This is my all-time favorite musician. This guy was fantastic. Especially his baroque pieces. Could you recommend any particular CD's?

I got to hear him once in concert. He didnt use any amplification, but people were so quiet that if you moved, the rustling of your clothing could be heard.

I only saw Andre Segovia on TV. I did get to see Bert Jansch at McCabes (in a tiny, very intimate room)here in L.A. in 1988 though.He's an incredible folk-blues guitar player.

When Segovia died, St Peter requested he play something to prove his bona fides. Also Picasso was asked to paint something. When Lyndon Johnson died, St Peter asked him to prove who he was. Johnson balked and St Peter pointed out that Segovia and Picasso had to do the same. "Who are those guys" asked Johnson. "Go on in, Mr Johnson," replied St Peter.

and what was the name of the 7-string folk-jazz white guy, think he was blind (not black)as well, he was one of Jansch's teachers at one point I think

There is an instrumental guitar duo recording of Charlie Byrd and Laurindo Almeda doing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" that is one of the best guitar cuts ever done....have you heard it?
I think I should put a custom CD together with Segovia and Ted Neugent, alternating....it'll be a Freeper special.

Oh yes,w/ out a doubt.There are so many too.I've come to really appreciate Folk music.Jimmy Page of Zeppelin totally thieved the riff for his 'Black Mountianside' instrumental from him and stuck it on the first Zepp album(He light-heartedly mentioned that Jimmy did that at that show-LOL ) "You may recognize this...It was/used to be called 'Black Waterside' ", and then he played it and it was beautiful.I really like the song 'Alimony'and 'Weeping Willow Blues' too,heck I'm biased,I like them all.

Sorry, I sent the reply by Private FReepMail. I recommended Segovia's Baroque classics. I got it at a Barnes and Noble. I have his Romantic collection, and a few others, but the Baroque is my favorite. He takes the classics and gives them an energetic lift. Not a dirge on the CD.

Muchas gracias mi amiga.

Segovia once said one of the goals of his musical career was "to separate the guitar from mindless, folklore-type entertainment." HEY..!!
