I remember when they were arguing over who the best guitarist ever when George
Harrison died. Not really the same class!

I'm pretty eclectic..."It's all good"
(Even if I can appreciate the "high-brow" or "elitist" approach to the more
technically demanding styles of music.)

I think the reason I stumbled on to John Williams first was the song that I think was called
"The Love Theme" from "The Deer Hunter".
That song takes my breath away every time I hear it.

I think it was originally titled something like "Walking Stick" and done by
Weissburg (?).

Just the kind of music that can make even "real men" cry at it's elemental beauty.

(OK, that's as pretentious and touch-feely as this Okie will get...)

Well, I like Mason Williams, too. His "Sunflower" and "Shady Dell" are wonderful, and "Classical Gas" gives me goose-bumps. There is room for all kinds of music for all of us. And, you are right, apples and oranges applies to guitarists, too. Segovia just has my heart.

John Williams' guitar composition of the Deer Hunter was originally Cavatina, 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.
