| When Celine was nine years old, her father and her sister, Claudette bought a restaurant-bar, which they called "Le Vieux Baril". or in English, "The Old Barrel". For Celine, this was like a dream come true... She could entertain the costumers! Paul, who was fifteen at that time, decided to buy an electric guitar, and together with his other siblings, they created a band and played for the costumers. Every evening Celine listened to her idols play, and it didn't take many days until she began begging if she could also sing a couple of songs. Her mother, Therese, thought she was too young to entertain in a bar, but after a while, she agreed to let her stay there on one condition. She could stay there as long as she wanted, if she went to school next day. But no singing. Celine stayed often in the bar until 4am in the morning, and then she dragged herself off to school the next day, not wanting to lose her part of the condition. |
