Mi chiamo Louis e oggi suonerò per l'ultima volta alla casa del jazz di New Orleans,mi hanno detto che la mia musica non è all’altezza del locale e quindi mi hanno dato il benservito.
Questa gente non la capirò mai, prima mi hanno detto di aggiungere qualcosa alla mia musica ,per renderla unica nel suo genere e poi mi scaricano cosi.
Io però sono contento di aver seguito il loro consiglio ,l’aver aggiunto quel particolare ai miei brani me li fa sentire veramente unici,sono un italo-americano i miei genitori sono siciliani, come non potevo aggiungere qualcosa che portasse il calore della mia terra d’origine.
Ma adesso non devo perdere molto tempo,devo preparare la serata cercherò di renderla indimenticabile, dopo oggi tutti si ricorderanno di louis e la New Orleans Gang poi vedremo che si farà,non posso farmi vedere sad kids need me, the evening will be a sucessone!
Mike pianist of the band comes up and asks me with that track's start the evening, I think a bit 'usually start with "just a gigolo" but this time I want to start with a new song and then tell him "Mike will not be today our order today will open a new chapter , we start with Angelina and then continue with Sing, Sing "Mike smiles at me and says" we take them to heaven tonight! "
Angelina wrote 4 months ago, when I met the woman who then became my second wife, I remember very well, she was there to sip his drink by the bar, its simple smile gave me the chills after the concert I went meeting, I went and told her that her smile had me distracted and therefore should be forgiven for allowing me a 'appointment.
We started seeing each other almost every day, I'm not a guy who has a lot of patience and just a month after I asked her to marry me, she smiled and take time, I said that I should write a song and maybe later I could say yes.
wasted no time, I took only two days, I put down the text and the boys began to feel the song, after a month I invited Angelina to one of our tests and they made him listen to the song I'd written for her, then course le rifeci la proposta e stavolta lei disse di si.
Non ho mai cantato questa canzone in pubblico ,quindi oggi sarà il suo debutto e Angelina come al solito sarà seduta al bancone a farmi venire i brividi.
Mike mi fa notare che è ora e che dobbiamo salire sul palco,tutto è pronto e inizia la nostra performance in questo locale storico di New Orleans ,un giorno ci ritornerò da jazzista affermato e tutti faranno la fila per potermi ascoltare,ora però so solo che sarà la fine.
Tony parte con la batteria ed io inizio a cantare,mike al pianoforte ammicca alla ragazza che vende le sigarette come solo lui sa fare, e io canto con i brividi guardando il bancone del bar.
"I love you I adore you
Angelina
E vol-ment be-ne Angelina I live for you
And a pas-sio-ne
You Have Set My Heart On Fire
But Angelina
Never listens to my song "
The audience starts clapping, and a couple in the second row starts to dance, we tell her loads flying on instruments, the music is oil slips in the air everything is perfect and I continue to sing
'There is the Half Moon' o mare Mamma mia
m'ho maritari
Daughter to cu t 'I think you give
Mamma mia "
For us it is the last night but as if it were the beginning and not the end, something inside me tells me to exaggerate and leave everyone speechless, I get off the stage with the trumpet and start playing sitting on the tables of customers, the owner looks at me wrong, but I do not care now you do it my way.
Arrival at the bar where I conclude the piece and say anything without taking breaks or do a long kiss on my Angelina, she gives me a pat on the face, I drink a glass that was on the counter and go back on stage and continuously concert.
The evening will conclude around 23:30 , We are exhausted we played for two 2 ½ hours in a row without a break, I'm coming down from the stage when I see a person walking towards me, gives me his business card and tells me "A New York would like to make music, then you can just call me "
I put the ticket in his pocket and without saying anything go to the bar, tonight is just music, there is now only Angelina.
