The Last Miracle of Zappadan
This evening, I experienced the last and final miracle of the festival of Zappadan.
After almost 2 days without phones and internet, it was miraculously restored....
Well, the miracle involved me climbing up on a ladder on the side of the barn and jamming France Telecoms 4 year old temporary line splices back together by hand....
It was an inspration that occured to me about 5 pm, as the sun was going down. I said to my self, the chances are fifty/fifty......
So in thanks, I am posting the recording of Fifty/Fifty from the Overnight Sensation Record with the manic warbling of Ricky Lancelotti. I love the violin solo by Jean-Luc Ponty, but my favorite part is when Franks guitar comes blasting in after Ponty's solo.
As I said, the chances were 50/50 and it worked..........
Thanks for a great year, MD.
ReplyDeleteI think many of our American friends would have difficulty imagining the trouble you described with the internet connection and the solution you had to employ. Here in Italy, I can assure you, I get it. Right now in fact I should be in the last days of using Telecom, which has been a continual nightmare. On the 30th I'm supposed to be activated on Fastweb, about which I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
