Hi The Taint
We wanna thank you for your very important support
in those sad days.

This thanx are in our name, in the name of Enrico's wife Paola and in the name of his sons.

Enrico Micheletti's ashes are flyin' throughout the universe
and we hope his soul is finally arrived at a beautiful destination.

What about his music and the music we had recorded toghether?

We finally decide to get it out.
We wanna remeber Enrico in this way.
In the first quarter of 2009 we will publish all our and Enrico Micheletti' s materials on Itunes and many other stores on the web.

We'll send you a message when it's all ready.

God bless you!!!
Have a wonderful 2009!!!

KEEP THE BLUES ALIVEEEE!!!!!!!



Ciao The Taint ti volevamo ringraziare per le tue parole e per il tuo sostegno in periodo così difficile per noi.

Questi ringraziamenti non sono formali, sono veramente sinceri a nome nostro, della moglie di Enrico Paola e a nome dei suoi figli.

Le ceneri di Enrico Micheletti sono disperse nel mar Tirreno e stanno viaggiando nell' universo. Noi speriamo che anche la sua anima abbia raggiunto finalmente il miglior approdo possibile.

Cosa fare del suo materiale in nostro possesso e del materiale che abbiamo registrato insieme?

Dopo aver pensato a lungo sul da farsi abbiamo deciso di pubblicarlo.
Lo pubblicheremo su Itunes ed altri siti così tutti potranno trovarlo se lo cercano.
Glielo dobbiamo. Glielo deve chi lo ha conosciuto.

Cercheremo di pubblicare tutto ciò che è in nostro possesso nei primi mesi del 2009.

Appena sarà tutto pronto ti faremo sapere.

Felice Anno Nuovo.
Dio ti benedica ancora, grazie.
