“Ho anche dei cassoni Saba di fabbricazione tetesca, con quelli ci ascolto il blues scrostato perche` secondo me c`e` un certo fascino visivo, guardi la griglia spelacchiata, senti Coltrane e Sun Ra, il suono e` cavernoso, e sai che i cassoni erano li` ai tempi. Adesso basta  che mi sto commuovendo. “
