I like the photo of Enrico Colussi: a portrait of a pigeon = that’s the point of view which a street guitarist like me often shares – pigeons often had been the only souls who noticed me, sitting there in a blue state of mind… background music: me, fingerpicking my acoustic guitar (it’s a tribute to Mark Knopfler’s “MARBLETOWN”)

once I wrote to Enrico Colussi: “I like to play blues guitar and sometimes I sat down on a street and played on my Dobro. Feeling blue I always noticed the pigeons – and I adored them, though walking, they could take their wings for a ride up up and away…”
