Shivers up my spine

Me and my Takamine Hirade 7 of 1977
Leona Boyd
Andre's Segovia
Julian Bream
Their repertoire interpretation, unpretentiousness for presentation (and lack of concern to offend critics of others for liberties taken to change or alter certain needed small aspects in transcriptions of phrasings to better accommodate the flow of the music to make sense to the ear).
Feeling, technical ability and deep sense of keeping the originality come to play hear when I look deeply into this 3 wonders for me.
The early records are not good for Andres but they captured what was available but the remastering is sufficient for any decent ear.
I feel dwarf by the wonderful energy, love and meticulous efforts each of these 3 great people have put into ensuring future generations of students, teachers, parents and listeners will have the most rich repertoire of sheet music and the best arrangements and ensemble music from which is available to pull from for whatever the occasion.
I know the benefits to support our world community of Guitarist is one of the most important work we could begin to manifest as this time have an endowment that would shrink all the others. It is time to do it. NOW!
Love, peace and rest upon the sounds of music that inspires our brains and emotions to places that no other music has the ability to do.
I love God, Guitar and well shaped nails
Namaste, much metta
James
