About Me
- Name: Joseph
- Location: Santa Barbara, California, United States
I'm a homebody, but wherever I am is home. I enjoy cooking dinner and playing classical guitar for my friends. Ambiance is important to me. I’m neat, but a mess doesn’t bother me as long as it doesn’t interfere with the Chi of my space. I love music, hate noise; I get to choose which is which. I believe music is the language of the universe, and that 440 is the fundamental vibration of the life force. I believe in genetic logic and ethics. (They are hardwired in the Genome) We have learned to override our genes on an intellectual level, just as we are learning to override them in the physical realm, hence the human condition. I believe in the power of ing― living and dying are the same thing. If you are dying, you are not yet dead. If you are living, you are not yet dead. You get to decide which you are doing. Knowing, is easy. The difficulty is in the doing. Each morning is my birthday.

Chaconne is to be enjoyed and savored on at least four levels. Mr. Mastroianni's account of growing up in an Italian family on the East Coast is revelatory and makes you feel part of this clever, kind young boy's experiences. All throughout both his childhood and adulthood, we follow the evolution of an obsession: in this instance, to play J.S. Bach's Chaconne on the classical guitar. Interspersed chapters transport us to the 18th Century with original insights into that composer's life. The novel culminates with a life-changing experience while a helicopter pilot. In all this, we can see Mr. Mastroianni as a remarkable man, and what's more, eminently likable! You will enjoy Chaconne!
