Morning.
So good to have you with us again.
Thank you very much.
What do you enjoy most about performing live, to being on tour, to performing live? _ _
_ _ _ I think in America there is the most beautiful audience.
So for me it's a very big emotion to be on stage for them.
It doesn't matter what I sing, but the most important thing is to give emotion, to try to give emotion.
To try to give emotion.
Do you ever get nervous before you perform?
I am nervous before, while, and sometimes also after.
It depends on how well I sing or not.
Well, we've never not heard you sing anything but fantastic.
Among the things that people may not know about you is that your family has a vineyard in Italy?
_ Yes, in Tuscany.
I live in Tuscany, and in Tuscany there are many, many vineyards.
And also my father was a producer, and me and my brother, we try to continue this tradition.
Will there be a day when we can get a Baccelli wine in the United States?
I hope so.
Not now, because for now it's too few, and it's only for my family.
Also for many, many long periods during the year I can't drink, unfortunately.
_ If you're performing it's probably not such a good idea.
One of the other things that I know about you is back when you were a young man,
you used to play in bars, in taverns, in Pisa, right?
And sing and play the piano? _
It's very true.
During the period of the university, it was a good idea for me
in order to stop a little bit with the law and to stay with my friends
and to spend some [G] happy hours. _
It was a good thing.
It's a good thing for us too.
What are you going to play and sing for us this morning?
The song, I will give the [F] translation, [G] is like a soldier's love song, [N] right?
