Musicians
Paul Simon
Paul Simon is a continuing source of inspiration, simply because his lyrics are wonderful, touching, honest...
After his success with Art Garfunkel he recorded some solo albums - "Graceland" and his new album "Surprise" are masterpieces.

Andy Timmons
Andy Timmons is my favourite electric guitar player. Unfortunately he started his career when screaming electric guitars came out of fashion, but his precision and feeling are just perfect.

Pedro Guerra
Pedro Guerra is a spanish tunesmith of first rank. I think he is best on his album "Tan cerca de mi".

Free Music Scores
E-Chords
E-Chords is a page full of chord charts that I found very useful, because there are no pop-ups, a search engine and the possibility to automatically transpose the songs in other keys.

Capella Marciana Venice
During my stay in Venice in 2012/2013 I sang with the Capella Marciana for a season.
