notes

on june 2d of 2002 diego labriola was struck by a vehicle in front of 3932 cedar ave in south minneapolis, minnesota;
and died on june 5th. diego was an organ donor. my son diego was a radiant beam of pure love and inexhaustible
energy. his excitement for life was as contagious as his beautiful smile. one could see the unfolding love of the
universe while gazing in his intense eyes. his gifts of loving, caring and care taking others were abundant and
generous. i will never forget his laughter,
goofiness, drumming, hugging, holding and kissing. he was my angel of light. since diego’s passing i have been
on a journey to find diego’s existence as spirit. then i realized in order to find diego, i must first learn who i am in spirit.
this recording is diego’s dad’s reaction to a sudden-painfully-excruciating look at reality, as i had never imagined: through the death of my young son. time and space drastically altered (becoming insignificant) and sleep became futile until exhaustion occurred. and as reality defined itself soon after his death, reality seemed to shift into an unconscious state of longing and spirit journeying. this passion, a relentless obsession, questioned the defining lines of reality and the dream states. are we humans having a spiritual experience or are we spirits having a human experience? if we are multidimensional beings can our reality and dream states shift position? or do we perhaps simultaneously exist in several realities or dimensions at the same time? what is more real or meaningful? perhaps we are indeed immortal entities, very unaware of a spectacular journey that awaits all of us, in the form of spirit. this is the direction i have been going and it feels like diego is leading me to my spirit.
thank you diego
daddy loves you

  • Heartfelt, Loving, Impressive Confessional, Gripping and Cool!
    author: Tom Surowicz

    Known in Twin Cities reggae and world-music circles for his percussion skills, Mick LaBriola reinvents himself as a guitar-wielding singer/songwriter on the album “Songs for Diego, I’m Missing You.” Inspired by the crushing loss of his 6-year-old son in a 2002 car accident, the CD is heartfelt, loving and occasionally spooky, laced with between-song snippets of Diego’s voice, then augmented beautifully with violin and percussion parts, even some oud playing. There are several impressive confessional folk numbers, including the gripping title track, and one slice of cool reggae dub, “Live In You.”
