Why the double bass?! ("with turban" per"turbing" woman): Why Ingres (neoclassical painter) did paint La Grande Baigneuse? He depicts a woman, who just had a bath, backwards seated and slightly three-quarter turned towards the spectator (pretending not to see you, but right looking at you) and Magritte retrieving this image and adding the "f" of the violin.. and continuing with "Violin and Guitar" by Picasso, "The Musician" by Chagall and many others that I really do not want to call "insane", on the contrary, painters of life, emotions, sensuality and not.. as for example "L'Estasi di S. Teresa" by Bernini, so permeated by sensuality too, totally giving itself abandoning in God's grace.

All good Music, without genre and label distinction (on my opinion).. there is good and bad music apart from genre..

Grazie mille, e scusa la risposta tardiva, ma passo raramente a vedere my space. La musica è e rimane sempre un piacere ed un amore, oltre che un lavoro, e sarà per questo che ho la fortuna di incontrare bei progetti che mi sono congeniali.
