JOSEPH FERRANTE, piano tuner of George Harrison

rdr909 — Wed, 16 May 2012 21:47:14 GMT

Joseph Ferrante had his first guitar as a Christmas present when he was nine years old. Since then he's been learning all kind of music styles so as to apply them to his guitar playing. He is mainly a Rock musician.
Pod's Blues, After Obsession, The Beasts, The Primitives, Ferrante's Experience, Silver Shadows, The B3, Yesterday, Bowen West, Rock Ltd., etc., etc., are some of the bands he's played with.

He worked as a piano tuner and technician for Chappell, Yamaha and other firms, perfecting the art of making and repairing pianos.
Amongst his usual customers you could find The Royal Albert Hall, The Westminster Cathedral, The Royal Scots Guard Band, The BBC, The London Symphony Orchestra, The Queen Elizabeth Hall, George Harrison, etc., etc. He also worked for the National Artists Association, attending pianos on the national tours of artists such as Maurice Hasson, Judith Jaimes, etc, etc.

He stopped giving live performances with bands and is now exclusively dedicating himself to studio work. Ferrante uses real instruments, avoiding the use of computers, sequencers, etc., etc.

Three main reasons guided his life: God, Music and Romeo and Juliet. His major musical influences are: God, Yes, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, E.L.P., Jimi Hendrix, Beethoven and Bach.

His "Shangri-la" CD is a mixture of styles and tendencies including Rock, Ballads, Classic Choirs, Latin Music, Impromptus, Reggae Fusion, Tropical Bachata, Fox Trot, Swing, etc., etc.

The land of forever..."Shangri-La"...the magical dreamplace far away beyond the mountains...the Kingdom of eternal youth, gave the title for this work.

Sarakat Festival Town Fiesta 2012 � Sta. Praxedes, Cagayan Valley the Green Garden of

CONDOmates & HOUSEmates — Mon, 14 May 2012 14:03:25 GMT

By: Fredolin Pagdilao Aguinaldo � Doha State of Qatar.

In the Philippines, Flores de Mayo � held nationwide during the Month of May. Literally meaning the �flower of May�, the town �fiesta� or feast is a Philippine tradition for centuries to commemorate the search for the Holy Cross by Reyna Elena and son, the Emperor Constantine.

In this particular episode - I would like to take you back on how �fiesta� is being celebrated during my childhood days and give insight about the evolution of our town including those of modern town �fiesta� celebrations nowadays.

The town of Sta. Praxedes is a fifth class municipality in the province of Cagayan - is the smallest amongst the town and because of geographic way of life - town folks are classified into two (2) groups: the low-Lander�s who do farming, tending domestic animals, fishing, sleeping mat weaving commonly known as �banig� or �ikamen� making in �Ilocano� dialect using indigenous �sarakat� groove leaves fiber and �sinamay� weaving using indigenous �pinya� or banana-like stalk fiber while high-Lander commonly known as �Yapayao� tend their �kaingin� to plant high-altitude rice and vegetables, fishing, collect wild edible ferns and various fruits including that of red-berry fruits and do wild animal hunting that freely roaming the woods and becomes their major sources of income in general.

The town also lacks high school education facilities - that higher educational pursuit is an obstacle to younger generation of our town those days. One has to endure living alone to seek higher education in some adjoining town or cities � the like of the municipality of Claveria and as far as Laoag city in the Ilocos region where private education is being offered by catholic congregations and private institutions to choose from.

Population too is being compromised because the lack of utilities and facilities - the like of electricity where every one has to be home at 6:00PM � dark, cold and guessed what�s next?
