I entered Piazza Navona today on my mindless wanderings and was saddened to see the three wonderful fountains surrounded by barricades. I was baffled until I remembered that the other day I read in the daily paper about a vandal that had caused damage to a fountain at the Piazza and then again at the Trevi Fountain. How profoundly sad. I guess that was the reason for the barricades. I walked around missing the freedom of being able to stand beside them and feel the spray of the water. And then.........................
And then I heard beautiful, uplifting music!! These gentlemen gave me a much needed smile and reminded me that all is right again. I love them for being there today.

P.S. I'm happy to report that the barricades are down and Piazza Navona is back to normal. Also, I've seen these gentlemen play another time (near the Pantheon) and I think I have a crush on the sax player. He reminds of my grandfather. I spoke with him as he walked home after a gig one evening and complimented him on his music. He graciously said it was the complete foursome that made it good, not just him. Then he said thank you very much pretty lady. Now I know I have a crush on him.
