as you can see the Kemper is always there granting huge sounds.........

mic

@ zappledan: thanks man, appeciate it!

@ guitarnet70: yes, it is a one man band, so to say. playing live in Italy is becoming a nightmare. the clubs budget is down to nothing. of course, having a band playing for me is the dream of a lifetime as a musician but since the repertoire is a really challenging one, there is no way I can find musicians without paying them what they deserve. so either I quitted playing live or I had to do something. that something was to have the band with a PC. the instruments (drum, keys and bass) are real but played with the pc. this way I can play everywhere, no matter what PA is there or how small/big is the club. If I can be a little more known to claim for a higher budget I will have my band at last..........

@ and44: wow man that is touching and gives me proud. but I share the same fan thing for your work as well. as a matter of fact I bring a little piece of your work with me all the time because my main sound is your plexi.

as for video, I have a 20 minutes documentary, so to say, which was taken while in tour and shows my life with the Kemper......will post this link as soon as possible.........

a hug to you all guys

definitely! as a matter of fact I have several musicians that would like to play in the thing. the problem is that there is no budget for them and I hate to have fine musicians and not be able to pay them. I think it is an horrible thing!

let's see if the new italian government will change things a bit for us musicians............doubt that, but hope is the last thing that must die

o c'mon, gianfranco, that was funny, wasn't it?

well, I got a gig booked the 8th of march and I will tell you if the new government has changed something for us musicians......................

let me dream, at least, ok?

yeah. I better prepare some songs suitable for the gentil sesso (the gentle gender)............one of my usual weapon is Never Alone by Jeff Beck which is a romantic song. I might be better off with that.........
