I felt like I knew him. Maybe I had met him at a political rally. Maybe at a live show. Perhaps I simply liked that man stroking his beard because he reminded me of the people on the island of Naxos. Sigá sigá, like the fishermen at the port on a scorching hot day. Sigá sigá, before taking the first note on the piano. Sigá sigá, before thinking of singing the first word. The young people dressed in white observe him, waiting for a first hint. A single movement from the beard to the piano key and the small orchestra starts to play. <…E tutto è stato un regalo, e tutto è stato un regalo…>, the man’s voice is that of an experienced sea dog. Sonic wave after sonic wave he shows to the white-clad crew the land of gratitude that stands on the horizon. There’s still time to sail and sing before landing. The sea whispers new melodies to be sung and played…
