The daring Giovanna.

Giovanna is my Italian true love’s dear friend. Therefore, she’s my friend, too. That’s the way it is. My true love’s friends are my friends. Automatically. I like Giovanna very much. Because she’s daring and bold. Not afraid to go on stage. And sing. She has a beautiful voice. And she’s joined an Italian musical group that performs Irish music. They’re good. Often taken as real Irish folk.  Giovanna sings with a brogue.  Dances, too. Sprightly Irish stuff. Giovanna always keeps me guessing. About her next exploit. The latest:  she’s turning to politics. Running for county office. In Italy, of course. Wouldn’t surprise me if some day she’s prime minister. –Jim Broede
