Bellavia (Live, 1989)

[Intro]
Thank you
We're gonna feature Chris Vadala
And play a song of mine that, uh, won us our first Grammy award
As some of you probably know, we had nominations for years and years
And we never won anything
This particular year we had a nomination for Best Instrumental Composition
And the other people in the category were
Stevie Wonder
Earth, Wind and Fire
Chick Corea
Henry Mancini
And Quincy Jones
So I felt like I was in the Kentucky Derby riding Mister Ed
Yeah
So we didn't go to the Grammys
We took a gig in Champaign, Illinois
Watched on tеlevision when Paul Simon announced that wе had won
Well, I'm glad they waited for this song to give us the first Grammy
'Cause it's a song I wrote for my Mom
Title is her maiden name
And it's called "Bellavia"

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Chris Vadala
And mamma mia, mama
