Biographie

Fabienne Walker-Monod
Born on 29/11/1964
Translator

1978 - 1980
First trip to the USA. I learn more English in this 2 1/2 month trip than 3 years of high-school English have taught me. Fabulous trip with a Greyhound bus-pass for 50 bucks that took sis and I from New York to L.A. Then came the time to go back to France... Absolute terror! I already know that "home" will never be France. I survived, quit school as I was learning nothing in there, then set my own rigorous study plan. 6 hours of piano practice per day, geography, history, mathematics, French, English and so on, self-taught while working for my dad evenings and nights. I had a full planning allowing only 4 hours of sleep per night. I DID stick to it for over 2 years. A VERY determined teenager starving for knowledge.

Ludwig Van Beethoven
Born on 16/12/1770
Musician

1813
The most successful concert of Beethoven's life, featuring the Seventh and Eight Symphonies and Wellington's Victory established the composer as the greatest of his time. The audience was simply overwhelmed by the grandeur of his achievements and the enthusiasm and admiration was not to be deceived by the first presentation of Fidelio a few months later...

Beethoven completely rewrote the unsuccesful Leonora and renamed it Fidelio. This latter version received praise and applause and remains the only Opera composed by Ludwig van Beethoven.

1981
Among my childhood memories, the one that stands out most is a journey to Centre and North America, with my brother Etienne and my father. 20 years later as I write these lines, visions of this period are still strikingly clear. The mysteries of the pyramids and of Inca cities, as well as the gigantism of America and the Statue of Liberty, which didn't enjoy the same reputation as it has today, amazed my young eyes.

1 January 2006 - 18 January 2007
I'm back! Finally I've gotten access to this diary. This has been quite a year. I saw my brother Tony for the first time in 4 years. He was married, to a lovely lady named Christy, and they just bought their first home. (Someone's doing things the right way; and it's certainly not me.)

I, on the other hand, have taken a few more years to get myself together. I met a sweet, wonderful man. (After all the bad ones I went through) We've done a LOT of traveling as well. To Costa Rica, SanFrancisco, New York, Paris, Mazamet, Toulouse, and Barcelona. And back to Val D'Isere this March.

So there's the present. I'll be back to tell the past!

David Bowie
Born on 8/1/1947
Singer

3 July 1973
Bowie tours and gives press conferences as Ziggy before a dramatic and surprising on-stage "withdrawal" at London's Hammersmith Odeon on 3 July 1973.
Bowie breaks up the Spiders from Mars and moves on from his Ziggy persona. Many of his previous songs and albums are re-released at this time and do well in the charts. "Pin Ups", a collection of covers of 1960s favourites, is released in October 1973, and peaks at no 1 in the UK.

1971
His next record is "Hunky Dory". The young songwriter pays direct homage to his influences e.g. "Song for Bob Dylan", "Andy Warhol", and "Queen Bitch". As with the single "Changes", Hunky Dory is not a big hit but it lays the groundwork for his future stardom.
His son is born on 30 May 1971 and named Zowie (Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones).
