My cousin's husband is Stefano Battaglia, accomplished italian jazz pianist; I haven't met him so far, anyway...

"got to be worked on
don't have no bark nor bite..."

Where do you live?? In which country is he famous?

Hi Sir, that's interesting! But your uncle is NOT this "Swedish Bruce Springsteen" you told me about ????

I would name Ulf Lundell as the Swedish Bruce Springsteen, and when did I tell you about him

regards, the dear Sir.

My uncle was married to Elvis Costellos cousin. They broke up after a friend of mine f-cked her on the sofa at my apartment..

LOL, but still cool!

I live in Italy; he's quite famous among jazz lovers and musicians in Italy and also somewhere else in Europe, as far as I know...

aha

nice man!

To Sir: you ask me WHEN you told me about Ulf Lundell ????? Don't you remember you ran off the ferry from Helsinki to see his show in Stockholm ?? That was the night I had this long talk with Bernard Fowler outside the hotel. Do you remember now????

aha ok, that explains it then

Im Tony Bennett, and my song is danny bennett.

Im Tony Bennett,

My grandfather's uncle was a guy named Frank Desprez. You can google him and his work. He wrote short operetta's to be performed before Gilbert and Sullivan musicals. He was British and I understand his work is still performed regularly there. He also wrote Lascara, the state poem of Texas.

Funny side story...sorry Texans. Seems some Texas university prof as trying to undersatand why a Brit wrote what they thought was the diffinitive cowboy poem and why is strangly started with one line....was there more to the poem than Texan's knew? Yes, he and my grandfather had spent time in Texas as cowboys but hated it. The first few lines of the original poem started out something like...as I take off my goloshes and mac I think back to my time of being a cowboy with distain. Seems the rest was not what he liked about being a cowboy it was what he hated.

My grandfather's musical career on the other hand was cut off when he joined the Grenedere Guard marching band by going a-wall from the regular British army and spent two years hard labour for his efforts.
