LA GALLERIA DI VINCENT LAGANA' VINCENT LAGANA'S PHOTO GALLERY	V&L ImAgEs

Ciao a tutti da Vincent Laganà! Vorrei dedicare la fotografia sopra esposta per uso "scarico come wallpaper" per un periodo di 30 giorni sul vostro sito come "Exclusive" per gli ITULIANS e i loro visitatori. Sperando che la mia proposta sia di vostro gradimento voglio dire che mi dà tanta gioia il fatto di poter condividire queste immagini con i Fans dei leggendari Jethro Tull. Penso che sia questa la filosofia del World Wide Web, cioè libertà informatica, ossia una biblioteca globale dove anche le fotografie hanno la loro dignitosa funzione. Questa imagine non potra` essere in nessun modo modificata senza l'autorizazione da parte mia, il mio copyright e indirizzo web rimane sempre sull' immagine. Al momento sto usando questa stessa fotografia sul mio "desktop". Vedi foto allegato (foto IA3n11y16799.jpg - Ian Anderson R3#11, Castello di Udine, 16 Luglio 1999 nel sito www.the-musicbox.com. Un cordiale saluto a tutti, VINCENT LAGANA'

Hello, My name is Vincent Lagana` (V&L ImAgEs http://the-musicbox.com/ ), a freelance photographer born in Brooklyn, N.Y. but, living in Pordenone, Italy for the last 22 years (45min. N.E. of Venice) . Since 1994 I've been shooting live concert photography primarily focusing on Rock & Roll, Progressive Rock, and some Blues/Rock artists (though some are not, Tito Puente, and Andreas Wollenwieder are not "Rock" music). Although coming from a family that was involved with the Opera, Neapolitan, Big Band, Mel Tourme`, Domenico Modugno, Louis Prima, Louis Armstrong, Frankie Lane to Sinatra & Dino, and Classical music, Rock & Roll, especially 60's - 70's Rock, holds a special place in my music world. I'm especially attached because is was one of the most influential impacts of global expression towards what was evolving sociologically during that decade or so. I personally believe it was the strongest "say" we had to stop the Vietnam War, and claim more civil rights for all ( "Power To The People" - John Lenon). The music was creative, and of all various aspects. In the 60's one was not labeled a form of music listener. In a matter of days or weeks people would go to see, or at least hear daily on the same radio station (NB not different stations but the same FM station) Neil Young, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Joan Baez, Frank Zappa, Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Santana, Greatful Dead, Animals, Yes, Emerson, Lake, & Palmer (ELP), Bob Dylan, Bruce Springstein, Beatles, Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, King Crimson, The Band, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, The Temptations, James Brown, Sly & The Family Stone, Buffalo Springfield, Lou Reed, Janis Jopplin, Steppenwolf, and so so many more. These "bands" changed the lives of all of us that lived through that period of time. The music was vibrantly diverse which touched the souls of all of us, young and old. Example, my grandfather introduced me to the Moody Blues, my mother loved Pictures At An Exhibition (ELP), my father, the opera singer, loves ELO, Pink Floyd, and Edgar Winter's Frankenstein. Unfortunately, today, we need to change to specialized channels to hear "Classic Rock," "Rap," "R&B," "Latino," "Pop," etc.. Very rare do we hear all these types of music on one radio station in the present times. Things seem "departmentalized." Kind of like "Divide & Conquer." Not the message we, or I experienced back in the 60"s and 70's. However, the music of that time proliferates in today's artist music because of its overwhelming impact and style. Everyone in the music business today is using "Rock Riffs" in Country, Rap, Alternative, Speed, Trash, Punk, Latino music, and so on. That is why I focused on Rock & Roll music. Sorry it took so long to get to the point but, it merits such attention.
