Fresh and long-awaited news arrived yesterday : so now I can say I’m officially going to teach French in an American university in August, and that will be in St Joseph, Missouri !
Which is very funny for a Jesse James fan.
Family is a bit scared by tornadoes and winter, but for my part it’s such a relief to get a visa after one year of procedures that I cannot wait to be there :-)

“Song for Bob” by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis
from the soundtrack of “The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford”
Robert Ford shot and killed Jesse James on 3 April 1882, with his brother Charlie watching. The brothers immediately turned themselves into the law and were charged with the murder of Jesse James, plead guilty, were sentenced to be hanged and then pardoned by Missouri Governor Thomas Crittenden (all on the same day).
Crittenden had made capturing Jesse James a priority, but was barred by law from offering a large reward. Sources indicate that he made a deal with Robert Ford to pay him $10,000 (about $250,000 in today’s money) to bring in the outlaw (Charlie Ford was already a member of the James Gang). The brothers claimed they were ever only paid a small fraction of the bounty.
After the killing of Jesse James, Charlie and Robert Ford toured from stage to stage re-enacting the killing in a show titled, The Brother’s Vow; or, the Bandit’s Revenge, which they performed hundreds of times for more than 2 years. Charlie played the role of Jesse James and became depressed from pretending to be shot night after night.
Charlie Ford developed an addiction to morphine, was in financial trouble, and diagnosed with tuberculosis when he took his own life on 4 May 1884 (newspaper accounts cite 6 May, but his grave is marked as the fourth).
