The Palermo File - Sweet Beginnings - Part 3

Nope. Still not tired of living on an island where swimming in the sea is part of my daily routine. Don't be fooled though, because I do get some work done and I think The Palermo File is shaping up quite nicely already. I've finished up the writing of a few songs that I'm pretty sure I'll end up recording. It's really not that hard feeling inspired and energetic here (not even the extreme heat of this week can stop me :-)
Playing live here is also great and rewarding. I had a great time again at La Sirena Ubriaca and Piazza Mercato! All thanks to my new friend Angela, who's been getting me great gigs. Looking forward to more. :-)

The Palermo File - Sweet Beginnings (part 2)

Speaking Italian can be a struggle for me sometimes. But it being a struggle doesn't mean that I don't like it! In fact, I like the struggle so much that I've started writing a song in Italian. I intend to record it for The Palermo File. Anyway, I've started writing it today at Balestrate beach. One of the more beautiful and spacious beaches in the west of Sicilia.

Tomorrow I'll be taking a break from the writing and perform again at La Sirena Ubriaca in Marsala! Can't wait! In the picture you can see Angela, a really cool new friend who works there (no we're not naked in the pic, I know it seems we are, but really no, we're not) and turns out to be a fantastic agent....more about that soon.

Cheers!

'The Palermo File' - sweet beginnings (part1)

Okay. Here's the deal. I'm in a beautiful place; a lemon grove in the village Torre Archirafi in the eastpart of Sicily. It's very hot, it's very quiet and I'm starting to develop an obsession with the Etna volcano which I see smoking every day. Ashes are dropping into my morning coffee (they do, they really do). Do I feel happy? Yes! Very much so. But do I miss Palermo! It's a good feeling to have the city that I'm staying in since July and will be living in for a few more months feel like home. Even better to go back there tomorrow. :-)

I've been writing quite some songs, but I'm certainly up for more. As for gigs, I've got some coming up this month. Keep your eye on the agenda, 'cause exact locations and times will follow.

Bye for now!
