Sotto Voce

I awoke with that term running through my head--
no, swirling through my head.
I drowsily pondered, "Is it a musical direction, or a law term?"
(shut up)
I kept running it over the tongue of my mind,
loving the feel of pronouncing it,
silently.
So I googled it.
(like, duh)
and it means "whispered, or spoken in soft tones" and it is also a musical direction.
AND.
it is Italian for "under(soto)+ voice(voce)".
guess why this kicks ASS?
because today, my...friend...is sending me some audio files on How to Speak Italian.
and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
we're as connected as a Don's first-born son.
