A flying visit by Silvano Togneri to Aristo's bar in Barga Vecchia, left no doubts as to where he was on the music road; full steam ahead and pedal to the floor. Although not seen in public since his last appearance at the Christmas Concert 2000 at Chiappa the barbers, he soon had people tapping their feet along with his shuffling beat.

 

 

This afternoon he showed that although comfortable with the keyboards, he can also cut a mean riff on the guitar.

Regulars to the bar were treated to a couple of his old standards (including a ripping version of "My Way") and of course the now traditional encore of "Yuppy Du"

 

 

Then in a space of 20 minutes, it was all over. Off he sped in his Ape and calm once more returned to Barga Vecchia.

Well done Silvano! In your heart you are a musician. It shines out. Keep on pumping!
