Melanina at the Barga Jazz Club
Back in July, we published an article about the Mr. Pitiful soul Band who had just played a blinding set in the piazza for the Festa delle Piazza ( you can read that article here) That evening somebody posted a comment on that page saying how much they had enjoyed that band and asking just who was the girl singer who joined them on stage for a couple of numbers towards the end of the set: "This Detroit-raised, Motown-bred Barga resident hasn’t heard better soul since he left the Motor City back in ‘65. Stupendo. Grazie ragazzi. E anche ragazza — chi e questa splendida Tiziana? Jul 20 2007 " - the answer to that question has been a kind of semi-secret for the last couple of years as she would often appear at the Mr.Pitiful gigs, sing a couple of sings and then melt back into the audience but tonight at the Barga Jazz Club all was revealed as finally she came out of the shadows and into the light with her own band - Melanina. Please welcome Tiziana Noccioli.
She was joined on stage by Matteo Pieri on guitar plus three members of Mr Pitiful; Fabio Pierotti - guitar, Fabrizio Leone on bass and Andrea Gianelli on drums. Another member of Mr Pitiful - Simon Venturi on keyboards joined in on one number as did Geoff from Jack's Pack with a thumping blues harp solo but the star of the evening, even taking into account some terrible mix on her vocals was Tiziana.

- everyone : you will be sorely missed.
- W. Shakespeare : Lear? Not at all! Those words are lifted from Macbeth's soliloquy:"....L ife's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
- Quentin Compson : Yes, Ma'am. It would be King Lear I believe, an allusion to the fool (and to Lear himself). But there is a more recent connection between Yokapatawpha and the Coldfields with a Biblical reference -- Absalom -- rather than the Shakespearean one to which you allude.
- poetry : Miss Coldfield, considered poetess laureate of Yoknapatawpha County, may simply be quoting Shakespeare, I do believe.
- Quentin Compson : Rosa: Stay in your own novel, please. You have no business in The Sound and the Fury, although I appear in both.
- Quentin Compson : Doggy, May I refer you to three sources on the Action-Theory dialectic? Albert Camus: "To do is to be." Jean-Paul Sartre: "To be is to do." Francis Albert Sinatra; "Do be do be doo." That should answer your question.
- Rosa Coldfield : ... it is a tale Told by and idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
- doggybag : Quentin - your constant focus on ideas over deeds makes you a highly unreliable commentator- quite often it is difficult to tell which of the actions you are suggesting are mere figments of your imagination and which you really do think should be acted upon.
- Quentin Compson : Hey, you two ought to get together sometime.
- Rosa Coldfield : Why of course : )
- Thomas Sutpen : Miss Rosa knows very well who will merely endure, and who will ultimately prevail
- Rosa Coldfield : It is not entirely clear, however, who has been sorest lately or with whom ; )
- Lord Beaconsfield : Welcom back, Barganews, you were sorely missed

- Guest_3522 : Re: Daily Images 26 July: Let us fervently hope that being "Italy's most Scottish town" doesn't bring more of this UK-style tagging and yobbish hooliganism to Barga. The vandals in question were two young men from Scotland. «link»
