The Music
The CD that accompanies this story consists of 8 music tracks which I composed during the process of writing this book and a poem written and spoken in the Filicudare dialect.
The genius, arranging and gifted musicality of Clive Lendich were second to none in helping me to breathe extraordinarily beautiful life into the tracks.
I also hope that you will derive great pleasure from the poetry (for which there is a translation in the book).
May those who listen find a place that is not only close to my heart but a place that also finds its way into your own.
The tracks were written simply because they found their way to me from whatever place in one’s heart all music and poetry ever written comes. I could almost hear the music as I wrote the book, and decided I would try to capture it for readers’ added enjoyment and to add further depth and colour to the story that otherwise only a movie could begin to capture.
