Sweet notes


Today I want to share with you something that has a very important place in my live - and I hope also in the life of many other people - the music. As far as I remember it was always close to me, giving me the reason for joy and alleviate my sorrows. But let me explain how did music enter in my life. I think it is a bit a merit of my parents and my aunts. My father and his sisters were playing piano during their childhood. My father plays keyboard every day and sometimes he plays the guitar, too. My mother used to play accordion when she was attending school (even though I don’t share her musician taste at all, but I adore accordion). My brother used to played guitar. Unfortunately I don’t play any instrument and I’am only a listener.

I remember when I was a child I used to play board game with my brother always  with the background of some tunes from the cassette tapes (my favourite tunes was those of Paul Anka). During the adolescence I passed a lot of time listening my vinyl records, I still have a collection of about 200 ones. I’am a lucky owner of original records of Stevie Wonder and the Beatles (“Sargent Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band”). The songs of these records are “the best food” for the soul
It was a time when music was not so accessible as it is now days, it was no internet. Every Saturday everybody could listen the playlist on third channel of Polish Radio "Lista przebojów Trójki" which was conducting by an Marek Niedźwiecki. Every Friday evening I was waiting impatiently for the play list to hear  new rock- and pop-hits.( One of my friends was keen about the alto voice of Niedźwiecki and both of us like his sens of humor.)

That was in the past. Now is still the same, there is no day for me without the music. It is not possible enumerate every name of singers, tunes, pieces I listen. The range of my musical interests is a quite vast one. Sometimes I need to hear the song and then I concentrated on the tune and think about the text at the same time.  My choice depend of my mood -it might be Italian song (by Zucchero or Ligabue), American (by Barbara Streisand,  or Frank Sinatra) or Polish one (Grzegorz Turnau, Krystyna Prońko). Sometimes I search for something that lift my spirit so I curate Barok.
I don’t mind jazz and blues music and recently I listen to Diana Krall, Ricardo Galliano, Stacy Kent.

In the end I'd like you to click here below. Enjoy the music and buona domenica to everybody.

Not proper for Christmas, but advisable for distraction

Even though now is a moment favourable for rather light matters I’d like to share with you my interest for cinema of rather tough genre. Generally I prefer European movies but if I was asked to choose the American movies that impressed me the most I would choose:   Donnie Brasco,  Scarface Goodfellas, God Father . All titles mentioned before are linked by some features they treat: the   problem of mafia in USA, the stereotype of Italian family dedicated men, the playing of actors with Italian roots like: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Joe Pesci. I have seen all these cinematographic masterpieces several times and they always get me involved. The problem of the mafia never gets older and what is terrifying, the mechanism of how it works is indestructible.   We can observe a model civils that takes wrong path and the cruelty of mafiosos. What astonish the most, is that personalities of the main protagonists, merge a violence against their victim with a tenderness and lim

The rythym in caos

Tricolori , simbolo dell’Italia is sharing two of three colours with Polish flag. What else do we share with Italian? How do we differ? I’d like to show it on the examples of the traditional cuisine, food, eating habits. Morning When I wake-up in the morning one of the first think I do is to prepare caffetiera . I love waiting my coffee and listening the sound when it’s coming out, making characteristic a sound, it seems to saying me : Have a good day!. Traditional Italian coffee makes by moka or express is one of the most delightful things that exist (a bit of exaggeration, yes, but it is truth). In Italy coffee is basic for the breakfast, Italians take it with few biscuits or croissants, while   Poles do it during after- lunchtime hours. Noon In Italy all over the country between 12 and 15 there is an obligatory   break for lunch. The streets became empty, restaurants crowded, Italians are dedicating themselves to the second national religion, the kitchen. In Poland some

Walk

Walking is an activity I would recommend to everybody, to those who usually do sports which demand a lot of effort as well as to couch potatoes. When you stroll,   not only do excercise your body but you also activate your mind. As time allows, it is advisable to go out and observe the seasons changing, to perceive the scent of air and vagetation, to look the colours surrounding you. You are always free to choose wether you need  company, for your promenade. There are many of us who would choose walk a dog. Most  dogs do wanny walk by your side, but they tend to lead you. My dog, which was also my friend, was an exception. She used to follow me and at the same time bouncebl  kind of ball. This amusing image makes me smile when I amble these days. To benefit of a pleasant promenade it’s good to have a companion. Neverthelss, with or without your a dog, now is a time to leave the couch, skip the gym and feel the autumn atmosphere outdoors.
