This is my all-time favorite musician. This guy was fantastic. Especially his baroque pieces.

He was "Un-Plugged" before it was cool.
He was the greatest...and I love the successors like John Williams.

I was once in line to check into the campus hotel at the University of Massachusetts (c. 1978) and I was in line behind an older, shorter man, built like a fire-hydrant and wearing a black overcoat and black fedora. He didn't exactly fit in on the college campus. So he registered and then walked over to pick up his suitcase and a guitar case. (Actually, the guy looked like a gangster from 1929.) When I walked up to the desk to register I asked the young lady who that last guy was. She said she didn't know and flipped the book around so I could read the name. It was Julian Bream, who was probably the heir to Segovia's title as world's greatest classical guitarist. My lone "brush with greatness", LOL!

I agree! I saw him at one of his last concerts. He was very frail and had to be helped on to the stage, with someone else carrying the guitar for him. But once he started playing he was as vibrant as ever. At the end, the entire audience got all emotional in their ovation, realizing perhaps that it was their last chance.
