Thanks for clearing that up, Steve. ;)

Ah, I see. You meant that "negative proof" is a fallacy, which is correct.

Actually, you can prove a negative.

BTW, when was the last time Key explicitly ruled out NZF for a Nat-led coalition?

the episode with the mayor who wants to hire Morricone to compose a soundtrack to his island is a gem.
Ha. I can imagine.
"Nessuno. Troppo occupato."

Piero Piccioni, film composer and pianist, most active c. '60-'80 (though he was a bandleader, as a teenager, even before the war). Style often characterised by Jazz influences. Composed for more than 300 films (at least 30 with Alberto Sordi). Probably the best-known Italian film composer after Morricone and Rota. These two give a small taste of his brilliance.
Rugido Do Leão (1974) typfies his Brazilian influences, his great horn charts, and his jaunty attitude.
C'era una volta (1967) is one of his most famous themes, celebrated for its haunting beauty.
I'm also listening to Morricone (obviously), Bruno Nicolai, Piero Umiliani, Alessandro Alessandroni, Stelvio Cipriani, De Angelis fratelli, Berto Pisano, Franco Micalizzi, Armando Trovajoli, Giorgio Gaslini...

What was that called?
Revival Records?
Used to be where the Sky Tower is now. Great shop, in its day. -
But you really, really, really don't want to get me started on the music.
Don't get me started.
I'm on a big Piccioni kick at the moment.

It wasn't cheap
A recent CD purchase for me was listed by Groovy at $59.95. I picked it up elsewhere (also new) for $36.95.
Nevertheless, many great vinyl finds there (4 for $10!) since the late '80s.

I touched in my two previous posts on the role of food and objects, and a lot more could be said of rituals and symbols and language...
and the music!
Luigi Tenco (arr. Ennio Morricone), "Quello che conta", 1962
