"This is a poem that I wrote inspired by the music of my good friend Tullio Pizzorno.
Music is the universal language, and though many times we may not understand other languages, it is the music that the artist/musician/composer presents that speak to us, to our hearts, to our souls.
My friend Tullio besides being a great artist/musician/composer he is a storyteller.
Listen closely to his music as he speaks to you through every note. Please enjoy!
This poem was written about what you will feel. Enjoy........" Keahi
