I had posted this n the General Arranger page, but since I play a kn6000, I should post it here as well:
Some of you may remember that my wife Lydia and I spent 17 glorious days in Italy earlier this year … The second night of our trip we were so fortunate to meet and have dinner with Dreamer (Andrea Rotolo) During dinner, a strolling guitar player/vocalist came by and Andrea asked for a song “Roma, Non Fa La Stupida Sta Sera” (Rome, please don’t be silly tonight) … I immediately fell in love with the song and asked every musician I saw performing in Italy to play it … They ALL knew the song …
When we returned home I e-mailed Andrea and asked where I might be able to get a copy of the music … a day or so later, I get an e-mail response with a copy of the sheet music attached …
The song is about a young man who is going on a date with the woman of his dreams … He wants everything to be perfect and asks Rome not to be stupid that night, and to help in his quest …
Andrea gave me a literal translation, and I took the liberty of writing an English lyric, trying to stick as close as possible to the original story line …
I have been fooling around with the song for some time, learning the Italian lyrics as well, and just about when I thought I was ready to record it I had trouble with ACID … I am now in ‘record mode’ again, and even though I am not pleased enough to call this the final product, (I hear ‘clipping’ in the song, and it may be a little 'pitchy') I thought I would put it out there for you to hear and comment on.
It is an mp3 and it’s 9.6MB.
So, in the spirit of Columbus Day weekend, here it is: http://www.yousendit.com/download/eGvDQXpvYZc%3D
The next link is to a photo of the three of us …. Andrea is the GOOD looking guy : http://www.yousendit.com/download/eGtMtegjYZc%3D
