Come prima...

Music

"Come prima"

Now try to jump back in time... in 1959, to be exact.

A small room in a flat, full with musical instrumets: a piano, a set of drums, a semi-professional tape-recorder, a giant microphone (it looked so to an 8 year old!)

The ask me: "Something you would like to sing?"

The two songs that come to my mind are "Come Prima" e "Io" (originally sung by Domenico Modugno - he wrote "Volare"). Probably the only two songs I knew the words of...

The tape recorder starts off, and here I go! With my
tiny voice...

The 'production' took place in a studio with windows facing the Arno river: the tape recorder was connected to a strange looking record player, with a huge head and a stainless steel needle: I was fascinated staring at that needle scratching the surface of the disc. Minutes later.. my first record was ready!!
