In the last summer I've been touring Italy, and have met some great pickers and friends: beyond my italian friends Franco Morone, Beppe Gambetta, Daniele Bazzani, Reno Brandoni, Giorgio Cordini, Walter Lupi, I've had the gret pleasure of meeting Don Ross, Peter Finger and Stefan Grossman. I had'nt seen Stefan since 20 years, and it was like meeting an older brother. He dedicated his first arrangement for a beatles' tune, "While My Guitar Gently Wheeps", played in his only italian concert, in september, "To my old friend Giovanni Pelosi". Thank you Stefan.
