- 'O Sole Mio -
What a beautiful thing is a sunny day!
The air is serene after a storm,
The air is so fresh that it already feels like a celebration.
What a beautiful thing is a sunny day!
But another sun,
that's brighter still,
It's my own sun
that's upon your face!
The sun, my own sun,
It's upon your face!
It's upon your face!
When night comes and the sun has gone down,
I almost start feeling melancholy;
I'd stay below your window
When night comes and the sun has gone down.
But another sun,
that's brighter still,
It's my own sun
that's upon your face!
The sun, my own sun,
It's upon your face!
It's upon your face!
I started bugging my parents about playing the guitar when I was 10 or 11, but they made me take piano lessons for two years. Then, my grandmother sent a Sears Harmony six string for Christmas when I was 13 and I took guitar lessons for a while (with my mom). When I'd eventually mastered John Denver's extensive catalogue, I went all maverick and started to work on my Neil Young lead playing and falsetto. Subsequently, I bought my first nice guitar at age 16, spending $470 with the $1.65 per hour earnings from my first real job at McDonalds. (That's like $50,000, I think, in today's money.) The rest is also history.
Very occasionally. I used to get terrible stage fright, something that I hope I'm overcoming as I learn to better channel Lyle Lovett's mojo chill, leaving me to focus on recording projects instead.
How do you describe the sixty degrees of separation between John Denver and Robert Fripp? I don't know how. Please help me.
Martin and Bourgeois acoustics, Gibson and PRS electrics, still looking for the right amps, but relying on a Peavey Classic 30 and a Tech 21 for backup, SWR bass/acoustic amp, Boss GT-3, etc.
Music is the cup which holds the wine of silence. Robert Fripp
