This week, I’m going to do a little bit of recycling.<\/p>\n

This week, the world is thinking about Belgium after the awful incident in Brussels.<\/p>\n

Last year, around this time, I shared a clip that featured a performance<\/a> by my friend Alexander Surmont<\/strong> of Belgium. He did a wonderful Italian version of LOUIE LOUIE that fit in nicely with the First Italian LOUIE LOUIE Marathon organized by Riccardo Lancioni, Caterina Di Biase & company, streamed at Ormeradio.it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The video footage was something I shot with my then-new Panasonic GH4 camera on the first day of spring in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

I thought Alexander did a magnificent Italian version of LOUIE LOUIE, which was initially an exclusive for the LOUIE LOUIE documentary project, but I also thought it was perfect for last year’s Italian marathon. <\/p>\n

In this version, he rephrases the song as \u2018Da lui non hai\u2019 which translates to \u2018From him, you never have.\u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n

He also recorded two English versions and a rocking’ Flemish version\u2026 which we’ll get to \u2026 eventually, but for now here’s Alexander’s Italian LOUIE, with thoughts of Belgium\u2026.<\/p>\n
