Blues, rock and jazz instrumentals with eclectic influences ranging from the Beatles to Chet Atkins to Coltrane to soundtrack exotica
Genre: Classic rock & pop, guitar instrumentals, soundtrack exotica Hometown: Milan, Italy by way of Boston I'm a rock'n'roll singer-songwriter who also likes to dabble in soundtrack music, guitar instrumentals and the occassional bit of wierdness. I've been playing in bands pretty much non-stop since the early 1980s, though things have slowed down of late as I've got more into home studio recording and production. Currently I'm trying to find some chaps to get back out in the pubs with - just for fun and come what may. I've written a bit of music for Italian television ("Pulp Fiction" type guitar instrumentals) and in 2004 I had the good fortune to do a record with producer Scott Mathews called "Tough Love". Some of my main influences are the Stones, Elvis Costello, as well as plenty of blues and '60s garage rock. If it rocks, it rocks. Discography: Tough Love (2004, Donatello Soul Records) Donatello Soul (2008, internet release) Voxpopped (2009, internet release)

Story behind the song
This is a song that began as a (probably misguided) attempt to write a big fat rock ballad that (in my dreams....nightmares?) John Mayer or Dave Matthews would pay me millions to cover and ended up (also thanks to my wife's good ears and sense) in its current instrumentular soundtrackeque form....keeping A&R in the family kids.
