i thought this should be posted on the Yusuf Islam section of the msgboard, but since the Yusuf Islam in Germany is here at the Cat Stevens board, i'd leave at the moderators to fix it if they want
btw: the great news is that Yusuf will perform at the Concerto dell'Epifania in Napoli - Neaples -, Italy, the 4th of January 2007, which is organized by a catholic organization for the dialogue between religions
the show will be broadcasted by the italian national TV the day of the 6th of january, in time with the meaning of the event
there will be other special guests performing, so i assume yusuf will perform only few songs, but this is an event: first time Cat Stevens is back to italy since his only performance, the 11 of april 1974, Roma
oh what a joy the baby jesus is bringing to all of us... the Cat is back!
edit to add: yusuf will receive a special award for his work for dialogue between religions in the mediterranean area of europe

... and maybe a Special Edition DVD of all the Yusuf's Europe events? *thinking of Vivian's catchphrase - "the most imprtant question: HOW can we get all these goodies on DVD??" |

hello
i wasnt there, first because flying to Neaples from where I live, is more easily for me to fly to London :-)
second, because in the last week there were rumors that Yusuf was not going to perform any song - organizers and Yusuf management didnt want any song to be performed at the event
why? i dont know
so here a story from one of the major national newspapers this morning about the event (sorry for my bad english)
"Yusuf arrived yesterday - the day of the event - with his wife and his 17 years old daughter - he wanted to visit the theatre before the event in the afternoon, then retired in his dressing room. there was an incredible tight security around him; he didnt want to be photographed before the event and stay closed in his dressing room with his family, but he asked if he could have some seats in the front row for him and his family so to be in the audience with everyone during the event. he met the organizer and this important rabbi that was invited at the event too. He said he was deeply moved by the religious atmosphere of the entire event (my note: is this the first time that Yusuf take part in an event organized by a catholic group? if so, this is really an historic event: him, the most important muslim today, a rabbi and a catholic movement....).
in a separate interview the rabbi said how important is that Yusuf is performing again. The rabbi said he is a big bob dylan fan, and said that bob dylan is a religious person too but he perform anyway, so is great that Yusuf is back performign again.
he asked to eat some mozzarella (south italian most famous food) with salad.
he asked where the North (?) is, so that he could pray.
then at a certain point he said: "TONIGHT I WANT TO SING"
he asked that he could have a guitar and, broking the ruels of the event, he performed two songs. The newspaper say he performed The Wind and Maybe there's a World.
he is traveling today to Turkey to be part of i dont know which important religious event.
all in all, i really cant wait to see him tomorrow night (the broadcasting is suppose to start at 9.30 in the evening, local time)
on this newspaper there is a gorgeous photo of him, sitting and playing the guitar, dressed with a white shirt and blue jeans (?), looking good as ever
cheers
