Balvenie Doublewood is my current and long-time fave.
And, sacreligious as it may seem, my signature drink is said Balvenie plus Frangelico....

For anybody in or near Italy who wants to pay their respects in person - this from Alessandro Papotto.
The opening means:
"I expect you for a toast"
Francesco Di Giacomo.
...
I believe that was the opening of ... di Terra.

quite possibly the greatest classical/prog orchestral piece ...
... and yes, seeing Banco and Francesco at ProgFest 2000 did blow me away - still there was something *electric* in that first performance at NEARfest 2001. it felt like we were all in a wave and we...

one of the great regrets of my life is that I didn't fucking GO to that concert.
my mouse cursor was hovering over the...
Francesco di Giacomo. (had.) :(
a wonderful duet of Francesco and Aldo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i34J6PbRyHc
la vita è fragile ... life is fragile ...
I also just played on cello: opening of di Terra, and melody of 750,000 anni fa ... l'amore?
not that I can do it justice ...
I just played RIP in the car, crying. :(
R.I.P lyrics
Cavalli corpi e lance rotte
si tingono di rosso,
lamenti di persone che muoiono da sole
senza un Cristo che sia là.
Pupille enormi volte al sole
la polvere e la sete
l'affanno...
nooooooooo!!!!

first listen/watch: Klaus Schulze with Lisa Gerrard!
Rated: OMG! :O
I wouldn't be surprised - or disappointed - if this is the *best* thing I got from Ken.
occurred to me: Schulze is the...
