Tonight the show is about is about two hours away. Sound check is over another great Italian meal and here it goes. Playing tonight at Spazio Musica, William on sound and Marka met is at the door. Had a couple of interviews with Italian podcasts and met producers and publishing reps from here. So begin the las t 1/3 of the tour.

Last night a wonderful collection of folks and how many times can the food here get mentioned. Circolo ?? will have to recheck notes on this

Vicenza was an evening reminiscent of the east village days people crowded in to a room and sitting on the floor. Almost a religious experience. How intensely people respond to the music. Seems that language is no barrier to the music.

Milano the first room I ever played in Italy three years ago with Andrea Parodi and the TVZ crew. Hope to see those guys this time around. Opened for a group which was a cross between Potato Babies and Firesign Theater. Something to remember.

The club in Senegno threw a Obama party red white and blue baloons and an American flag flying above the stage and Apple Pie for all. It was rather humbling and very pride inspiring at the same time.

Two more nights after tonight. Looking forward to this room which has so much history in Italy. Andy White has played here as has Rad and Gurf and Sam Baker, Dayna Kurz. Have lots of pics to post and films when I get a chance to get through it. Pietro has driven and worked tirelessly to make this a success and in the 2,000 kilometers we have logged has always greeted me with a cheerful Rallllssstonee! It will be hard to say goodbye. but for now "buon sonoro!"
