I love that one, Susan. To my mind, that was a very inventive way to play that song. You have great control of every aspect of the playing.
Is that the push/pull you're playing?

Thanks, Bent, I'm glad you liked my rendition of this song. For this, recorded several years ago, I was using an MSA.

Stu, this song also reminds me of my childhood. I (am fortunately or unfortunately old enough to) remember the original Italian version, and I loved Dean Martin's version. There was a time when it was pretty difficult not to hear that song.

Jean-Michel, thank you very much. Is it a "European touch"? Qui sait? Je ne peux pas savoir. Donc . . . I believe it was on that trip to France (and to Brest) in 2006 that I think I finally found part of whatever it is that is my musical voice.

I'm glad you enjoy the music.
