About Me

THE MUSIC IN THIS PROFILE IS ROUGH HOME PRODUCED
In an official hypothetic album the songs can have
different arrangements and titles.

On listening my music, please follow these three easy rules:
1. Don't listen the music on bright light, expecially sunlight.
2. You must not drink water on listening.
3. Most importantly, don't eat while listening my music after midnight!

THE STORY
Glen was born in Milan (Italy) between the end of the World War II and the beginning of Rocky IV.
At the age of eleven he saw Woodstock (the movie) for the first time.
At the age of eleven and a half he fell in love for Alvin Lee.
When eleven and three quarters he learned Deep Purple's Smoke On The Water using only the 6th string in E, and after a week Ten Years After's Love Like A Man using two strings on the guitar of a friend. Then he had one year of meditation, during that period he asked his father for a guitar 16 times a day, for a total of 5840 times. So Glen got his first guitar at the age of 12 and three quarters.
At the age of 13 and 5 months he kissed a girl for the first time using the tongue.
At the age of 13, 5 months and 1 minute, Glen forgot Alvin Lee, Smoke On The Water, Love Like A Man (the song), and the guitar,
to dedicate his life to kiss girls.
On summer of '92 he kissed Elen, they got married in September '93
during a rainy day.
It does'nt exist a documentation about the period between the first tongue kiss and the kiss to Elen, but history says Glen had a lot of fun.

THE LEGEND
On august 2000 Glen had a dream after having smoked some vegetables.
He was lost in a foggy dark forest, suddenly a sunray penetrate the deep vegetation to end on a rock with a Stratocaster hammered in. There was a legend in the legend about that matter: the one who could pull the guitar out from the rock should become a rockstar! So our hero slowly moved to the rock, grasped the Strat neck (a 50's V shape) and pull out the guitar! Then he heard a voice "Wake up darling, breakfast is ready!".
In that moment Glen decided to become a rockstar.

PRESENT DAYS
Glen is a guitar and gnocca player. He lives in Milan (Italy)
and plays with a band named Zizzetope .
In March 2006 he issued his first solo home produced album Six String Under (no longer available), guesting some e-friends from various Italian guitar forums and sites.
He likes gnocca, nutella and bananas, like a Borneo orango.
He is not yet a rockstar, but he will be soon ;-)
