Well I woke up this morning with a pain in my neck
A pain in my heart and a pain in my chest
I went to the doctor and the good doctor said
You gotta slow down your life or you're gonna be dead
Cut out the struggle and strife
It only complicates your life

Well I cut down women, I cut down booze
I stopped ironing my shirts, cleaning my shoes
I stopped going to work, I stopped reading the news
I sit and twiddle my thumbs 'cause I got nothing to do
Minimal exercise
To help uncomplicate my life

Gotta stand and face it, life is so complicated

tolo 6 biography
Founded in Rome, Italy in 1969 - Disbanded in 1972

In 1969 a couple of musicians from Viareggio band GLI EREMITI (Luciano Casa and Jimmy Santerini) joined a band from Livorno (I Rangers), and the resulting five-piece was called CAPITOLO 6. Two drummers were included in this line-up, though Luciano Casa mostly played 12-string acoustic guitar and sang backing vocals. The group obtained a record deal with RCA subsidiary It (thanks to RCA producer Roberto Tessandori, who was also from Viareggio), a label that was much interested in singer-songwriters than in rock groups, and a second single on the new label appeared in 1971, the group being by now based in Rome. They had a promising live activity, playing at Viareggio festival in 1971, and even supported Led Zeppelin in Rome, but 1972 saw a line-up change, with original members Casa and Santerini leaving. New keyboardist Antonio Favilla and sax/flute player Loriano "Fischio" Berti were taken in; Berti left after not long (he's credited on the LP among the composers), and the remaining quartet released their first and only album in the same year.

"Frutti Per Kagua" is a mixed album with two very different sides, the first one containing the 22 minutes long title track, with flute in evidence and a good sound. Guitarist Bartolotti was responsible for the heavier sound of the group. Side two contains three shorter tracks with good lyrics (by Italian songwriter Francesco De Gregori) but less inspired in their musical content. A single with "Il Grande Spirito" (with an unreleased track on B-side) was also taken from the album, but the band decided to split due to the lack of success. They had also been featured, singing other artists' songs, in some RCA compilations released throughout the world for the Sanremo 1972 festival (see details below).

Keyboardist Antonio Favilla was involved in the short-lived second line-up of CAMPO DI MARTE, he had drug problems and sadly died in the early 90's. Even original keyboardist Santerini died from leukaemia in 1977.

I Know you played Mama Frog before so I had this set-up:
Jabberwocky"

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

Long time the manxome foe he sought

— So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through The vorpal blade went snicker- snack!

He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
