Yesterday I had the honour of playing (for the second time) in the prison of Santa Maria Maggiore in Venice with my Venetian friends musicians. I leave out the conflicting emotions I had because I want to drop a line. Many young people who have listened to the concert have been very polite and kind. Time doesn’t fly inside there! But they are prisoners because they have committed something, so I don’t want to say nonsense! During the concert we’ve tried to do our best despite installation problems (my amplifier was not working because we embarked too water inside the boat ) and a very bad acoustics. We also tried to say that out of prison is possible to play with friends and enjoy all together. At the end they warmly shook hands with us and thanked us. When they’ll be out there they’ll probably go back to what they was before… there’s little hope today. I think that the city of Venice did allow that people to see the light of day with this series of concerts.
