Was that the unmistakable sound of Jimmy Hendrix coming from deep inside the woods? Yes indeed it was and we were about to benefit big time!
Yesterday we went for a walk in the nature park (Parco Breggia) which features a gorge and is just 10 minutes from our home. Imagine our surprise because as we followed the sound of the music we found a grotto, Grotto Mulino, (a typical pub/eatery found in Ticino where one eats simple local food) that we had never been to.
We decided to stop and have some typical grotto fare and enjoy a few tunes by this very talented band as they "serenaded" us with Jimi Hendrix tunes! Keep in mind that the music in a grotto is usually of the lute and accordion variety!
These Guys Rocked It Really Well! Have a Short Listen!
Three guys, a very simple set-up and the atmosphere of an outdoor Grotto! Fabulous!
The band ( I never did discover their name) playing "Hey Joe"!
Not quite the big stage that they may have dreamed of but we LOVED their performance! Notice the piece of cardboard to put his mic and effects pedal on! Keeps the gravel out of your sandals too!
A Typical Dish at a Pub With Atypical Music!
Beer, salami, formagini, pickles, pickled onions and bread. What more do you want?
All Too Soon we Had to Leave!
We had never planned to eat and listen to music. Just a short walk before meeting someone for another appointment and so we only got to hear a few tunes! However as @lellabird60 said: "sometimes the best days are not planned!"
