Believe it or not, Angelo taught my mother and her twin sister violin at Dyker Heights Junior High School in Brooklyn NY many moons ago. Here's what she said to me about him in an email:

---

He was only 26, talk and skinny, always happy. When he said he was leaving we were all sad because he was great. He said he was moving to bigger and better things, and he did it! We loved him, and every girl had a crush on him. He wore beautiful suits and patent leather shoes -- awe the memories!

I saw Twin Peaks this year. Both seasons in 10 days. It's incredible, amazing. This video is incredible too, so intense, that music is so Twin Peaks. I'm listening and I'm seeing Laura Palmer and the owls again... Great!

Agreed, you're right.

[cagammon]

He is a liar..

Italians are known to be "passionate" in the way they speak, since they tend to do it loudly. Of course they are different, every culture is different from each other in many ways, but the differences don't relate to the passion or the expressiveness, because those are qualities that any human being can have.

That's my opinion =)

We can put an end to this discussion, I only wanted to agree with toxicpl about your way of write your opinion, which sounded like an stereotype

[ListenAndLearned]

Its the same way people may describe the way Italians speak (also using their hands), their cooking, fashion, architecture, car and motorbike design, etc.

Does a Ferrari not display 'something special' that makes it differ from other cars ? Of course its all opinion but to deny the differences exist would be ignorant.

About my wording - notice i used the adjective 'so' expressive, connect 'so' well. This would not suggest that other nationalties do not connect or are not expressive.

[ListenAndLearned]

I personally find Italian artists to be particularily passionate and expressive in comparison to artists of other nations. My attempt of an explanation for this is their unashamed 'honesty' with their own heart and mind, which may be (for example) frowned upon in some cultures.

For the sake of people who don't believe in stereotypes i could have worded it differently but since i am used to hearing this opinion on Italians i have said it directly.

[Parsilofon]

not americans but northamericans, sorry

[Parsilofon]

saying that "italians are expressive and connect so well with the heart and soul" makes no sense. those things have nothing to do with the country you're born in. that's why he said it's an stereotype. why italians and not americans or chileans or germans?

[Lord Arckanes]

Lol !

His talking about a masterpiece, and "yeah so David tells me we're in a dark woods... Yeah that's it. Laura shows up. Yep, you got it, you got it !!!!"

And that's how Laura Palmer's theme was composed ! Thank you Angelo !
