Today i was searching for my guitar records, and stomped into Chatka, by Riccardo Zappa. I donīt think that this musician is recognized outside Italy, and that's a shame, 'couse is a talentend guitarist and the A side of this particular album is proggy, in my opinion. The concrete question: Has Riccardo Zappa continued his musical career?

Since around 1983 Zappa has started a collaboration with former http://www.italianprog.com/a_alpha.htm - Alphataurus keyboardist Pietro Pellegrini, and has recorded in his own studio much of his production.

None of the Riccardo Zappa solo albums is particularly rare, while his first album with Klaus Aulehla is more difficult to locate.

No foreign issues or counterfeits exist.

Riccardo Zappa has his own website at http://www.riccardozappa.it/ - http://www.riccardozappa.it/

Hello Mirco,

You're right, Andrea. I'm an "oriundo", my family came to Venezuela in the fifties, and I attended to italian school (le elementari). But mi italian speaking nowadays is rusty, lack of practice.

Hi Mirco , long time no read! Some of us (well me anyway) where wondering what was happening with you? Is everything well with you!

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Grappa Nardini, I suppose (maybe also Poli or Bassanina...).

It's going to rain, now, what's the weather like there in Venezuela?
