We starred all-over Italy, from Grado so you can Barletta, away from Turin to help you Palermo in just about any variety of urban centers (theatres, discotheques, individual clubs, etc)

Thanks to a pal singer off Brescia, Romano Romanini, who were on Cantagiro for the 1969 along with heard a song through this duo called Il tuo ritorno. In the summertime out-of 1969 I happened to be using the JB Club, a team of Brescia, therefore used to use the new Garda River. Therefore we read you to definitely tune, Il tuo ritorno of the Salis & Salis, and now we liked they a whole lot we setup it, plus Giorgio Cordini and you can Mauro Pagani (then people in JB Bar), and it are so sweet it absolutely was a survival to own united states, certainly only three or four Italian musical inside our arsenal.

Doing middle-Will get i already been a long group of programs

We simply starred tunes by the other music artists, such John Mayall, Traffic, Jethro Tull, Queen Crimson, Running Rocks and you will Beatles, and some organization, since the Pagani is a wonderful harp athlete, as well as a good violinist and you can flutist, and you can among painters when you look at the Brescia it offers for ages been experienced among the best sets of most of the minutes. Into the January 1970 JB Club, upcoming in a very a good creative period, are playing on Heaven Bar into the Brescia (one of the better clubs around, where communities like Il Balletto di Bronzo, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso and many more often always gamble). Then though we accustomed enjoy three set every night, when you are for the rest of the time anyone try dance so you can info, Thursday evening have been serious about jam training. Around the stop of the month Salis & Salis came to the new Heaven for a few evening, they were now a great quartet which have Francesco Salis datemyage to the drums and you can voice (Gibson Les Paul and Vox Air cooling 31), Antonietto Salis into bass and voice (he previously an excellent Hofner eg Paul McCartney), Nino Scalas for the electric guitar (a double-bass instrument Ludwig) and you can an excellent mond body organ, the new mobile phone model. These were very winning: the help of its very own tunes, that they had an extensive arsenal out-of Beatles’ sounds, and it also featured that the actual Beatles was indeed to play them! Antonietto was wonderful because the guy always play and sing precisely given that Paul McCartney, and you can Francesco met with the exact same drums voice because the George Harrison, they certainly were genuine giants of great preference, method and you can electricity!

In the mid-February Salis & Salis contacted me personally into the Brescia inquiring if i wanted to play with them, as their organist Mariano would wed and you will come back so you can Sardegna. To be honest I happened to be not so sure, as the my band which have Pagani and you may Cordini is actually happening very well, however,. new temptation is good, and you will considering the fact that Pagani is actually contemplating something else entirely, We acknowledged. Salis & Salis got up coming gone close Crema because they had been trying to step in in the group plus it is standard so they can stay on the “continent” as they always name the rest of Italy, in the place of within the Sardinia. Thus, after the latest series that have JB Bar, in the middle-April 1970 We went to Modena and you can come rehearsing which have Salis & Salis. It actually was an extremely fulfilling feel to utilize Francesco and you will Antonio. Francesco in particular is an elegant musician, perfect, want, a real Artist having a funds A good! I regularly enjoy mostly discotheques, with a couple of 45 minutes set. of numerous a couple of times. It had been a dedication (the weight out-of my personal Hammond A hundred try 250 kilogram. And my personal Leslie is this new heaviest design!). Nino Scalas, the brand new drummer, existed with our company through to the stop of your own june 1970, i played for 2 moths from inside the Sardinia where we had been preferred such as the Beatles, a very unbelievable feel! However, even Nino wanted to get married, very in the fall I got to get hold of good drummer and therefore familiar with fool around with us within the JB Bar away from time for you to time, Paolo Gerardini regarding Brescia. He previously a twin trout guitar Ludwig too and is actually a drummer. The guy was included with united states, learned the songs so we remaining touring.
