Program note

« 7 A.M. I wake up, I cross my kitchen floor, I drink coffee and lemon juice, brush my teeth and blow my nose…
…What’s the Planet news ? they bankrupted the sky, the ozon layer fades, this town’s already dead, this country’s on the skids, I can’t feed my Kids…
(…these days steal everything, people steal your wallet, your watch, break into your car steal your radio suitcase, steal your life, your love…you…you gotta worry…)
…now wash my face, dress in my suit on time for going out, turn the doorlock key, go down hallway stairs, enter in the city, walk in the traffic, a rush of tires and car exaust on the street…
…delighted to be alive this cloudy Thursday..well…well…maybe today will be really a nice day, I’m almost sure… »
