    Cheers Pino,I’m happy to see that you are not afraid to mention Norman Watt-Roy as a musical influence.All the Blockheads are extremely underrated musicians.
    You have a wonderful ability to take risks {when available} in your playing,yet always making it feel and sound simple to the ear.
    Stay Strong ! Stay Green ! stay musical…
