R.I.P....The farewell messages from the great prog peer artists just made me be realize how great Mr Giacomo was. Japan is expecting B.M.S. coupled by La Maschera di Cera/Hostsonaten in mid April. Those who bought the tickets are waiting for the official announcement from the organization. I still cannot believe this sad news. As fans, we fully respect the band's decision...pray for the soul of Mr Giacomo, his family and friends, and the B.M.S. Grazie e ciao! 

I don't know.

I think I would do a complete concert without a singer and at the end, say a prayer and good night. I would probably have so many tears my guitar would spark, or my keyboard would stop playing, but in his honor, God be damned that a keyboard or instrument didn't work on such a day!

There is an album or two by Banco that the music is instrumental, so the band itself was also strong, but I don't know if Francesco was a part of those or not, and I imagine that he was, in helping add mood, and atmosphere, which always seemed well defined in his singing and the albums.

Even in Santa Barbara, some folks made fun of Francesco's singing, and called that stupid rock'n'roll, so at least you know!
