I've just caught up with these, Luigi - what a brilliant idea, and your take on it is fascinating. I love the way you build up the story, releaasing carefully judged bits of information with each instalment. A very enjoyable read.

I don't know what version of the song you know, but I grew up hearing the Frank Sinatra version, which in my own view is the best...

Marvellous use of an object
Posted on Tue, 23 Apr 2019
