"Io credo che sia fantastico essere capaci di scrivere le proprie idee in forma musicale, ma credo anche che nella batteria il feeling sia molto più importante della mera tecnica, è fantastico suonare un triplo paradiddle… ma chi si accorge veramente che lo stai facendo? Se fai troppa attenzione alla tecnica, finisce che inizierai a suonare come ogni altro batterista. Credo che quello che conti veramente sia essere originale. Quando ascolto altri batteristi, mi piace poter dire "Wow… carina questa cosa, non l'avevo mai sentita prima!". Credo che essere te stesso come batterista sia molto più importante che suonare come chiunque altro".John Henry Bonham- Led Zeppelin's drummer
Playing my '68 semiacoustic bass!! At the moment i'm performing with MAX COSMICO & I SUOI ALIENI (psychedelic folk rock original songs + a couple of cover). I'm the background vocals of a soul band, too, named Pio Istituto de Sade.I like Italian red wine, Franziskaner beer,collecting sixties fornitures, fashion and music magazines, sixties crazy parties,music festivals, my job,interesting people who have something to teach me and some good memory to leave into my soul and...let me see..what else?!Well, as for the rest, YOU have to meet me first hand!
I'd like to meet:
Anyone who likes music, great if you are a musician as I am.

LA CALUNNIA E' L'AUTOBUS DEI FALLITI.E' sempre un segno di debolezza, non di forza. Si calunnia per rispondere ad una minaccia, reale ma più spesso presunta, contro la quale non si hanno altri mezzi da usare. .....i've found my own Jim....

Music:
Too deep to explain..I joined the Mod scene for over 15 years and I became an open minded Mod girl...(well, up to a point!).I like best music between '65 and '76, from freakbeat through northern soul, pop-sike ( MOVE, AMEN CORNER, MINDBENDERS ),acid/hard rock ( GRAND FUNK, BLUE CHEER,HUMBLE PIE, MOUNTAIN, STEPPENWOLF ) and glam rock ( RAINBOW, T-REX,SILVER HEAD ), Mersey beat ( HOLLIES !) and some Garage ( PAUL REVER AND THE RAIDERS, NAZZ ).Special mention: THREE DOG NIGHT! As regards mod sound: how can i forget my beloved SMALL FACES and SMOKE ?! But I have a folk attitude not to be forgotten: than PENTANGLE,BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD, NEIL YOUNG,CROSBY/STILLS/NASH,HOT TUNA . Crazy for prog-rock of YES, NICE, IRISH COFFEE,FUZZY DUCK . Deep in love with British Rock Blues such as FREE and CREAM , my faves, and of course BLIND FAITH,TEN YEARS AFTER . But, folks, hold tight: i was a gospel singer, so welcome to all spiritual and gospel tunes. Is this enough?!

CHINESE/JAPANESE PRODUCTIONS, old and new (Raise the red lanterne/Lanterne rosse, I sette samurai, Ring, Farewell my concubine/Addio mia concubina and much more). FRENCH MOVIES. SOME SCIENCE FICTIONS (Blade runner, Dune, Star Wars I, Fahreneit 451,the Fifth element). Eyes wide shut! Pulp fiction! Brasil!A beautiful mind!

Deeply in love with comics too: i started at the age of 8 with Quino (mafalda), Goscinny/Uderzo (asterix) and Peanuts. At the age of 12 i discovered Marvel Comics (Silver Surfer and Dare Devil), Hugo Pratt (corto maltese) but mostly the fantastic Tamburini/Liberatore (Ranx Xerox!! the best one) and Andrea Pazienza (Zanardi, one of the three reasons why i live in Bologna).
