Outkaster Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Growing up I used to hear this at Italian weddings and celebrations in Niagara Falls or Buffalo, NY. I never noticed the organ in it. Presently a guy know has an Italian radio show locally that uses this to introduce his show La Dolce Vita: [video:youtube] "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

marino Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 "Guaglione" is an Italian melodic superclassic of the Fifties. I've played it with Renato Carosone, with whom I worked briefly in the early Nineties. Not my cup of tea at all, but you always learn something from the old masters.

LOL I haven't heard that name in awhile. I think he died in 2001: [video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6O0lo11jTE "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

marino Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 LOL I haven't heard that name in awhile. I think he died in 2001: Yes. Despite the fact that his success came from writing and singing old-fashioned pop/swing songs, Carosone was an accomplished musician and a great pianist. Once he played his arrangement of Listz' "La Campanella" during a reharsal break... he left everybody speechless. EDIT: Note that I'm *not* talking about the very watered-down version that you can find on YouTube. That was a complex piano solo version, played at breakneck speed.

Marino a lot of Italian musicians are very good. There are kind of freaks of a nature out there that can perform a multiple of genres. He must of been a lot older when you were working with him I would think. "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

Well, thanks... even though I wouln't call a musician who's proficient in many genres a "freak of nature"... I myself would be quite a freak then. It's mostly hard work of course. There's a famous Italian pop song which goes like this: La mia banda suona il rock e cambia faccia all'occorrenza Sappiamo che da noi fare tutto è un'esigenza My band plays rock and changes faces if need be We know that here doing everything is a necessity... He must of been a lot older when you were working with him I would think. Yeah, about 75 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outkaster Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 "freak of nature" is just something we use around here. It is hard work but only so many people can be going from certain styles effortlessly. "Danny, ci manchi a tutti. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

Can't for the life of me remember which one though...it's stuck in one of the deep dark corners of my mind and won't come out! Nooooooo!!!!!!!
