I'm sorry but that looks more like..."Can a deranged asshole please sit in."  Which may be more accurate than you might think:)

Google Translate gives"Ça vous dérange si je m'assois en?" for "Do you mind
if I sit in?"

Okay, okay, the list wins. 
I had a nice e-mail from a lady in the U.K. with notes on clubs.  Another
with more info from my friend Katie Cavera.  Then a trumpet player in Amiens
recommended that the best thing to do enjoy a couple of sets and politely
approach the band on the last set of the night.
And finally, Mr. Vax reminded me that I ain't lugging' a tuba around so why
the hell not take my horn along?  


I speak better clarinet than French anyway. 


Thanks to everyone for your input!

 I don't know protocol in France, but I almost never go anywhere without my
horn.  You never know when the chance to play will come up. If you get to
talk to the musicians on a break, heck - just ask.  The worst that can
happen is that 
they say no.   And with an instrument as small as a clarinet, there
certainly 
aren't any travel or flying hassles.  BRING IT!

1Date: Sun, 5 May 2013 15:31:47 -0400 (EDT)From: Larry Garrett I'll be in
Paris 
next week and close to a couple of clubs which feature trad jazz (Caveau de
la 
Huchette and Petite Journal).  Is any one on the list familiar with the
protocol 
to potentially (and politely asking to) sit in, or is that something that
would 
be frowned on over there?  I've had the opportunity to sit in at various
clubs 
in New Orleans (where many of the bands are very welcoming as long as, in
the 
words of one trumpet leader one night---you don't suck.)  Just trying to
decide 
whether or not to lug my horn across the Atlantic.  Guess I could always end
up 
busking to pay for the trip.  Any advice appreciated....Larry GarrettKC
