everything will flow

On to Genova, Italy.

I see huge ships sitting in the port of the city.

Someone tells me there is a major naval base in Genova. Genova is also a major vacationing spot. The concert is to take place right in the middle of a park that is right in the middle of this resort. I find out that the concert will be on a man-made open-air stage in the middle of this park.

I begin to have bad feelings about all this.

Bingo.The audience was placed in an area that was really cut off from the stage, making any kind of dialogue between the musicians and the audience impossible. It was basically a no-win situation for all of us, but especially for the musicians.

After the show, my staff tells me that the audience was totally into my show.

They also told me about this 70-year old woman who kept yelling "Bravo"after every song.

This woman gave the show in Genova a whole new meaning.
