One of these…
Once again, passing by a television set, I happened to notice the soundtrack of an advertisement of an Italian pay-per-view channel: it was One of these things first, tentatively used as a love song (I suppose it was just all about the piano). I wondered how who chose it met Nick’s music.
The sweet suggestions of the pink moon
I’ve finally found the time to write down a few notes on this book (and the CD that is shipped with it). Luca Ferrari wrote this book many years ago: there is no doubt that he is a very good fellow but nowadays I’d suggest buying his book only if you already have a deep [...]
They did it again

Growing old
In “Black Eyed Dog”, Nick Drake sang I’m growing old and I wanna go home I suppose that you might think you are growing old when you have no more déjà vu but a well known daily routine the man in the mirror looks more rather frazzled than you you wear an unknown number of [...]
