Hey Peter.

Huh?

Well, I was going to say.

What'd you say?

Exactly.

I can't hear you.

Go to Open Studiojadogadjazz.com for all your jazz lesson needs. Peter, we got a speak pipe today. Now, say that three times. I can't. It's really hard,

awkward word. Speak pipe. So speak pipe just means a voicemail. You can leave us a speak pipe if you go to you'll hear it.com. It's right there. It says leave us a message. And you can ask us a question like

Luca did here. Let's listen to what Luca wants to know. Hi,. It's Luca from Milan, Italy. I'm a big fan of yours, follow you every day.

I have this question for you. How do you cope with the sensation of not hearing the piano

while playing unplugged? I mean, in general, when we play, we have our amp, we have our monitor, so we can hear the

piano very well, and our dynamic is full, and we are relaxed and everything.

But when you play old school on stage without any amp, there's a lot of noise, the drum is

very loud, maybe you're the one on stage that can hear the piano less than anybody else because, for instance, the drums can hear you better than yourself because he's on the side where the sound gets projected. And when it happens to me, since I'm not accustomed to it, I tend to overplay. My sound gets very stiff. I put a lot of tension on it and I don't like it. So what do you do when it happens? I mean, do you experience the same thing and how you cope with that? You get along with that. Thanks a love, guys. Bye-bye. Thanks for that, Luca. Again, go to you'll hearat.com. I want to leave us a message yourself. That's a good question.

That's an awesome question.

Thanks, Luca. First of all, I just want to say Luca's English is incredible. It reminds me, it's pretty much the equivalent of my Italian. I've often been said that... I've heard your Italian, and I don't think you... A little different than Luca's English. Yeah, I don't even know if you could,

do you even know the word amplifier?

I know.

Stage?

Yeah, Bella.

Exactly. Um, a cafe. A cafe. A cafe. Do it, cafe. Do it, cafe. Yeah. So this is such a great question. And very topical because I know you, we both experienced this many many times so the first the answer to the

first part do we experience it absolutely I will speak on our behalf totally yeah and it actually
