Hi, I've been a fan of Leonard Cohen's since 1970 when a friend at the music store I worked in gave me a copy of Songs of Leonard Cohen. It's still one of my favorite albums. I was listening to an album of the Italian
artist Fiorella Mannoina and heard a duet with a man. I asked who that
guy was - something about him reminded me of Leonard Cohen. I had to find out more about him and when I found something I could get yahoo
to translate (unfortunately I don't know any Italian) it said Gregori had listened to alot of Leonard Cohen and Dylan! I can't find anyone who knows anything about De Gregori and wondered if anyone on this list from Italy could help me? Exact word for word translations don't work well
and I read something that said he doesn't translate well into English. I don't know how often everybody checks in here, is OK under the rules of this forum to e-mail somebody that has put their e-mail under their picture in the gallery for something like this? Thanks, Lou Ann

I have found Francesco a few years by a reference on Amazon when I was looking for Fabrizio DeAndre ! Now I have three Italian musicians on my favorite list of Italian singers:

Fabrizio DeAndre
Angelo Branduardi
Francesco DeGregori
