Here is link

Very enjoyable video.  Well done Maggie.  Thanks for posting it Martin.  It makes me want to go to Europe for a fig tour during fig season.

Job well done.

Very nice, All the Best

Very nice video.  A+

I like best that oldie song "Mezza Luna?" at the start of the Paradiso fig part.
It has been a veeery long time since I heard that tune.
Man, it made me  jump and dance with my own-self-old-bones...

Ciao Martin, thanks for putting this up :)

Thanks everyone for the nice remarks, Thats makes me feel good.

Hey George!!!  You sound like others who have written me via youtube who were looking at fig videos.  quite a few people contacted me and said about the song, " Che la luna" by wonderful,funny Calabrese, Lou Monte. They said not only were they very interested in my fig varieties, but they loved the songs especially Che la luna, many of them said they grew up listening to that song and hadn't heard it in years and it made them very happy. So good for your old bones, its good to get up and dance and celebrate this life god has given us.

Besides the fig aspect, if it made these people happy and maybe it brought back good memories for them, My work is done. I like to make people happy and glad I could do that for them. Ciao

Patrizio Buanne luna mezzo mare ....

Yes George thats first email i wrote after Maggie sent me this ,
here is little piece of it that i wrote Maggie but not the whole email i can write some long ones !

George, I saw the video, wonderful, thanks for posting this one by Patrizio.

Martin, this song is the one you are talking about.  It has been sung soo many times by so many and even changed up alot and especially the name of the song, some call it Oi Mamma, Lazy Mary, Che la luna, so many different names. Its just a crazy crazy song. My Uncles had a very dirty version of this song as well, they would drink to much wine and sing it  but a bad version and my nonna would get mad, and their wives. They would just laugh though.

Ciao

This is one song Martin probably likes to sing to his figs and
that makes them grow so productive and beautiful...

Dean Martin "That's Amore!"

Well Maggie you made me happy and brought back good memories i always cherish when young on Sunday mornings. Many thanks for that.
George thanks for posting the links there very enjoyable and excellent to listen to, it does make one feel good.
Maggie ,George something clicked in my head and now i remember that it was a Louis Prima album that the song was on yes very similar , here at the 1:49 mark is how i remember the zooma zooma sung

 i also remember dads albums were made of a like glass(he yelled if i touched them) not the vinyl later on that came out, if you drop they broke easily.  
Gosh  now listening makes me remember many fine memories i even had a hair back then !
Just click image and hey no laughing - well forget about it go ahead and laugh  ; )

Ciao Martin, I never heard this variation of Che la luna before by Louie Prima, I like it very much thanks for posting the Link.  I like the Angelina song also, will have to make a cd of these from limewire. I didn't hear much from Louie Prima, we always listened to Como, Dino, Lou Monte mostly, and many traditional singers from Italy, which was alot of folkie music, which I love. Caruso was a king in many homes. my family did not like much Frank Sinatra either, My father had a very BIG problem with him, I know he met him one time and it was not a nice meeting somehow something went wrong, I think it was in Atlantic City. He was never played after that in our home, I still don't listen to much of him, Pop never discussed it. The great movie about Sicilian immigrants who opened up a small Italian restaurant call " Big Night" was the movie, It was starred Stanley Tucci,  there was alot of good Louie Prima songs.  I try to keep up with what is being played in Italy alot now, my younger relatives there send me CD's of the newer " hearthrobs" like Fabrizio Moro and Tiziano Ferro, which I like alot, but what I like is the younger generation there still loves to dance a good Tarantella, and know every word to the older songs, they really cherish history and old things, which I am very proud of them for.
Thanks Martin, P.S.  I liked your younger pic..................

Adriano told me that if I wanted my figs to do well I would have to sing to them in Portugese,   but I guess Italian will do just as well, :-)

Hblta, sing italian to the Italian figs, sing portuguese to the Portuguese ones, the Port.figs may not understand what your saying if you sing to them in Italian!!!  :-)))) Thats funny.

I thought it was funny too. He has a sense of humour.

Bumping this up for some new members since then to see.
Hey its winter , we have snow, its cold cause its January and its my hope some here will enjoy the music even if your not Italian.

Still hoping Maggie for new video with figs with Dino singing thats Amore for you to make maybe this coming fig season

What a great video!  Nice music too!  Thanks for sharing!  Makes me wish spring would hurry up and come!!!

Thanks Maggie for the great production and for sharing your garden and the music and Martin for the post.  In 2008, I visited several towns in Italy and had my share of those marvelous Italian fresh figs.
