I played one of his chanters on the Bordunale-Meeting/Germany in 2000-or 2001.

Thank you for your interest in my website Lorenzo. It is not importand, but the last part of the translation given is, I beg your pardon, totaly wrong. It makes no sense. I think it is better to give a better translation, even this text is really unimportand. The meaning is only: "If you make y...
