Meanwhile I added this 'globe' thingy to my blog. I thought it fun to see where in the world the music of Monsieur Maurice is appreciated.  After a few days I noticed something strange...

The green dots are people that visited the blog... but notice the green dot south of Africa in the middle of the Southern Ocean...

Who's that ??? Where does he live ??? On a boat ???

If you are the mystery visitor please come forward in the comment section. I would love to know where you are.

Greetings 

Monsieur Maurice
