In the last T-Boy article, The Film Soundtracks in Our Lives, Part II – Traveling Boy, we covered the source of many of our favorite musical soundtracks in film. The titles ranged from Alfred Hitchcock & Bernard Herrmann's Psycho to Richard Lester & The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night. In Part II, we discuss the relationship between film director Francoise Truffaut and composer Maurice Jaubert in Le Chambre Verte,L’Histoire d’Adèle, L’Homme qui aimait les femmes and Argent de poche; Jaubert’s first piano prize; banned films during the Nazi occupation of France, saved by Henri Langlois et la Cinémathèque française; Maurice Ravel as Jaubert’s best man at his wedding; and La Nouvelle Vague and the politique des auteurs.

After my arrival at London's Heathrow Airport, I was whisked away in one the city's famous Black Cabs. I was relaxed and feeling carefree, well aware that a London Cabbie knew every part of the city like the back of their hand. Unlike U.S. taxi or Uber drivers where the gig is often a part time one, its purpose to stretch out incomes like a waiter or parking valet while waiting for that big break. But in London to be a Black Cab driver is nothing less than a proud full time endeavor. Three and a half to four years of training requires the driver to be one, which includes person-to-person non online tests. By simply naming an address, establishment or even a landmark you will be transported to your place of interest without any form of hesitation. The drivers can be chatty, too; interested in who you are and where you're from, and most importantly serving as an ambassador of London.
