Bio
Restlessness and an overwhelming urge to communicate are the only spurs that incite certain artists to take action. Max Maffia is without doubt one of these artists. While many artists, before acting, think about their sales potential and the chances of meeting with general approval, Maffia, like few others, acts because he has no choice. His lifestyle and artistic production are living proof. Born in Salerno, a fiery electric guitarist with a strong Hendrix stamp and influenced by the sound of 4AD, Max has also demonstrated with the acoustic guitar his ability to reach extraordinary states of grace. His first release was the cd “Sky and Misery”, produced by Paul Chain in 1995, with the rock group the “Peanuts”. For a year or two he was a member of the ska group “Appesi Aun Filo” and also played with “Il Pozzo di San Patrizio”, recording with them the album “Altri Tempi” (Other Times) – a mix of Irish folk, dub and space rock – and taking part in their international tour. In the meantime Max moved ahead with his own self-produced projects such as “Stagioni” (Seasons) and “Anywhere in the World”, the soundtrack to a video entitled “Picasso, sulle impronte del mito” (Picasso, on the artist’s trail). From 2005-2006 he collaborated with Nicodemo, a group of electronica songsters, on the albums “Boulevard Du Sud” (Southern Boulevard) and “Il Treno per Bologna” (The train for Bologna) while dedicating himself at the same time to the cultural association “Anima Mundi” of which he is both founder and president. In the spring of 2007 he successfully completed the difficult musical and hunanitarian project “The Right Compilation” supported by the FAO for the Telefood programme. The album is the result of a meeting of artists from various cultural and stylistic backgrounds such as the Scambio, the Israelian singer Talya G. A. Solan, the Argentinian singer Florencia Ruiz and the Neapolitan sitar player Guido Schiraldi. At the moment Max Maffia has finishe recording a new cd with "the Peanuts" and is touring with his new band "Max Maffia & the Empty Daybox". -

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF LOVE ...
"You will find as you look back upon your LIFE
that the MOMENTS when you have REALLY LIVED
are the MOMENTS when you have DONE THINGS
in the SPIRIT OF LOVE."
~ Henry Drummond
THERE ARE FOUR QUESTIONS OF VALUE IN LIFE.
WHAT IS SACRED? OF WHAT IS THE SPIRIT MADE?
WHAT IS WORTH LIVING FOR, AND WHAT IS WORTH
DYING FOR? THE ANSWER TO EACH IS THE SAME.
ONLY LOVE.
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

Merry Christmas Max!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS FROM "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" ...
Potter, the banker, has given a speech to the Board of the Building and Loan, referring to the working people of Bedford Falls as a "DISCONTENTED LAZY RABBLE."
George Bailey responds, defending his late father, Peter Bailey, and the working people whom he championed.
"... he did help a few people get out of your slums, Mr. Potter. And what's wrong with that? ... You...you said...What'd you say just a minute ago?...They had to wait and save their money before they even ought to think of a decent home. Wait! Wait for what? Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're so old and broken-down that they...Do you know how long it takes a working man to save five thousand dollars?
Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that THIS RABBLE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ... THEY DO MOST OF THE WORKING AND PAYING AND LIVING AND DYING IN THIS COMMUNITY. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. PEOPLE WERE HUMAN BEINGS TO HIM, BUT TO YOU, A WARPED FRUSTRATED OLD MAN, THEY'RE CATTLE. Well, in my book HE DIED A MUCH RICHER MAN THAN YOU'LL EVER BE!"
ALWAYS REMEMBER, NO MAN IS A FAILURE WHO HAS FRIENDS!
