Steven’s grandfather, the musician Giovanni Tallarico
emigrated to the U.S.A. from Cotronei, province of Crotone, in Calabria
Many years after the fall of Rome
the Colosseum was picked apart for building materials
was even used as a garbage dump
will Rock – n- Roll ever quiet the horrors that took place there, no
thinking his grandfather would approve of the music over the clanging of swords
Rock and Rock won’t die
it’s been handed off from grandfather to Steve
now the 2 Cellos generation has that torch
I would have been on my best behavior while jamming out at the Colosseum
smelling of cherrywod with a slight hint of applewood
How does one pick a Cello to rock out on?
I have no idea
I picked up a juice harp
for my efforts
busted a tooth
then there was that Nun who slammed the key cover down on my hands
while saying you’re hopeless!
Can I go outside now Sister?
the piano is probably my favorite instrument
from a safe distance 🙂
