THE CREDIT CRUNCH: What the "duck" ? how many times we heard this "shell" of a word in the last 10/8 months ? Too many ... but I never heard of a true and genuine confession. Personally I think there are three reasons: 1) banks 2) contractors 3) politicians N. 1 gave money to everybody to buy the houses, 80% of which now are going to be repossessed. N. 2 build every inch of land possible to sell everything they could to those who borrowed the money N. 3 allowed this as it was very profitable weather for the tax office or (in the worse cases ... I happen to live in Italy) their personal pockets. Now it is tragic to see that N. 2 will buy (in most cases) the houses at the auctions, N. 1 will get most of the money back and N. 3 will benefit (again) from the judiciary taxes on the repossession procedures. How funny .... guess who will keep loosing money ? Luckily we can still do music ..... let's do it crunchy, shall we ? and stick it up their bums Just a few words after a repossession trial this morning, where I suddenly realized that .... CHEERS

BLUES WILL NEVER DIE OR PROBABLY WAS NEVER BORN. The blues flows with the nature and stays within the nature. Just happened it has been picked up by men plucking on the guitar or singing it out loud. Or - in my case drumming it out. Someone told me that when the wind blows its pitches are just the ones included in the penthatonic minor scale. Nothing more, nothing less. This made me understand why everybody likes at least one blues tune. Blues is truth, blues is lie, blues is black and blues is white, blues is everything blues is nothing ... blues is as wide as the nature can be.
