QUANDO QUANDO QUANDO

Tell me when will you be mine Tell me quando, quando, quando We can share a love divine Please don´t make me wait again When will you say ´yes´ to me? Tell me quando, quando, quando You mean happiness to me Oh, my love, please tell me when Ev´ry moment´s a day Ev´ry day seems a lifetime Let me show you the way To a joy beyond compare I can´t wait a moment more Tell me quando, quando, quando Say it´s me that you adore And then, darlin´, tell me when (instrumental strings and brass) Ev´ry moment´s a day Ev´ry day seems a lifetime Let me show you the way To a joy beyond compare I can´t wait a moment more Tell me quando, quando, quando Say it´s me that you adore And then, darlin´, tell me when Oh, my darlin´, tell me when Mmm, my darlin´, tell me when

Sometimes a song says it best...
WHEN...?
Even though this song is about a man and a woman, it could also be the pleading of a human for a dream, any dream, to me its waiting for the moment when a connection can bring joy. Explain? Well, that's my ambition as an artist of course. I want to show people "the way to a joy beyond compare" - not much to ask is it? Compare and Contrast (as an old O-Level paper might demand) with contemporary artists..? I would like to console not control.

The dance that goes with this song, Quando Quando, I learned at a Horley Adult Education centre. Its like a Salsa, and one I found tricky but fun. I like (to) dance as it is challenging, disciplined, and takes you out of yourself - if you let it: if you dont become anxious about being clumsy and clodhopping! Ah to be graceful and fleet of foot, or at least think of myself that way. What's the saying "Dance Like No-One Is Watching!"? - yet an audience is important and sometimes the raison d'etre.. funny that.. I like to paint for an audience, but I dont like the idea of "performance"..
