Then, there are two bands of very close friends of mine I'd like to mention: because they make original music , and because they make it ...so good.
Livida ( italian grunge) and Markonee ( hard rock).
I spent many hours with them, and I shared so much life.
I played in Ivan's Wonderwood and in MArk1 "saletta" so much... Thank you for being part of my story, and of my music.
Last, but absolutely not least, I'd like to thank Mauro, known as " Nats"...he's my guitarist in Reason to Kiss and a special friend. He and his wife have comforted me so many times, I cant' tell...neither can their sofa... :-)))
He always listens to my deliria and he almost forced me to start to sing again when I had no envy anymore...I owe to him, and to Devis ( Livida singer) my new life in music...
I won't forget this.
Neither will my music...neither will my heart.
God bless you.
