4 Years After (my) Petrucciani

But they didn’t. With a gun barrel between his teeth he only spoke in vowels. That’s all I remember. Drowned in his own stupidity he continues to ruin his life with a fake smile on his face. Desperately trying to be happy. Just being a copy of a copy. Of a copy. Never really alive, never really dead [...] I guess he never got it. Good bye, Bob!
(Michel Petrucciani’s last concert was in Bucharest, december 1998, just one week before he passed away)
come to think of it, the idea of resentment is pretty hard to find in petrucciani’s music. well, you managed to invent one. whatever makes you tickle, i guess.
