Hi guys, Giovanni here. Yesterday I got a phone call and after my.. ..'hello?'... a voice from the other line said... ..'Giovanni?...I'm Stewart Copeland, how are you?'... What a surprise and what a pleasure! He arrived in Milano on Friday and will leave soon to Rome to rehearse for the event on May 1st. Today we met at the studio where he is working on the new dvd recordings of LA NOTTE DELLA TARANTA, mixing and dubbing some tracks, great stuff, really, great stuff! Lydia and I sat at a table with Stewrt and after a cup of tea (he made it), we started talking and talking and talking! Apart from personal issues, some of the things we talked about were the Klark Kent video and audio recordings from the early days (I love that stuff), the Police dvd (it will be a must must must for every Police fan as he describes it!!!!), polo, tennis, Sting, Andy, pics, Sting book, the concert in Rome, the Orchestralli cd coming out, Oysterhead, the site and some more great issues. It was really a great time, I'll give you some insights soon; by now I can tell you that I asked him the permission to upload music and video to www.stewartcopeland.it and he gave the ok, or at least he said... ...'sure, you can do it, maybe this can give the people the chance to listen to my Derangements of the Police tracks, or see some videos, or maybe listen to the unreleased Jeff Beck sessions....' We discussed some other issues concerning the site (he keeps on reading the messages on the fan area) as I have decided to improve the graphic and make it a more professional site. I have a very close contact with a webmaster into Stewart (he lives close to my home) and this will give me the chance to work on it in a better way and directly; I got some offers from some of you about webmastering, and I still thank you so much, but due to 'technical problems' I couldn't get it. To build a new site will take some time but will be a real and professional site, that's what Stewart deserves. Anyway, a car crashed against the wall of my house today, and I spent part of the day with insurances papers and all that stuff, but the day ended in the best way ever! Yes, this is like winning the world cup for me.... Ciao ciao Giovanni http://www.stewartcopeland.it
