Fino Fusco came to Meath Street in the Liberties from a village in the mountains of south Italy some 50 years ago. His parents ran a chip shop called Fusco's.
He had not one word of English and was placed in the local school, St James' with some 400 local lads. For two years he was protected by a great friend called Patrick, and then his parents took him out and sent him to Boarding school in Killashee. They thought he would catch the study bug - but he hated school and knew all along that he wanted to work in his parents' chipper. Then he was sent to a former boarding school called Belcamp, on the Malahide road. He had no interest and spent most of his time hanging around with a few lads from the recently built Darndale.
He was invited to leave Belcamp early and went working in the chipper. His destiny was the chipper, no matter what he studied - or did not study.  
Chippers made money in the 1970s, 80s and 1990s but now only 10% of chippers are Italian in Ireland, due to changing habits.
Listen to this and more from Fino, the working class man who is satisfied with his life. Good for him.

Thank you, Fino. Thank you, listener.

Hello, this programme is just a beginning, an appetizer, the first draft of a series of shows exploring the concept of WORK. (Please share and suggest to others)

Are you somebody? 

Are you nobody if you do not have a ‘job’.

If you look after your elderly parents – well that’s not really a ‘job’. It’s … err … it’s … kind of ‘helping out’.

A real job is where you have a manager, colleagues, an identity, you get paid, you spend money, you buy shit, you feel good when you say: “Me, I am an engineer, a barista, a pilot”.

Yes, I have a role in society. I contribute. I exist.

I hide myself when I have no job. My confidence dips.

What do YOU do to make the world a better place? I save lives, all you do is stack shelves. That’s why I am paid ten times more than you. My job is important, that is why I am worth so much in the market.
This is just a provocative, few words on the part work plays in society, our identities, our self-worth, achievement, and so on.
Anthropology, Marx, monetizing work. 
Alienation
Social capital. Public respect.
People on welfare? Why am I paying tax? Who are these people who do not work?
Work is a social construct.
Thank you.

Work Part 1

the melody unfolds like a journey of self-discovery and inner growth. The sounds carry an unmistakable energy that encourages the listener to recognize and unleash their hidden potentials.

The opening notes are like a gentle call that awakens the listener's attention and invites them to embark on the journey. The melody builds slowly, creating an atmosphere of determination and self-assurance. Each tone is like a step on the path to fully realizing one's own strengths.

With each moment, the music gains intensity and vitality. The harmonies are powerful and captivating, like a storm filling the sails of a ship and carrying it over the waves. The melody urges the listener to confront their fears and transcend their limits.

At the song's climax, the energy reaches its peak, and the melody erupts in a passionate crescendo. It's as if the music brings the listener's hidden powers to life, inspiring them to unleash their full potential.

Yet even in the quieter moments of the song, there is an undeniable strength. The gentle tones are like a moment of inner reflection, where the listener connects with their true nature and explores the infinite possibilities of their being.

Ultimately, "Lotus" concludes with an aura of fulfillment and triumph. The final notes ring out like a victory march, encouraging the listener to continue unfolding their powers and living their life with passion and determination.

That´s Life Extended Mix [CronixMusix]

This is a unique recording in the sense that you have the perspective of being in the crowd. It was recorded on a studio quality hand held XY recorder by the founder of Nook Safe Space, Mckenzie Chase, who also provided harm reduction services at the show. 

The show was held at The Bossanova Ball Room in Portland, OR for Pixelate, a fundraiser for the Burning Man camp Ghost Frequencies. We had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Torbjorn and Donald Glaude just to name a few off this stellar lineup. 

You will hear crowd reactions throughout this recording and get a feel for the room size as well. There is a little treat at the end of us getting off stage for a brief interview. 

We hope you enjoy the set!
