I never realized how popular gospel music is in Italy. In December, 2007, my wife and I went to our first gospel music performance at a church just outside Monte San Savino (AR) later in the month we attended another one with my daughter and her boyfriend in Siena in Tuscany. This year, we have attended other gospel music performances. I can tell you it an amazing sight to see the Italians in the audience clapping their hands, singing along and nodding their heads in time with the music.

Some of these performance have already happen but plan on attending next year's Gospel Music Festival performances in December, 2009 and January, 2010.

That's it for Tuesday, 23 December 2008: martedì, 23 dicembre 2008.
