With the Wild Duck (Enzo keyboard, Alf guitar, synt ecc, me singing) covered this beautiful love song on occasion of S. Valetino Day two years ago.

Becouse those days were not very lucky for my family, I composed a video and dedicated it to my wife

Thanks for your listen and comments and...
Buon San Valentino :-)

When - exactly a couple of years ago - Gianni decided to put online the youtube of our "Have I Told You" (anyway Gianni made a very good video, IMHO, with great images), I couldn't imagine what would happen "after":

- the management of Van Morrison asked immediately to cut off a picture of Van the Man OR cut the entire video at all  :( ...Gianni had put it inside the video as a hommage to the author of the song, but it seems that the management didn't like this hommage. No complaints about putting online a cover of the song, the only problem was Van's face in the video  ??? ??? ???

- in the following months I had the sensation that - even if we could never imagine it - we had touched a kind of tabu: in fact very soon the video received a long series of insults about my guitar solo, Gianni's voice, Enzo' piano playing...very funny... :D
- But the even funniest thing is that there's been a hiatus between the comments (mostly negative) and the % of thumbs up/down: 90/10

- in two years this video has been seen by more than 750,000 persons!  :o

Top notch cover. Everything sounds perfect.

Unfortunately Van's management represent him well...he's an asshole. They will be after me now!
