Franco Morone and Tim Sparks Minneapolis Star Tribune   Marshall McLuhan predicted a global village some decades back, and Italian acoustic guitar ace Franco Morone is a fine example of his theory. Morone (pictured) plays traditional Irish tunes on finger-style guitar on his delectable new CD, "The South Wind," issued by the respected German label Acoustic Music Records.     Morone's debut appearance at the renovated Cedar Cultural Centre was set up by his costar for the evening, Tim Sparks - a hometown frets hero whose brilliant "Guitar Bazaar" CD culled music from all over the planet, turning heads especially with the odd-metered songs of Bulgaria and Macedonia. When these two six-string wizards get together, listeners will be able to take a sonic world tour without leaving their chairs. - Tom Surowicz/ Minneapolis writer Copyright 1997 Star Tribune.
