I forgot to mention, as a nod to Mickey_Meatballs and other friends Down Under, that two songs I like to play are Australian:

"And When They Dance" by Roy Abbott (taught to me by a friend here in Brooklyn who learned it in Australia from Danny Spooner). There's an excellent live version on YouTube by the group Wongawilli - click here. Also a favorite is "Aussie Barbecue" by Eric Bogle (a really funny song - and, no, I don't play "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" because I wouldn't be able to get through the thing without crying).

Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
