Estate 2008 - August 15, 2008
This summer also took me to Middlebury, Vermont where I spent the month of July as an Artist-in-Residence at the Italian Languge School. It was an honor to meet and work with the students and professors of Italian School. They are the brightest, the best and the most enthusiastic scholars of the Italian Language.
Estate 2008 - August 15, 2008
This summer began with a visit to friends in Sicily. As always, wonderful things happen in Sicily, but this year was even more special. I had the delight of meeting Ninu DiMaiu - probably the world's greatest lover of Sicilian Roots Music. Ninu documents, records, disperses and promotes Sicilian music with all his heart and soul.
On a visit to the home of the great sculptors, Ute Pyka and Umberto Leone, Ninu filmed, photographed and interviewed Umberto and myself as we jammed and sang the music of Pino Veneziano.
Grazie, Ninu, sei un tesoro!
