We starred everywhere Italy, regarding Grado to Barletta, out-of Turin so you can Palermo in just about any form of urban centers (theatres, discotheques, personal nightclubs, etc)
Compliment of a pal musician off Brescia, Romano Romanini, have been on Cantagiro inside 1969 and had read a song from this duo entitled Il tuo ritorno. In the summer from 1969 I was having fun with the new JB Club, a team out of Brescia, therefore accustomed use the brand new Garda Lake. Therefore we heard one tune, Il tuo ritorno of the Salis & Salis, and in addition we preferred they such that individuals setup they, together with Giorgio Cordini and Mauro Pagani (up coming people in JB Pub), also it was therefore nice it absolutely was an emergency having all of us, among simply three or four Italian music within collection.
As much as mid-Get we become a lengthy a number of shows
I simply starred musical by almost every other painters, particularly John Mayall, Subscribers, Jethro Tull, King Dark red, Moving Stones and Beatles, and some blues, once the Pagani is a wonderful harp member, and additionally a great violinist and you can flutist, and one of many musicians and artists in the Brescia it’s got long been considered as one of the better groups of every times. During the January 1970 JB Pub, upcoming in a really a great innovative months, is to relax and play during the Paradise Bar in Brescia (among the best nightclubs as much as, in which communities such as for example Il Balletto di Bronzo, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso and others will accustomed enjoy). In those times i always gamble three kits per night, while you are for the remainder of enough time people is actually dancing in order to info, Thursday night was indeed dedicated to jam lessons. Within the end of the month Salis & Salis stumbled on new Eden for a few evening, these were now a beneficial quartet with Francesco Salis for the guitar and you will sound (Gibson Les Paul and you may Vox Ac 29), Antonietto Salis towards trout and you can voice (he previously 
a great Hofner such as Paul McCartney), Nino Scalas to your keyboards (a double-bass guitar Ludwig) and a great mond body organ, the brand new mobile phone design. These people were very winning: with the very own music, they had a broad collection out-of Beatles’ songs, therefore seemed that genuine Beatles have been to try out her or him! Antonietto are wonderful because the guy used to enjoy and you can play just given that Paul McCartney, and you will Francesco met with the exact same guitar sound as George Harrison, they certainly were actual giants of great preference, method and you can stamina!
For the mid-March Salis & Salis contacted me personally from inside the Brescia inquiring basically wished to play together, as his or her organist Mariano was going to wed and you can return to Sardegna. The thing is I was not sure, since my ring which have Pagani and you may Cordini are taking place very well, however,. the fresh new temptation are solid, and considering the fact that Pagani are considering something else, We accepted. Salis & Salis had up coming gone close Crema because they was indeed seeking to part of from inside the category plus it are important so that they can stay on new “continent” as they regularly call the remainder of Italy, instead of during the Sardinia. Thus, adopting the latest series having JB Bar, during the mid-April 1970 We decided to go to Modena and you will come rehearsing which have Salis & Salis. It absolutely was a very rewarding feel to partner with Francesco and you can Antonio. Francesco specifically try a classy artist, precise, stylish, a bona fide Musician that have an investment A! We accustomed enjoy mostly discotheques, with one or two forty five minutes sets. of many a couple of times. It had been a work (the weight of my personal Hammond A 100 are 250 kilogram. And you can my personal Leslie is actually the latest heaviest design!). Nino Scalas, brand new drummer, stayed with our team till the prevent of your own summer 1970, i starred for two moths when you look at the Sardinia in which we were prominent for instance the Beatles, a rather incredible experience! But also Nino planned to marry, very throughout the trip I got to make contact with an effective drummer and therefore always explore all of us from inside the JB Bar off for you personally to date, Paolo Gerardini of Brescia. He previously a dual trout guitar Ludwig as well and you can is actually a drummer. The guy was included with you, discovered the music and now we kept touring.
