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!
