From the Colosseum came the ringing of clashing swords

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 🙂
