But for a lousy exchange rate....

While I was tooling around on the BBC website I saw a headline "Monk evangelizes heavy metal".

Huh?

Seems that there is this 62 year old Capuchin Monk named Brother Cesare Bonizzi. Fifteen years ago he went to a Metallica concert, and the sheer energy of the music shook him to the bottoms of his sandals. Here is a link to the BBC article. And for your dining and dancing pleasure,




The only distribution site I could find for the cd was in Italy (Italian Monk, Italian Band, duhhhh). It would cost me almost forty bucks to get the darn thing. The band is called Fratello Metallo (Metal Brothers). Brother Cesare's website is in Italian, (here is a link to it) but if you click around you will see the album cover. Clicking on it opens a box that will enable you to hear three songs on the cd. Good Stuff.

FYI- euro 11.5 for the cd and euro 12 for shipping to the US. Last I looked, the Euro was equal to USD (United States dollarettes) 1.60. Thank you, George!!!

I did create an account on the Italian distribution site, though. If I get a second stimulus check (yeah, Washington is making noises about that) then I'll pony up the cash.

On a totally unrelated point, in a few short weeks, I will no longer be a single person as my girlfriend and I are tying the knot. Will that be the end of the "Mid-Life Crisis" or will the crisis take on a new dimension? Only time will tell. Keep on Listening!



Peace be with you,
