🎼Happy Birthday to this guy, who today celebrates 59! πŸ˜ƒπŸ€ŸπŸΎ Born John Francis Bongiovi Jr. on March 2, 1962 in a small town in New Jersey, he has (of course πŸ˜‰) Italian origins, his grandparents emigrated in the US from Sciacca, a beautiful seaside 🌊 town in #Sicily. It's very difficult for me to choose a Jon Bon Jovi song among the many I like, so I leave it up to you to share your favorites... I will post here in the Comments Chat 2 of his first solo songs, early 80's when #BonJovi band didn't exist and John was working in his uncle Tony Bongiovi's recording studio... maybe a good gift for the ladies on this Channel too? πŸ€”πŸ˜...
#JonBonJovi #2March
🎼A couple of days ago I was contacted by Pietro SpanΓ², a pianist, singer and songwriter from Palermo, Sicily. He sent me one of his songs which I immediately loved ❀️. So I thought to share it with you πŸ˜ƒπŸŽΆ
For Italian listeners Pietro's musical influences are quite clear but this is not the point. He has a great style in my opinion and the song is catchy and at the same time delicate. And his lyrics are those that make you close your eyes and think of #Sicily and in general #Italy essence ! He's basically saying: I don't want to go back in centuries, I just want to live my time slowly as it has always been, when error was considered a possibility and tolerated as a parenthesis in human life because a product of Human Intelligence, not today's Artificial Intelligence... πŸ‘ Hope you enjoy it as I did πŸ˜ƒ

and that's where the body of the Saint lies (transported from her hometown Siracusa, #Sicily in 1204 AD), in Santa Lucia Sanctuaryβ˜οΈπŸ“Έ
near Venice train station πŸš† That is why it's named after the saint... I guess many of you remember arriving there πŸ˜ƒ

🎷#3May 1955.
Happy 70th birthday to #TimCappello, born in New York of #Sicily origins.
He became a legend in 1987 (at least for us who went to the cinema) for his oiled up bare chest performace in the cult vampire πŸ§›β€β™‚ comedy horror The Lost Boys.
After that he became #TinaTurner live saxophonist and sexy stage partner 😁
