The scent of sunlight

It was 27° Celsius the other day when I assisted in the late harvest of the unique autochthonous "Aglianico del Vulture" grapes in the magnificent vulcanic "Vulture" area of the southern Italian region of Basilicata. The warm autumn sun accentuated the mixture of natural scents of earth, olive-and chestnut tree bark, vine leaves and grapes, while the air was filled with laughter and soft singing of the youngsters who picked the grapes.
A perfect atmosphere which I had wished could last forever.

Something different

I decided to do something different this time.
Two weeks ago I recorded Cry Me A River which I will sing on stage here in Arona during a big musical event on the 2nd of July.
If you wish to listen to the song, connect yourself to the hereunder indicated link.
Wish me luck!
