Forever pushing the boundaries of the steel guitar - here's another one from Kay!

The steel guitar knows no boundaries...
Here is one of my favorite Italian songs, made famous by Antonello Venditti in 2003. When it was first released I was in Milan strolling along a shopping mall at the time and heard it in a CD store and had to immediately get it. "Che Fantastica Storia è La Vita" translated should read, "What a Fantastic Story Is Life". I entered new territory here as I double tracked for most of the tune......The guitars used were the Steelocaster A6th and the West Coast B11th. Key of A.
The backing is by Luciano of the Shadows Italian site.
As the tune may be unfamiliar to most, here is a link to a youtube entry of the vocal original:

Thanks to Gerald for uploading my"improved" version, a little more adventure in double-tracking, and I changed the outro. You can access it with the same link as before.
This tune gained huge popularity in Italy as you may judge from the Youtube video link, apologies for the audio and video quality. Nary a steel guitar on stage, though...
