless times after a show. His real name is Jim and he’s one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet and his shows were always wild..

Good stuff Rocco. Prophet Bar, gotta love the name. When it comes to Rockabilly I would consider him the Prophet.

You're one lucky dude. What a fantastic experience that would have been. Hopefully burlesque fish-net stocking fans were present. Good to hear he was a nice dude.

Disappointed in you Rocco "Fake ID huh?". I'm telling your mom. LOL

Listening to some Emerson Lake and Palmer ...

Anyway, I'd heard this barrel organ playing. And I walked on back home towards my apartment. I went past this cafe and I heard the voice of Edith Piaf, the famous French lady singer. And when I got back to the apartment I thought, I really would like to write a sort of French song with some French feeling. I don't really speak French, but I knew this phrase, 'c'est la vie,' that's life. And so I thought, That would make a good idea for a song.

So I wrote this song, "C'est la Vie," and we recorded it and put it onto Works Volume I. However, a couple of years later it was covered by a French singer called Johnny Hallyday. And he's a sort of French Elvis Presley. Anyway, he had a #1 hit with it in France, which as an Englishman, of course, gave me a great deal of pleasure.
