If I had one wish come true today, I would be sitting on a patio on a narrow, cobbled street of Sestri Levante, Italy, kept cool by a sea breeze and drinking a glass of red wine. I would be celebrating in the fine company of my Italian and Canadian musician friends, savouring the endless beauties of that place and that moment. We would talk about the shows we have played together and the enduring magic that music and places and friendship inspire. We would remember and drink to one beautiful evening in particular, in a wooden beamed theatre among those piacevole foothills of Piemonte, where we performed as one, come fratelli, as brothers; alive in Italy.
