A very nice concert in front of an appreciative and enthusiastic audience.
Sam sung various songs of his latest album "Cotton", which complets the trilogy that began
with Mercy and Pretty World.
Objectively speaking Sam is not the world's greatest singer and guitar player, but his lyrics, combined
with his charming personality are so beautiful, that his somgs move you to tears.
The Paradiso had a strict schedule that night, as there was one more act, so Sam tried to talk less and
perform more songs.
After the show he sold and signed "Cotton", where he took his time to talk to everybody. He clearly enjoyed that
and loved to kiss all the women (and a few men) "European style", so 3 kisses on the cheeck.Sometimes he
repeated that, I had to kiss him twice.
