Sojourner - Traveling with the “Canman”

Met my amico Roberto who is performing around the streets around Lago Garda. He introduced me to his colleague Valter, who can play a guitar like a violin, harp, and bass. Such talent. Valter recently played at La Scala with Lady Gaga! It's not always an easy life, but they are following their bliss. I was privileged to play with with Roberto and even sang a duet (County Road) No euros went in the guitar case though. Note to self, don't quit day job.   https://photos.app.goo.gl/gvjYkWDSYuSdJYWNA

To escape the record heat in Europe, drove up to Switzerland, intending to get familiarity with hiking Aletsch glacier for next time-a 14 mile long frozen river and the biggest glacier left in Europe. But on the spur of the moment threw a change of clothes in my backpack and took the gondola to Bettmeralp, an oasis mountain village on the side of a mountain, below the rim of the Aletsch glacier. Found lodging and decided to go for a day hike despite the light rain. It was so cool clear and refreshing. Made it to a summit early evening. Was all alone, save for the ubiquitous cow's and their bell's. Great place to méditate on cherishing all living beings and doing yoga.   https://photos.app.goo.gl/dfCyZS3HkhDpLtab8

Floating luna, disco, and replays of the Tranquility Base audio on the shores of Lago Maggiore near Stressa. Italians know how to celebrate and live holistically. Word got around that Eric Clapton was at this event.  Everyone thought it was me! 😅

Did you know, Italian cultura resides in San Diego! A whole vibrant Italian community with a long history. Perfect weather abounds here with mighty ships and F-35's flying makes for a wonderful escape from Texas heat. Went to the O-Club and relived my youth together with Lt JG Canclini. Little changes except for the faces. Life and Naval aviation keeps on chucking The place not to miss at night is the 2 Piano bar. Put a dollar and a song on the pianos and these amazing miastros will sing and play it. The talent is humbling. Am I missing a "music gene"?  San Diego
